So I was last here on Friday night... ended up getting food out AGAIN $5.41. Saturday went garage-saling and foudn just a few things... Duplo blocks in a crate, talked down to $4 from $5... also a Lego table, not very large and some Legos to go in it for $2.50 TADA! Happy mommalita here. I will put this away until Joshua is a bit older, perhaps Christmas or his next birthday, 3 weeks before Christmas. I've been buying him toys, and honestly he needs less than he has, but to have the current goodies switched from time to time to help in the boredom department. I think a savings bond and garage sale goodies will make more sense (cents?!) at this tender age. Spent what for me is a lot on groceries, but didn't eat or drink out at all. I comparison priced and went to a Super WalMart the next city over to get price matches from my usual stores. Let Wally pay for me to cherry pick! I only do this a couple times a year, and always spend less than $100, and normally when no one store has enough specials to justify a drive. Spent Sunday 4-10:30 pm watching the little Mr. Wonderful, and played at making pix with sidewalk chalk FAR from Rite-Aid around Easter time. Watered the lawn where we're trying to grow lawn from seed, and Josh thought it was super. Cooled him off, and he ran around with the dog enough to exhaust himself. Bathtime, then, guess you know him well, The Aristocats. Twice in a row. So glad I found that reasonably priced on Ebay. Trying to encourage Josh to have fun with Nana without our usual shopping or going out to eat. More my issues than his I guess... he didn't want to go home again.
Used my JCPenney coupon ($10) to buy a pair of sterling silver earrings that were on sale. The sale price was $10, and they didn't even charge me tax! Happy camper. Bought a pretzel and drink, but that was for a mystery shop, so I'll be reimbursed. Tried to do this shop Saturday,but unintentionally went outside the time guidelines, so did it again today. Saturday took advantage of time alone to go to a movie, using a pass and buying only the Regal Cinema's Reel Time package, designed for kids with a small drink, a bit of popcorn, and a snack-sized candy. At $4.50 a better deal than anything else offered at the consession stand,and just right for me...
