Frugal Friday

**mustang80** · 11-15-2002, 06:53 AM

Not frugal for me. I'm going Christmas shopping. Penneys is having a huge one day sale, and the preview day is today. I have a coupon for $10.00 off/$50.00 purchase and one for $15.00 off/$75.00 purchase. I need to shop for DD's and the clothes are on sale.

DH is not coming home after work, he's still trying to finish the side job he started last weekend. After school DD is helping the band director get together the candle orders, and then I will pick up her and the candles.

Looks like I'm a mall rat for today-lol. Just me and Courtney. Should be nice. I never go there with her alone, usually SIL and I meet, but my nephew always wants to go with me, and I never get any shopping done because I have to watch him.

Dishes
straighten up
feed and dress Courtney
pack diaper bag
get ready
SHOPPING!
plan something for dinner-no McD's-DD2 is doing so well with her points.

Have a great day!

Today is not off to a great start.It was one of those mornings where the kids & dh got on my nerves & I was glad to see everyone just go.

To do: dishes,laundry,clean bathroom,clean kitchen cabinets, cook dinner,drive son to dance and go to bed. In between that stuff I am going to play on the Playstation 2 and have more computer time. That'll make me feel better.

Count me in for going to the mall too! I have lots on my list
so I hope I can find what I'm looking for.

DH & I are going to lunch at a mexican restaurant while we
are out shopping so today is like a real treat!

First I need to stop by the bank & pay the housenote & then I'll
head out.

It's supposed to be rainy here but that is going to bring in the
cold weather.

When I get home I need to start the chores. I hope I'm not
too tired to do them!

Today should be a generally frugal day. The only spent was on milk, and we get that for $1.99 a gallon. Today is my first day of work, so hopefully I will bring in some money. I am a waitress, and have to go through some training. Not sure if I'll make any $$, but thats ok. I am just grateful that I am working again!

My plans once I get home are pretty laid back. Just going to do some cleaning. Make my family a nice dinner, and list some items on ebay. Their is a big storm coming my way, so I might go out and stock up on some groceries before it hits.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning! TGIF!!! I need some time away from work!

Last night I got a lot done. I made dinner (crockpot chicken, mashed taters & green beans), baked brownies, washed all the dishes, vacuumed the kitchen and entry way floors, swiffered the floors, cleaned both toilets, and dusted the living room. Then I clipped coupons. DH and I watched Survivor and then I went to bed.

Today the plan is:

Work 7-4

Go to Costco with DH
Eat dinner at Costco (cheap pizza or hotdog)
Put on jammies
RELAX!

Tomorrow I am baby sitting Maya in the morning and then meeting my sister in the afternoon to go to a book signing for Marilu Henner’s new Holiday Cookbook.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Good luck Kelly!! You'll do great!

Today I am feeling better.

Dave and I are going to take Tyler to the Zoo. I think he deserves it since he was sick, then putting up with me being sick... we've been pretty cooped up.
