Upload Coupons to Your Kroger Loyalty Card?

Despite good intentions, I've never been diligent enough at clipping and filing coupons to make it worth my time to use the technique when I shop.
By the time I remember the coupons, they are usually expired. On the other hand, I always use my Kroger Plus loyalty card.

Voila! Kroger has partnered with Procter & Gamble Co. to test a computer program allowing shoppers to electronically load coupons onto loyalty cards. (more)

I am SO all over this!! Load your coupons now.

Stop Eating Two Hours Before Bedtime


Well, Darling Husband (DH) actually pulled through with flying colors yesterday! My late afternoon reply to a reader's comment joyfully announced that DH called just before 1 p.m., declaring he had "eaten a healthy lunch at the hospital cafeteria." What's more, he called after work to say that he could break away in time to squeeze in a 30-minute evening walk if I didn't mind getting out in cold, rainy weather. (Um, pass. I substituted my 45-minute walk through the grocery store! By the way, here are some great ways to save on your grocery bill. Login required.)

Quietly reveling in having hit all other Phase I goals for the day, we settled down to watch the Texas American Idol and the last episode of Comanche Moon. Around 9 p.m., however, we hit the wall. Eyebrows raised and heads tilted toward the kitchen, we sighed,"Can't do it. We're past the cutoff time to stop eating."

For the first time in a long while, DH came to bed before 11 p.m. - the end of Golf Central. Whether to keep from eating or to prepare for a 5:30 a.m. drive to Texas this morning, I'm not sure. All I know is we made it through yesterday victoriously...together.

WAHOO!!
