Saved My Rainchecks for a Sunny Day

I've been a busy bee today! I spent a good deal of time organizing my stockpile room in my garage - moving all of the same things together (I had shaving cream in three different places), straightening things up and using a marker to write expiration dates on a lot of things - soda, salad dressing, peanut butter, toothpaste, Crystal Lite and contact solution. I also rotated my soda around so the oldest soda gets drunk first. I've discovered that flavored sodas (ie. cherry Pepsi, Sprite, etc) taste ok if they're past the date, but regular old soda just doesn't (plain old Coke or Pepsi). Last week I found a case of Pepsi that had slowly been leaking all over the garage floor, so I'm making a conscious effort to rotate the cases around and drink them in order. I also took everything out of my pantry upstairs, put aside food that's getting close to the expiration date to be donated and wrote the expiration date on everything else so it will be easy to keep track of dates.

My DVD player recently bit the dust so getting a new one for about $16 and not having to use any cash sounds pretty darn'd good to me.

CVS - FYI - when you cash in rainchecks, the system will automatically bump the EB amount up to a whole dollar. So $1.99 becomes $2.

That's what I'd originally planned to do but then I decided to cash in some rainchecks while I was there.
