I forgot yesterday I rescued a shelving unit from the trash. Will put it in the play room when it gets organized.

When I went to the grocery today they were still running the b1g1f on Body for Life meal bars so I ended up getting 9 meal bars for $.39 total instead of 5 free. I picked up 2 free Suave shampoos for the donation box. The kids will be happy I got a box of Eggo toaster swirlz for $.50 and the register spit out another coupon so I'll go back and get another box for $.50 tomorrow. I found steak knives in the clearance bin so now I have 8 new steak knives for $3.96.

I stopped at a garage sale on the way to the store and found a lidded picnic basket for $1.00, two handled large basket for $1.00, 6 spools of ribbon for $1.50, 2 bags of hair bows & bands for $1.50, 3 shirts 1 shorts 1 capri jeans for DD1 for $1.25, and a playdoh BBQ set for $1.00. Stopped at Goodwill because I ruined my good jeans on Wednesday when I fell wripping the knees. I found 2 pair of petite jeans for $9 for me, and 4 pairs of shorts for DD2 for $7. The Goodwill stores in my area have raised their prices and can't compete with garage sales.
