Thrifty Thursday

justjenn · 09-05-2002, 06:42 AM

Good Morning! Brrrrrrr....it is a really cool morning this morning. I can sure feel fall in the air!

Not much money spent here. Spent a total of $6 this morning for dh's tobacco, and gas. So, not too bad.

I didn't feel too good yesterday, although it was my day off, so I didn't get a whole lot done. Now, I have to be at work 4 hours early, so maybe I can get some housework done before I leave.

My list:
sweep
mop
vacuum
dishes
menu
grocery list
pick up
hang out laundry
bring laundry in

Good morning! I wish it would hurry up and get cold here. I hate this hot weather!!!

My List:
Make lunches
Make beds
Wash clothes
Dry clothes
Put up dishes
Fold laundry

Go to work!
Attend DS#1 football game and as soon as it is over boogie to another town about 30 minutes away to watch DS#2's baseball game. I hate when they have games on the same night!!!

Will not be frugal for me because we will be eating out of the concession stands! UGH!!!

Good morning!! I'm off to clean my last house for the week, then come home and clean mine. I have 2 mystery shops this evening, so the day is full.
Have a good one!!!!

Good morning everyone. Today I'm off to do some shopping (mostly window) by myself to have some "me" time. So I won't be doing a lot but having some fun.

Hope you all have a great day!!

Okay, today was the first day of school

and I've been awake since 5:00 a.m. DD1 caught the bus at 6:42 a.m.

After DD2 left at 7:20, MIL and I went to breakfast and then cleaned our church. I volunteered us, and we only should have to do it 2 months per year. It makes me feel like I'm giving something back. Came home to my NJ Saver rebate in the mailbox

I'm gonna plop that baby right on my credit card-debt reduction you know! I'm waiting for my mom now so we can go to the Amish Farm market for our free with coupons stuff (we're on their mailing list). Then tonight, off to work! I hope I don't fall asleep at work-lol. Tomorrow I get to do it all over again....

Got some blood tests for diabetes this morning.
Went to the thrift shop near my place and found some nice jeans for me and a skirt. I also found a desk lamp for my son and I'm so happy because I found a computor desk in very good condition worth at least 200 $ but I paid 20 $!

Well, got to pick up Patrick(almost 5) for a dr. follow-up for swollen lymph nodes at 3h00 pm. I hope it's nothing bad...
