I needed to do a mystery shop today and ds#2 had several NEEDS. So I
grabbed him after school and we headed off to Springfield.
I got all the guys pants for recital at the Salvation Army (thank
goodness) for about $3.50 each.
Then we went to Arby's to eat- over $13 just for the two of us! I
nearly fainted and so did my son. Can you tell we don't eat fast
food much?
I did my mystery shop while ds waited in the car, then we headed to
Shop-Ko and Walgreens for his needed items. Jeans on sale- $15.99
(they didn't have any in his size at the SA, but I still only bought
him ONE pair) Hoping to find him some at yard sales next weekend-
and praying he doesn't grow again for a bit. Scientific calculator-
$17.99 He was really nice about it and got one of the less expensive
ones- does a perfectly adequate job according to him.
Stink
water - OH! I mean, men's cologne. Ds insists this is a NEED- and
at age 16 with his first girl friend, I suppose it is- $5.99
Deodorant - $1.99 Sneakers $11.99 (again on sale)
Then we went grocery shopping. Thankfully I had a bunch of freebie
coupons for Cubs- so the total for this was bearable.
