I wrote a movie review! Woo hoo!
You can find it here, where I occasionally guest post because the lady that runs that blog has seen me naked and figures I owe her recompense.
Or something like that.
You must be lost.

Yes... This Post Has Tomatoes
First things first.[1] The light in the oven went out about 20 minutes after we installed the oven. This was like 8 years ago or so. I've never really thought having a light in the oven was a big deal, so never replaced it.
Last night the light bulb in Sara's Hello Kitty lamp went *pop* and Stephanie went to the light bulb stash[2] to find a replacement. She chose the package that had a bulb that looked like the one she was replacing.
Stephanie: "Huh. Package says it's an appliance bulb."
Me: "Ovens too?"
Stephanie: "Refrigerators and ovens."
Me: "Sweet. Guess I'll change the bulb then."
She proceeded to choose another bulb and I proceeded to turn changing an oven light bulb into a challenge. As about 2.6% of you might already know, these bulbs are protected by a thick chunk of glass held in place by the most high tech means possible.
It's a wire clip that not only pops off pretty easy, but also comes completely off falling into the racks below. The glass chunk then can fall completely unsupported on to the light bulb itself tearing the bulb from it's screw piece and shattering it into a dozen pieces. I can only assume it's designed to to do this as that is what happened to me.
Well, the filament and mount were still solidly connected to the bottom of the bulb so I thought to just use that to unscrew it.[3] FYI folks, ovens are designed for the light to turn on when the door opens. Now I needed tools...
Anyhow, the bulb got changed, there were no injuries, and I didn't feel like it so I still need to vacuum the oven.
On to the REAL post!
My wife told me I was ready to graduate to the next level of couponing. I had promised her about 6 years ago I'd start helping and she called me on it Tuesday.
My journey was to take me to Dollar General, Target and Walgreens.[4]
At Dollar General I was on a recon mission. I can do recon.
Stephanie: "Find the Head & Shoulders. If they have the 8-ish oz., take pictures, buy two. Use the coupon."
