Thrifty Tuesday

**justjenn** · 08-06-2002, 06:46 AM

Good morning everyone! It is a beautiful, bright morning here, and I can't believe I am out of the bed!

Ihave the next 3 days off, so I wanted to get an early start on my much-needed housework. Have to get off the computer to get it started, of course.

Today won't be very frugal, but everything bought will be a need. Dh paid for his uniforms, and we are going to get our carpet this evening. We will probably stop at WM and get some pet food, too.

I am also going to tackle the garage, and declutter it.

My to do's:
sweep
mop
pick up
wash dishes
dust furniture
clean mirror
clean garage
wash clothes

Good morning! Hopefully a slow day here. I've been soooo busy!We're getting read to go camping, so I really need to start packing the camper with non-perishables and supplies. I put my clothes in there already, but still need underwear, socks, etc. Need everything for DD's

I really screwed up my mystery shops last week and went to the wrong Friendly's, so I need to do that again this morning, only the CORRECT one! I'm trying to take a bit of a break from mystery shopping, as it's getting to be too much. Once the kids are back in school, it will be a little easier.

Dishes *DONE
Breakfast mystery shop
Laundry *STARTED
straighten up living room
DD's-chores
clean bathroom
make bed
file coupons/weed out expireds
take some stuff to the camper
send film away
put away birthday gifts

Breakfast: mystery shop
Lunch: ham and cheese
Dinner: chicken in the crockpot

Have a great day-the weather here is BEAUTIFUL! No more HEAT!

Good morning! Today is Tired Tuesday for me!

I am very sleepy and haven’t had any coffee yet.

Today I was going to go buy “deals” at the grocery store but I am stopping myself. None of the items are
“needs” so I am going to wait. I was going to buy 6 boxes of cereal but then I realized I have about 10
boxes at home already and it is only DH and me! LOL I do not need more cereal.

I also have enough deodorant to make an army smell good! LOL

Today I will:

Work 7am - 4pm
Cook dinner
Wash dishes
Pack lunches
Relax!!!!

L - Meatloaf sandwich, peach cobbler
D - Stroganoff (didn’t make last night)
