If you read my post HERE, you know that I’m participating in Couponing for Community.  The Facebook event page has 234 confirmed guests and over 80 bloggers participating!  If you haven’t already, head on over and RSVP and add your pictures!  Also, Couponing for Community has gotten several shout outs including Stamp Out Hunger on Facebook and Twitter, and MSN’s Smart Spending.  If you can’t link up on Facebook, email me and I’ll get your pictures posted.  I just did a big donation a couple months ago, but I was still able to pull this from the pantry and supply closet.

The food will go to Stamp Out Hunger tomorrow and the health and beauty items will go to “LuLu’s” church preschool for distribution.  My estimate is that I paid $5 for all this!

Yesterday I cleaned out my supply closet to pull items for Couponing for Community.  That was a fun task!  I try to be fairly conservative with my stockpiling.  It must fit in that cabinet.  Once I get more than say 10 toothpaste tubes I grab several and donate.  This helps to keep me sane by not having all the closets and cabinets in the house overrun with my stockpile.  I also have a tiny pantry now and I’m forbidden from putting shelves in the garage…man territory 🙂 I know some of you have much larger stockpiles with shelves and shelves if items, so you’ll be unimpressed.  I would like to see pictures of those sometime 🙂 

Parents please go to the McNeil site here to read more on the massive recall on Infants and Children’s Cold and Allergy Medications.  Parents are advised to stop using these products as they may contain a higher concentration of active ingredients or may not contain enough of these ingredients.  You can enter the NDC number of the product to determine if your household has a product effected by the recall.

Please note that the website states that this recall is “not undertaken on the basis of adverse medical events.”

I’ll be going through my medicine cabinet today. My daughter takes Zyrtec daily!

I know I’ve been really slow to get things done today.  It’s 5:30pm and CVS still isn’t up! 

Sorry, I’m just exhausted today.  I could have just laid in bed ALL day!  It didn’t happen, and I’ve actually been on the computer working on matchups for a long time. Everything just seems to be taking 5X as long! 

I’ll try to get CVS up after the kids go to bed.

Do you ever just have one of those days?
