A little before 6am this morning, I was rudely awakened by my cat, Daisy. She has this lovely little trick for waking me up - she will bat around plastic bags or paper, or rummage through my jewelry. Then, when I rebuke her in the name of all things holy, she jumps on me and walks all over me while I try to return to sleep. Sometimes she gets right up in my face and purrs loudly. Other times she lightly licks my arm. Thankfully, this is not an every morning ritual. Her food bowl was empty and, evidently, she wasn't willing to wait.
Unable to go back to sleep, I decided to go grocery shopping at 6:30am. Just me and all the other money-saving freaks. It's triple coupon time at Harris Teeter, and thanks to saavydollar and sue stock, I had mapped out my trip to use the coupons to the most effectiveness. I got 20 items - 3 were free, for 2 items I got $ back, and most others were for pocket change. Not bad. And, it took every fiber of my being to resist the pumpkin spice latte, as the cost of such would almost nullify the point of all my savings. It's an evil thing to tempt me with starbucks with every trip to the grocer.
One of the best parts was being out in the COOL air. I love it. If only it could be fall all year 'round.

My little furry alarm clock

I went to Harris Teeter today too. It sure is fun to give them 20 coupons and then watch the price go down, down, down!
Too bad there's no HT here and with gas prices, my "savings" would be spent driving home. Oh well. I guess I'll have to settle for Aldi.
