November 2 through the 8

There is not a lot that I need this week, so sorry this isn't a great post. I am just going to go and spend $30 on General Mills at Albertson's so that I can get my $15 voucher. The sale includes cereal, lipton noodle mixes, green giant vegetables, betty crocker potatoes, and brownies. Have a great week! Also I have taken over the making of the Harmons list so take it look at and let me know what you think.
