Frugal Friday

**mustang80** · 06-07-2002, 07:25 AM

Good morning ladies! Not very frugal today, I'm going food shopping. I have coupons, etc. so hopefully I'll do pretty well. DD1 is on half days now, so she will be home around 1:00. I can't stand the arguing. If this continues, they won't live past June 15. We need to lay the law down before this goes on all summer

General pickup
Laundry *STARTED
feed baby
make bed
vacuum and dust
sweep floors

Hair, face and shoes

That's about it. Need to map out yard sales for tomorrow with DH. Have a great weekend!!

Okay, I'm making it Frugal Friday as well! I took a personal day today because if I don't use it, I lose it, and I WANTED it! So, today I am:
stripping dh and my bed and dd crib and washing and remaking them
washing, drying (line), and putting away dh, dd, and my clothes
sweeping and vacuuming the whole house
to bank to deposit dh paycheck
to the offices of the camp I teach at in the summer to fill out tax paperwork
to ShopRite (I NEVER make shopping trips except for Sundays...however, there are some REALLY good sales this week and I got the coupons through trades yesterday and I want to pick up the items before the sales change...I will add this total to my June goal total, though)
Dust (I haven't dusted in so long, you can write on my furniture...it's disgusting!)
wrap gifts (We have a b-day party for neice and nephew tonight. I have to wrap their gifts.)

I think that's about it. Oh, I am also going to update my upc list. I cut them out throughout the week and update them on the weekends, but I really just want to hang out with dh and dd this weekend, not be working.

Not too frugal for me...well a little frugal...half and half..LOL

First had to send DH to the urologist because he has been having pains...(just had a vasectomy bout a year ago....THAT kind of pain

) Turns out to just be a pulled groin muscle (whew!)

Then I made him go grocery shopping with me....I have to do that everyonce in a while...just to give him a reality check on how much it can cost to feed himself four boys and two dogs.....He asked me once did I have some sort of drug habit and if thats what I was doing with all the money! And he keeps telling me "LOOK! just feed us soup and sandwiches...we cant AFFFORD all this stuff you are buying..." SO I had to take him by his little hand...lead him thru the aisles and show him...how I can feed my family good hearty nutritous meals for the same cost of buying condensed soup and sandwich makings for 6 people! *sigh* men are so dense...he'll forget it in a month..and we will have to go thru this all over again.

actually it dint take him that long...cause as soon as we left the grocery store...he decides we need lunch...lets the kids pick...and blows 20 bucks on McDs!!
LMAO!!!
Then we spent the evening at my nephews graduation party...so free dinner (yeay)..plus I got alot of the leftovers to bring home....mac and cheese for dinner here all week! LOL

all in all ...a completely exhausting...but completely enjoyable day
