Dick's Gone Big: Always looking for a deal.

     I haven't posted in awhile, so decided I should write a little something. Have been taking it easy, relaxing. Geoff and I have found our new favorite place to go to the movies, so we have been checking out some movies and eating of course! There's a movie theater close by that charges $5.50 all day, everyday, but only if you have their card. Which brings up an interesting topic. These cards for every place has become crazy! I used to just have my CVS card on my key chain, but now seems like every place you go you need their card to get a discount. Now these cards are free, so whats the big deal!! I have found that the grocery store one is pretty cool. Not only do you get the "club price", which is usually way cheaper, but you can go to the website and clip coupons and when you swipe the card it automatically takes off the coupons you clipped. Just wish you could get the prices without having to carry a million cards around with you.
     I try to get to the commissary once a week because they have some good prices. Now I love to roam around the store aimlessly, but apparently at this place everyone is in a hurry and has carts filled to the brim and some have two carts! So, as I am just wondering down aisle by aisle, I have all these crazy people talking shit as they go around me! Of course, I throw out interesting remarks to them to make life a little more exciting! My favorite part about going to the base is the Package Store. See in California they charge you a CRV on each can or bottle. Which is dumb, but whatever. So at the base I can buy beer and not only pay no tax, but no CRV either! So the other day, I got 30 Coors Lights for 17.99, but there was a 2$ in store coupon, so paid 15.99 and was out the door; not too shabby.
   There is a Bevmo here, which has lots of beer and wine. We went there, with our club card in hand, and found a great deal there! They were running a special on some wine, where you buy one bottle and get the next bottle for .05. So, we of course loaded up to fill our wine rack! Like a glass of red wine every now and again!
     I have been addicted to Pinterest lately. Finding new recipes and trying them out has become an addiction!! It is fun to see what will actually be good, and what really isn't! I have also been addicted to anything resembling s'mores! I don't think I have every even had a real s'more, but at Pioneer Days I had some s'more rice krispy treat, and I have been trying to recreate those! I have made some interesting one and will keep trying each recipe till I find the right one!
   On one of our movie days, we decided to go out to eat afterwards. We tried out a burger place with some good burgers! Ended up going to the car to a dead battery. And, of course, we had to be parked where you couldn't get to the front to jump the car. And for some reason Geoff couldn't even get the car in neutral to push it out of the spot. Some man came to help, but he had a hybrid car, so he wasn't any good to us! I guess one good thing about a BMW is the battery is in the trunk, and we were able to jump it that way. Kind of good that you can jump the car either location!!
   Well that's pretty much the way I spend my weeks, cooking, shopping, movies, eating, and drinking!

   On a side note, we had a little scare yesterday. My Granny Liz ended up with an infection on her foot, and had to go into the hospital. We were hoping it didn't get into the bone, so she didn't lose her foot or anything like that. She did have to get her big toe removed. We pray that they got all the infected bone. They will give her an antibiotic just to make sure the infection clears. Please keep her in your prayers; for a fast recovery.
