Happy Tightwad Tuesday! I need to get to work but I thought I would post first. Today is a pretty boring
day for me:

Work 7am-4pm {DONE}
Pick Up Dry-cleaning {Oops..forgot!}
Make Dinner
Pack Lunches
Finish Laundry {DONE}

My laundry is almost done! Whew! We had a lot after our trip. Lots of towels!!

I wish I had free stamps because I could send out a ton of coupons! I have a bunch of extras–but it costs
too much to mail them out! I don’t even have to buy newspapers on Sunday’s because people give me
their inserts which is more than I need. So at least I can curb that spending.

I was going to go to Vons and Ralph’s today to get “deals” but I am stopping myself because I don’t
NEED any of it! LOL I really need to learn to quit shopping–even when it is a bargain.

I’m going to try and put my “couponing” energy into my housecleaning instead!

B - Coffee, Yogurt, Cereal
L - Bologna sandwich, Cheese Nips
D - BBQ Chicken, Baked Potatoes, Zucchini

My list for the day:
-sweep
-mop
-make bed
-go looking for carpet and a new couch
-grocery shop
-pick-up
-vacuum
-do all laundry
-take garbage out

Hi Pam! Glad you joined in!

[aylasmommy]

Wow! This is one of the busiest day's I've had in a while..
(btw Betsy(if your reading this) when I send you your envy I'll add a stamp to it too...and you can either send me some if you have what you know I use or use it to send to someone else)

just wanted to add another post since this day derseves two posts

My mom and sister came! Surprised me!! They brought lots of coupons, some money, and new CUTE clothes from Gymborree! Gosh i feel spoiled!
Then Ayla got 20$ for her birthday, in the mail, from a relative, so I'll get her something neat..

Well too bad my house was a DISASTER when they came ! Cheerios ALL over the floor...clean clothes in a pile on the floor waiting to get put away

But i managed to get the kitchen looking good, and the living room floor picked up, her clothes put away, washed two loads of dishes, three loads of laundry, did two of my three workouts, took her for a walk,
Organized a LOT of coupons after cutting them all out of the inserts,
I even showered and did my makeup!

All this and dealing with her stubborness that SHE had to Feed HER self..so into the bathroom we went so she wouldn't do much damage..and called Longs United Rebates and Rite Aid (made a fool out of myself there..because they had no option to press for what I needed!

Oh and I went to Target to buy my cousin a bridal shower gift..I ended up getting her (decorative) shower curtain rings How fitting!!
(and some decortative soap that matched the theme)

I STILL need to put away lots of coupons, do my step aerobics workout (i'll do a shorter version this time) mop kitchen floor, put away dishes, and put away our clean clothes, find my thank you notes, write thank you notes...ahh and then relax at 11:30 to watch Ellimidate It's our favorite!!

[bmiltimore]

Of course I'm reading...I am addicted to this site! LOL

Yes, include a stamped envy and I'll stuff it and return it to you. Whenever I see certain coupons now, I put them aside for you!

While I'm here...I'll continue my Tuesday post:

I finished my chores (made dinner & packed lunches)

I also filled, ran and unloaded dishwasher
Cleaned both bathrooms
Went to Ralph's & got rainchecks for Ziploc items
Filled truck with gas
Sorted & filed coupons

I feel so productive!

[aylasmommy]

betsy! your post made me smile

I feel productive today too
Not that I'm not on other days..just somehow I had tons of energy today!

(I wish I'd known that having a child meant never having a bowl of cereal in peace again! This is driving me insane!)

[bmiltimore]

I smile everytime I see your avatar!

Ok, ok...I am going to bed now.

I wish I could chat and surf all night long!
