For those of you that go to Goodwill and come home empty handed, you can take Zac with you next time, I guarantee you won't leave empty handed! He loves the little bin at our Goodwill with the little toys, the little animal figures, and the matchbox cars! Than there is the stupid McD's happy meal toys, 50 cents!

Kathy sorry the cat dug up your plants, dang cat!

Ellen, congrats to you and your girls for them having and keeping jobs! My older two seem to think they should run the places they work, and can't keep jobs!(sigh)

Lisa and Mish, a flash drive? Oh my gosh! I wish the computers would go back to using the floppy disks, that would eliminate the need for a flash drive! But, I know what you mean by a low income area, that is basically what we are in also, although, i think many places at the time are low income!

Lee, eggs for $1 a dozen! I wish I could find a deal like that, we go through so many eggs.

Frugal, last night we had a clean out the fridge night for supper. There is still more in there for tonight. I am about out of soda, was going to stop after soccer practices last night, but, it was raining too hard, so now I will have to make a run today.(yuck)

My accidental frugal yesterday was a loaf of bread. I bought some frozen loaves. I got one out yesterday morning to bake with supper. And it didn't rise in time for supper. But, when we got home from practice last night it was ready, so I popped it in the oven, and everyone had an evening snack of bread, DH made a sandwich. I am thinking this would be a good idea for this winter and keeping the heat turned down before bedtime, as the oven heats up the home.

I will see what today's frugals will be.
