Yikes, I did not realize that All You was going up in price! I just ordered a subscription through my DS's school, 18 issues for $24, so it looks like that was a good move. I know I save more than $1.50 in the coupons I get from there, so it does pay for itself.

Just got back from grocery shopping. I am going to use up some grilled chicken breasts in Mexican Chicken Soup and the rest in Chicken Lo Mein tonight. I don't usually make 2 dinners but I WANT SOUP!!!!! That is a slow cooker dish anyway, so the prep will really happen now, and I'll have it to enjoy later.

I did splurge at the store; they had No Nonsense Boot Socks for $2 a pair and I love the "ragg" type sock. I've only been able to find them in wool lately, and I wanted cotton socks. So I got 5 pairs of these--cleaned them out of the color I like the best. Now it's time to clean out my sock drawer, take all the worn out ones out of there and put them in the "dustrag bag." Old socks are great for slipping over your hand to use as a dustrag, especially for doing things like ceiling fans.

This afternoon Big DS has a cross-country meet so I am going to pack an old lunchbox with snacks and cold drinks for me and the other kids, as well as something Big DS can snack on after his race. Better to bring that with me than give in to the temptation of the 7-11 we have to pass on the way!
