Comic-Con Visitors

Thought this was pretty cool, just like them on FB and you can win a trip to Comic-Con!

I love my late night shopping trips.

I love not having to deal with lots of people in the isles and actually being able to LOOK at items instead of being rushed to get out of the way.  The only bad part is at Walmart they tend to have the slowest cashier(notice I said cashier not in the plural sense). I really don't feel like literally waiting 30 minutes to do a ad match so I tend to save those til later in the week.  I went to my local grocery store Homeland and Walmart tonight and hit the recycle machine I've been dying to try out.

This is the card from the recycling machine outside of Homeland!  Husband just happened to have a bottle and a can in there for me to try it out.


You get one of these cards from the machine and scan it to begin, then put in email, username, password, birthday etc and scan any items if you have them.

Since I've been home I am able to check the website to redeem the points. As you can tell I only turned in 2 things and earned 10points already!

Now from the website you can get items like:(Offers vary by location)

• 100pts Enjoy one complimentary Oven Baked Sandwich with purchase of any Large Pizza at menu price at Dominos.com.
• 100pts Rack Room Shoes $5 OFF any purchase of $40 or more with this coupon.
• 45,000pts HP Photosmart Plus All in One Wireless Printer(Is that not cool!)
• 425,000pts HP All in One PC 

There's more rewards and I'm sure they add to it all the time.

So over all a good shopping experience but hoping I won't have to go back out til 2 weeks from now but we all know there's those late night trips to the store for milk...which by the way has even gone up at the local grocery store.

Homeland Match-up 5/11-5/17

In instances where there is a BOGO free sale the items will ring up at half price when checking out so you can buy just the 1 if you want.

A break from the normal

Well Saturday I was asked by a dear friend to do some photos for her.  Keep in mind I am not a professional nor do I claim to be but I think I did pretty well. I loved her camera, it had an awesome zoom compared to my simple 2x or whatever it is Cannon. Her was also a Cannon and I may just be putting it on my birthday list(Bday is July 14th *hint hint*)

Now see these photos were edited using FREE programs and are amazing in my opinion.  Now my friend has told me she paid $100 for her last photoshoot, and how much did this one cost her you ask....nothing I wanted to try my hand at photography and she wanted some pictures.  Overall we took over 200 pictures these are just the ones I edited so far...I'm not a huge fan of editing images to death either, the more natural the better.
