I'm back!

I went to the doctor last week. I have been waking in the night with unbearable pain in my hips and thighs for about a month. I assumed I had "restless leg syndrome" since the commercials described it the same. LOL.
No I do not have it. However it is worse. I will have to have both hips replaced! Of course we will be trying all the latest treatments to put this off as long as we can as I am so "young" (at least when it comes to hip replacement). I had my first full nights sleep last Sunday. It has been at least 3 months (maybe more) that I have slept through the night.
The new medication is not a pain pill as I have been taking Darvocet and was still in pain. It is what is called an NSAID. I am hoping it continues to work.
Though I am sleeping through the night I am still in a lot of pain. I took some time away from my computor because even sitting is painful. It's probably the chair. I am trying to figure a laptop into our finances. I can then sit in my recliner which I have less pain using. I don't have a fairy godmother to buy me one so I will continue here until the pain is too much.
Anyway - last week I did not shop. Today I did go out for the "weekly needs" and sale items. I did get some good deals. Also one day this week I stopped at Walgreens and got some deals too.

Strawberry Deals

Thank you, to Crystal, over at  http://www.thethriftymama.com/ I got a "heads up" on 16 oz packages of strawberries at Aldi for 99¢. I will say I was expecting to find "clearance" strawberries , but no way! They had just brought them in the store and they are so fresh! Only had 2 berries that were not good. I have washed and cut the tops off them all. They are now on trays in the freezer. Once frozen I will transfer them to bags.
 I looked at strawberries this weekend while doing my regular shopping at a local supermarket. The same size were going for $3.68!

Stopped by Walgreens on my way home yesterday for a couple good deals.

I got the Dawn (reg price $1.99) for 49¢ each and the razors (reg price $6.99) for 99¢.

Total value $10.97 > I paid $1.97

I have an auction going on ebay right now for a retired Wilton Mickey Mouse cake pan. You can link up here if you want to check it out.
