My son received an Emergency Alert Notification about the expected Flooding on Thursday

  

My son is sitting here in North Park (a neighborhood in the city of San Diego, CA) with us because I called him earlier today and I invited him to stay here because he lives downtown in East Village.  Interestingly, his neighborhood wasn't really hit by the floods, last week, but the surrounding areas was walloped by the floods.  

Anyways, he received an Emergency Alert Notification telling him that they're expecting flooding downtown on February 1st and to be prepare to evacuate.

I am so glad that he accepted the invite and the first thing he said when he came through the door, "Mom thank you for inviting me."  I would have been worried about him until the rains had stopped.  

San Diego be careful out there!

San Diego: Evacuation Warning has been issued for the rains

Ahead of the anticipated rain, the City is issuing an evacuation warning for residents in the communities that just experienced significant flooding and areas historically prone to flood.

This is voluntary, but residents should prepare if/when evacuation does become necessary. pic.twitter.com/cDr09RMhMl

First thing, this morning, the National Weather Service San Diego, posted that we are going to have an atmospheric river which will cause heavy winds and heavy rains starting early on Thursday. If you don't absolutely have to be at work on Thusday/Friday...you may want to just call off from work!

Comparison Shop of the Digital Weekly Deals

  

With inflation being so high, we’ve got to do some online comparison of the weekly grocery ads.  I look at the Kroger ad (zip 45140), I logged into my Kroger account using the my same username/password as my Ralphs account (you’ll need to create a Kroger account) and I added the digital coupons to my Ralphs account.  If you’ve already clipped the Ralphs offer go back into the app or dotcom UNCLIP the duplicate Ralphs coupon. 

Some of the same items shown below are already the lower price at Food 4 Less.

The Comparison Shop is only a snapshot of the Weekly Digital Deals and not analysis of the entire ad. You still need to go through the ad for the best deals for you, your family and loved ones.

You can convert your Points Rewards Plus into Fuel Points

 

A reader, Growly, had said the following regarding my post there being only 4 rewards left:

I'm going to wait until 2/1 and redeem for two fuel rewards options.

I had waited so long to redeem my points because I was waiting for the $3, $5 or $10 Meat Reward offers to be replenished or at least bring back the Smuckers Jam or the Pasta Sauce.

When the Points Rewards Plus promotion restarts in March, and I earn some points, I'll know to keep up with my accumulated points, I can place two orders per every 7 days and when I see the meat offers just placed my order ASAP.

There are 168 hours in 7 days and you have wait until the 169th hour to place your order because their system literally wants you to wait the full 7 days or 168 hours.

I assume on the West Coast that we can place our order a 9 pm or 12 am EST. I will test it January 30th at 9 pm.

In San Diego, the trial size Aussie Miracle Moist Hair Care is a $1.12 in our stores, therefore, you'll pay $2.24 and after the rebate, your final price is $0.24 or $0.12 each which would be still rich for my blood UNLESS we've already planned an out of town trip or I've planned  like a little beauty basket for someone, otherwise, it's a hard pass for me.

San Diego: The Closing Walmart have 50% off Everything!!!🏃🏽‍♀️🔥

 

The closing Walmart stores, in San Diego county, locations are 2121 Imperial Ave. in San Diego and 605 Fletcher Parkway in El Cajon are having a closing sale and everything in the store is 50% off!!!!

I got the Rotel ($0.25/2 Ibotta), Hunt's tomato sauce and diced, the Nicorette ($15 on SB and Shopmium/Alexa),  Allegra allergy,  Reese's Caramel Big Cups (these were up by the registers and they are delicious - me and the cashier laughing about how addicting they are!), the Knorr Rice Cups and I think there's a 1,750 Knorr Rice Cup Fetch offer, limit 3.

There is plenty of parking.  The Imperial Ave Walmart is in the hood and the area looks desolate and lots of people like just standing around or whatever.  HOWEVER, I have never experienced any problems going to the this store. I've never seen a "smash & grab & run" situation...but I have seen this at the Ralphs in the "nice neighborhood".  So, don't let an area of town deter you from getting in on a great deal.

The sodas, meat, bread and frozen are gone. 

MOST OF THE SWAGBUCKS REBATES EXPIRE TODAY (1/27).

Good Luck!

There are only 4 Points Rewards Plus Offer Rewards Left!

Plotting and Planning

 

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!! HI, CHERYL!!!!!

San Diego is still recovering from the storm and floods we had on Monday.  There are still lots of roads, streets and freeways that are partially shut down or just shutdown.  They had partially shut down El Cajon Blvd to one lane and University is shutdown is certain areas.  In my area, 30th & El Cajon was flooded like waist deep.  Of course, right down the hill from us, Mission Valley always floods whenever it rains and when I say it floods, it floods like the roads must closed because the water gets up so high that no sane person would drive through it because your car's engine would get water in it and stall out.  Also, the Pacific Highway, in front of the Marine Corps Base always floods every time it rains, I don't know why CALTRANS do not fix that area of Pac Hwy.

In case of an emergency, make sure that you have a few bucks at home. I have a couple of backpacks ready to go if we need to roll out of here in case of an emergency.  With global warming, the storms are going to be intense and you have to be prepared because the insurance companies aren't going to help. Look at the state of Florida, the insurance companies have abandon the state or the rates are so high that insurers cannot afford the premiums.

Again, keep putting money into your Emergency Funds.

To my surprise, I finished the $5 Weekend Warrior on Thursday and the $3 Blizzard Bonus on Friday. I would have finish the Blizzard on Thursday but I ran into the problem with Poop-Pourri not working out for the Ibotta offer.  

I've already requested my funds from the Ibotta app and they are already in my PayPal account.  Next Thursday is February 1st so I need to start redeeming my points for the start of a new month! 

OMG, I had so much fun picking up the $4 Money Maker Sweet Tart Candies at Ralphs, as well as, the FREE+ $0.74 MM Skinny Girl Salad Dressings at Walmart!!!

There will be a Smart Source and Save coupon inserts in the newspapers or depending upon where you live, it may be delivered to your mailbox or out in your drive way or lawn.

It’s Saturday …enjoy your day! On Sundays, I take the day off from blogging.
