    Default a few things to make you smile....

    Ok a few things I have been wanting to share...

    The first, my bread maker died a few months ago and I have been waiting to have the money to get a new one. I use it just for the dough cycle. I went to a yardsale the other weekend and got one for a quarter!!! A hitachi perfectly working breadmaker

    Second, I love the BK Mocha Joes which are $2.19 a cup....iced coffee. I went to Sam's and found a cappicino mix that can be made into an iced version. It was 6.48 for 71 servings It tastes just as good and I don't have to drive to go get it

    And third, the funniest to me, I got this purse from a friend. She bought it on vacation when she thought of me And the best part is that I got it for free..heehee. I love it because it has dividers inside. I use it for the cash envelope system and it reminds me to stick to my goals.

    I love the purse! That was nice of your friend to think of you! Great find on the breadmaker and 71 packs for $6.48, that is great!!! That's like a little more than 9 cents each!!(If my calculating is correct)

    Way to go on the bread machine. I only use mine to make the dough. I saw on at goodwill for 3.00 brand new with stickers and really thought hard about buying it. Wish I had.

    Love the bag too, nice friend.
