    Default My somewhat frugal weekend!

    Well- me and my hubby decided to quit smoking by ways of hypnosis. It cost us $100 for both of us to attend. They had a raffle for those in attendance for the self hypnosis- my hubby won the kit estimated at $80 value! We also went to a local reptile show (it only costed $10 for all of us to go)- it was a nice cheap way to see a ton of reptiles- which both of my girls love. They had a raffle going on and I won the raffle! It is a garden statue of frogs- one is sitting in a chair and the other is lying under an umbrella- the lady told me that it retails for $120! I am planning on giving it to my mom for Christmas! So we did spend quite a bit of money- but me and hubby have not smoked since we left there- so we will be saving more money!

    Karma was really in full force over the weekend! Congrats!
    My father stopped smoking the same way, and it's been over 20 years.

    If it will help you stop smoking it was a bargain at any price. Stay away from the tobacco.... Sounds like you had a nice time too so that's worth a lot. Congrats on being so lucky

    Congratulations on your winnings......But most of all I solute you for quitting smoking...I just quit 4 months ago after smoking 2 to 3 packs a day for almost 27yrs...I don't hear my boys telling me that they can't breath or that I'm killing them or myself anymore..I'm not coughing up any more lungs like I use to everyday.. I'm also saving myself $175.00 a month I bought my ciggs online if I didn't buy them online I would be spending over $300.00 a month....I'm so happy that I finally conquered my addiction!!!!!!
