Thrifty Thursday

[bmiltimore]

Good morning and Happy Thursday! Today is going to be THRIFTY THURSDAY for me! I am going
to chant all day long, “I will not go shopping, I will not go shopping”

I am going to start this month off right and stay away from “deals”

I even went through all my coupons to trade last night and sent them off just to get them out of the house.
That way I won’t be tempted to spend. I’m going to see if I can wait until next week to do any grocery
shopping.

I went to the dentist this morning and got a free toothbrush, toothpaste and floss! Luckily my insurance
paid for my entire visit.

I did buy gas this morning, but that is a necessity.

Plans for today:

Work 7am-4pm
Make Dinner
Pack Lunches
Do some housecleaning

B - Yogurt, Coffee, Cereal
L - Spag & Meatballs
D - Mac & Cheese and Hotdogs??? (Forgot to defrost something)

Definitely NOT thrifty for me today. On the way to the gas shop, which now I realize I should not have taken on, I got stopped by the police at a motor vehicle checkpoint. Imagine my surprise when the officer kindly informs me that my vehicle is UNREGISTERED, and has been since February!!!! Apparently, when we bought the van and changed over the tags in November, they were due again in Feb, they must have sent me the paperwork with the OLD CAR on it, and I threw it away. Luckily they did not tow my car, because I had all the kids with me. I told the officer this was not the norm for me, he was very nice, told me he would help me get the charges changed in court. I took my fanny right to motor vehicle and got legal again. Total cost? Ticket: $44.00 Motor Vehicle registration: $61.00. The gas mystery shop money will now pay my ticket.

Finished that, then went to Applebee's for another mystery shop for lunch. I was supposed to take DD2 to the doctor for her 3rd Hepatitis b shot, but rescheduled for tomorrow. What a day....

So far I have:

Broken the law
made bed
fed and changed baby
did 2 mystery shops (gas and lunch)
went to motor vehicle
dishes
mailed ebay stuff

I would like to accomplish today:

general pickup of livingroom
take clothes to the camper
plan dinner
dust bedroom
take down laundry
ice cream mystery shop after 6

I think I need a mystery shopping break this month. I'm not going to take as many jobs, also because I am going away. Once the girls are back in school, things will calm down around here.

Breakfast: McDonalds hotcakes and sausage
Lunch: Applebees chicken fajita rollup and house salad
Dinner: ????

Have a frugal day!
