drowning in laundry detergent

Ha, so I'm REALLY drowning in liquid laundry detergent!  I saw on slickdeals.net last week that RiteAid was having a sale on Xtra liquid detergent.  It's on sale for $1.97 a bottle.  There are also coupons out there for $1 off any bottle of Xtra.  So I went on ebay and bought 20 coupons for $2 and went to RiteAid today and got 20 bottles of laundry detergent.  Although the bottles say they do 44 loads, I get more like 35 loads out of them.  So for $28 (cost of coupons and 20 bottles of detergent plus tax) I'll have enough detergent to do 700 loads of laundry at roughly .04 per load.  On average we do about 4 loads per week.  I won't have to buy laundry detergent for at least 3 1/2 years.  lol   LOVE IT!

I finally got around to making that sugar free lemon cheesecake today.  I also made a sugar free lemon curd to put over the cheesecake.  I tasted the lemon curd after it was done and I honestly could not tell it wasn't made with real sugar.  I used a mixture of splenda and erythritol.  The cheesecake is still cooling, so I haven't had a chance to taste it yet.   I hate eating cheesecake when it hasn't had sufficient time to cool properly.  The texture is all wrong if you eat it too soon.  I think I'll try a slice tomorrow after lunch. 

Well it's time to put my kiddos to bed.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend. ♥
