walgreens this week

today at walgreen i bought the following items for approx. $13 and some change.

Transaction #1
2~60 oz bottles of clorox bleach sale price $1.29 (used 2 dollar off coupon found by the clorox wipes at kroger to wipe off your cart) you have to buy the clorox wipes deal for the coupon to work.
make sure the clerk scans that walgreens coupon in the flyer for the sale price on the bleach

2~35 ct. Clorox wipe containers (used 2 25 cents coupons. there is one that is also $1 off that would be better to use if you have it)

2 bags of Brachs mallow pumpkins

Received $3 in register rewards that I used on transaction #2

Transaction #2
2 bags of Halls cough drops (there are coupons for this but i did not have them. you can save even more if you do)

6 boxes of puffs tissues (108 ct.)

the tissues alone would have cost more than the total if I had bought them at regular price.

crispy, crunchy, yummy

last monday my favorite, favorite, favorite show premiered for the season. in celebration of the long awaited night i made some yummy treats for mr. dc (and me). mr. dc used to not like my show but now he watches it with me. i don't know if he likes the show or just the treats but either way it's nice to have him next to me. i used the carmel corn recipe that i posted HERE to make the carmel for the apples. then i just melted a few chocolate chips and drizzled the top. below is the carmel corn with a chocolate drizzle as well. so glad fall is here. and carmel apples are here. and carmel corn is here. and you are here. thanks for being here.

bedroom redo

before
with some laundry
after

the blue wall is a lovely restoration hardware-pottery barn shade of blue with some green and gray tones. i really like it. it is one of the few blues that i have found that does not look "baby blue" it is babbling brook at lowes.
we moved this glass piece of wall art to this wall because eventually there will be moldings on the wall behind the bed. and that pillow on the bed that near matches the blue wall perfectly was free from an elderly friend.
do you see the other candle holder...the match is in the bathroom
moved all of the pictures, less busy. concise.
we are really enjoying our new room...it is amazing what a can of paint can do...

up to

the above pictures are the before. don't you love all the brass and the faux paint in the water closet?
here is the after...the faucets on the sinks still have to be painted...yes you heard me right...painted. rustoleum has this amazing paint out called oiled bronze and it has a trigger spray and man does it look real.

replaced the towel bars with hooks

sprayed and UGLY mirror oiled bronze

mr. dc added this nifty magazine rack... molded into the wall


moved the towel caddy to a more functional space and doubles for tp storagecorner decor
recognize the mason jar...i think that idea was in better homes and gardens


painted that candle holder it was a free find in a garage giveaway. it was a REALLY ugly maple finish. you will see the other one tomorrow in the bedroom reveal.

more brass painted bronze

my man added a transom window above the bedroom door. this is a teaser for tomorrow. hope you like it...i sure do!
