About Me

Disco, MI, United States
Hello and thank you for reading. I am Robert from Michigan. In 2000 - 01 I left a gear shop job to pursue a Cosmetology License. I attended 800 of 1500 hours but because of not being able to find a job and attempting to pay my own way and other personal issues with being shy and such I could not finish. Its now years later and I am purging myself of all the issues that held me back before. I am not letting fear, anger, regret, or other negativity keep me from getting that licnese and then going on to make people happy with my ability to help with not just their outer beauty but how they feel on the inside. I want to finish this time and go on from there to maybe teach, own a salon, or apply myself to something I haven't thought of yet. But I need to finish. So I'm starting a blog just like I did last time. And I'm going to share the past, present, and hopefully future here. I am now a student once again at Regency Beauty Institute - Shelby Township, MI aka Lakeside Campus. Thank you again for being here and reading. ~ Wishing You No Tangles ~ Robert / PurpleBubba

Triple Mega Mania Managed

This week many stores are starting or continuing mega sales of buy 10 participating items get $5 off. Kroger, Hollywood, and VG's are 3 of them. After doing all my planning and coupon gathering for a day and a half at least I finally got out the door today at about 4 pm. My plan was to at least go to one Kroger and then to Hollywood Market and then if there was time go to another Kroger. Reason being that as a Kroger employee I don't want to do multiple transactions in one store at one time and I had more than 3 coupons or similar coupons for some of my items and didn't want them being taken for some items and not for others. Especially since some of them were on my card. I like to be able to check the receipt to see if it took the digital off.

What I have below is the actual printed list I used to help me this time. I sorted my coupons into little 10 item groups rather than by aisle or category. What is shown is the item and the quantity. Every item I bought today had some sort of coupon used. And all except for the carrots were part of a mega 10 item combo sale. I did go to Kroger at 25 Mile & Dequinder, Hollywood at Rochester & Tienken (25 Mile continued in the next county), and then Kroger at Walton & Livernois. It turns out that this printout saved me a ton of time. I was only in the first store about 1:20 and I had plenty of time to drop in to the other two stores. I have a planned VG's trip added on that I plan to do before the end of the week since I found some more coupons to give me 10 items there.

At the first store before she started scanning my coupons my total was $112.97.
