Have You Tried Flylady?

Their site is awesome. The routines are simple and easy to follow, and make for a cleaner, less stressful home. My house still has a long way to go, but things are definitely getting better. If you suffer from CHAOS, I highly recommend them.

Meijer Deals

I went to Meijer today to stock up one Tyson chicken. While I was there I found the three packet strip of Fleschman's Yeast on sale for $0.68. I purchased 6 of them. After I completed my transaction I received a $0.50 catalina for each one. So I essentially got them for $0.18 each. I don't know if they are marked down at all locations, but it wouldn't hurt to check out if you are going there anyways. I will post the rest of the transaction later.
