Woo hoo way to go Carol!!! You make us proud!

Vicki I already did the happy dance for you on WFD? but I'll gladly do it here too. Great news!


Frugal thing today--went to Catos to check out the clearance since they're getting ready to move to the new shopping center and they had told me to come the week before the move (it is) for even more mark downs. I waited too long and most items are gone. Ah well-THAT was frugal right?

Eckerd's has c/o's in their ad for Nuitresse haircolor @ $2.99...used my $4.00 c/o (THANKS Autumnmum!!) .....also bought Nature Made vitamins B1G1F...for $3.79 (2 bottles) minus my $1.00 c/o........and skipped out of the store with my 2 boxes of haircolor and 2 bottles of vitamins for a total of 77 Cents! Yea!!!
............NOW, I just have to enter my codes from those bottles into my "Wellness Awards" account .....and I should have enough points to claim my $7.00 c/o from them!

Bettdev, I can just see you skipping out of the store! What a silly picture. Keep the inner child!!!

Vjumpstart, What a wonderful answer to prayer! How was your weekend away? I meant to ask earlier.

We found 14 large yellow onions and 2 small today!! 2 of them had a little road burn, so I used those for dinner (of course I cut of the bad parts). I chopped up a few and froze them in 1/2 cup amounts.

Is anyone interested in my list of frugal hints I'm sharing with the tv show? If so, I can post them, and if anyone wants to add to it, let me know! I'm probably using some of everyones anyway.

Carol

I knit dishcloths and the yarn I use is 100 percent cotton, sugar and cream brand (I think). They last forever and are wonderful, and if anyone wants the pattern, you can PM me, I'll send it to you.
This is the only thing I knit.
