Good morning ladies! I'm up and at 'em early again-that DD leaving for the bus stop at 6:30-UGH! Today I have to run errands again, but hope to be productive.

Argue with Ped about bill I got from them-I have an HMO and they are balance billing me-I don't think so....

*DONE
Buy fruit and veges at the wholesale market *DONE
Wonder bread thrift store to stock up *DONE
Kmart-buy new blind for DD's room
take DH shirts to get printed for fall softball league

Happy Friday!

Today we have a potluck lunch at work (I got to use my GS crock pot!)

I went to Costco last night and soent $190!!!

But I bought TONS of meat. I got a huge thing of pork chops, steak, stew meat and ground beef. I plan to do a lot of cooking this weekend before I leave for my business trip next Tuesday.

I am looking forward to going to GS's tomorrow morning. I am ready to find some bargains!!!

Hope you all have a great day!

Not a very frugal day for me. You'd think the rainy weather would
have kept me in but I had errands I HAD to run.

Have been gone about 7 hrs straight so I am tired now.

Will take it easy the rest of the day/evening but will make myself
do a load of clothes & file the mountain of papers on my desk!

B = toast, cheese, water
L = sandwich, chips, Dr Pepper
D = broiled shrimp, potato salad, bread

Have a good weekend everyone!

I worked until 1:15 so I put a chicken in the Crock Pot before I left. I also did some laundry, vacuumed, cleaned the cat box and walked Gypsy twice. I am bushed and it's only 4 p.m.!
