Free Pantene, cheap Bath and Body; Deals by the Road; All You Day 10

Last night Mike and I went for a walk and found this nice cedar glider in a junk heap. Needs a pressure wash, but it works great! Always be on the lookout for deals, where ever they may be:) Cedar lasts forever. You never know when a trip around the block on trash night might yield a treasure!

Started the day off with a 4 mile run at Jamestown Park...lovely morning.  Visited good friends in Thomasville, picked up our boat in Colfax and are having dear friends over for a cookout tonight. How blessed can one person be??!!

Great coupon for $10 off a $30 purchase at Bath & Body. This is perfect because they are also having their summer clearance sale...check it out. Coupon is good until July 5th. Time to get ahead on Christmas gifts! (Think teachers)

I will be updating daily on the All You Grocery Challenge, which runs June19- July16. The Challenge: spend only $25 per person per week or less ($150.00 for my crew) to feed your family, including eating out...but do so in a creative, healthy way. An * denotes our own garden food; (parentheses indicate healthy changes.) Winner gets $1000 and a write up in ALL YOU magazine! Please know that for grocery purchase totals, I round to the nearest dollar.



Day 10

Can't believe that we are more than a third of the way through the challenge. Time flies. Today I did a run to Holly Hill Salvage. I wouldn't make a special trip, but it is near some friends of mine, and I really needed to visit them. Nothing too remarkable: 3 bags of chunk chocolate, 30oz jar Miracle Whip, 10 individual applesauce cups, 2 boxes lime jello, box Nestle hot chocolate, beef jerky, box of cinnamon roll mix. Total out: $8.00  I also stopped by the Merita bread outlet and picked up 2 loaves of whole wheat bread and 3 packs of whole wheat hamburger buns for 80 cents each, then got an angel food cake and (guilty) a box of Hostess cupcakes for a buck each. Total :$6.00 I don't go to either of these stores often, but since I was in range, I stopped by. Also got 2 gallons of milk and 1 dozen eggs at Walgreens for $8.00.


Breakfast: coco wheats, OJ, milk (I had a 32g protein shake)
Lunch: box mac n cheese, ham, nectarines/plums/apples, water/lemonade
Dinner: burgers, dogs, baked beans, green salad, potato salad, lemonade, iced tea, pumpkin* cake (the pumpkin came from my brother's garden in Maine last fall. We made a jack-o-lantern here in NC, then toasted the seeds and pureed the "meat." It was in the freezer:) with cream cheese frosting
