Me and mom stopped in to have breakfast at
McDonalds.
Had 2 sausage bagel sandwiches
and shared a small drink for $3.49.
Used a buy 1 get 1 free coupon that came
out in Wednesday paper ads with the Giant
Eagle flier.
I searched Walmart for a flannel jacket with
hood for Tony and turned up nothing.
I did check into the Malt-O-Meal cereal.
While they carried many varieties of this
brand they DID NOT have the chocolate
frosted flakes or the chocolate
spooners flavor of cereal.
If they did it would have been around $4.50
minus the $2.00 coupon would have made it $2.50.
While there I also checked to see if they
had the double stuffed golden oreo cookies
and they DID! So I used my free coupon on those.
I noticed Walmart is putting out Spring items.
I saw packages of vegetable and flower seeds
for .20 cents and picked up quite a few.
Don't know that I will use them all this year
but will be ready in the Spring.
-California Wonder Pepper
-Jalapeno Pepper
-Hungarian Hot Yellow Wax Pepper
-Grand Bell Mix Pepper
-Green Arrow Pea
-Cherokee Wax (Yellow Bush)Garden Bean
-Early Scarlet Globe Radish
-Early Golden Acre Cabbage
-Iceberg Lettuce
-Poinsett 76 Cucumber
-Grey Zucchini Squash
-Beefsteak Tomato
-Large Red Cherry Tomato
-Delicious Tomato
-White Lisbon Bunching Onion
-Sweet Basil
-Long Island Mammoth Dill
-Moss Curled Parsley
-Italian Parsley
-Flying Saucers Morning Glory
Mom bought me some Friskies party mix cat treats
at Walmart.
They were $1.42.
And I had 2 buy 1 get 1 free coupons.
So for 4 bags it was $2.84 or .71 cents each.
----------------------------------
Next we stopped by Target.
Still did not find a flannel jacket.
Don't know why stores this time of year
feel the need to start putting out Spring
and Summer items but that's about all I found!!
From Summer dresses to swimsuits to shorts!!
Come on now has anyone looked outside to see
all the snow on the ground???
This can't be good business for them at the moment.
I keep reading about many deals people are
able to get at Target. One day I will try
to match coupons to sales and to their store
coupons to see what I am able to save at
that store. They do carry quite a bit of food
on shelves and in freezer or refrigerated cases!!
------------------------------------
My last stop of the day was to the thrift
store on Indianola. Still no flannel jackets
with hoods. I'm about to give up on those things!!
Here are my bargains I found while there:
For about the past year we have been wanting
a water cooler. They run around $100 on up.
I even priced them at Walmart today at over
$100. Craigslist people want at least $50
for one.
Today I found one for $12.12!!
I plugged it in and it seems to work.
So lets hope it does for that price!!
Hoping to get the kids to drink more
water during the Summer months.
Got Christopher a pair of jeans for .99 cents
2 boxes of Easter egg kits.
1 turns eggs into vehicles
and the other has glitter eggs.
.50 cents each
Found kitty a cat brush for .50 cents
She needs to be brushed out as black
cat hair and light gray carpet and light
colored furniture don't go together!
And lastly because I seem to be experiencing
cabin fever, a cute sunflower bird feeder for .90 cents
I'm so ready for Spring can't ya tell with me
buying bird feeders and seeds for the garden???

MAIL CALL
Here are some things I received this week:
------------------------------------
My store experience for today:
I was in line at the service counter at Meijer.
In walks a foreign couple that looked to be returning
something. They asked an employee where they should go.
They pointed to the line and said to go stand next to
that girl. That girl being me. The foreign lady took,
"stand next me", pretty seriously. When I was next up
to the service counter, the foreign lady walked up to the
counter with me and stood beside me.
I thought, "what the?"
I felt a little uncomfortable as she stood directly
next to me like she was family or something.
I think I felt her breath on my shoulder a couple times!
But I knew she didn't understand and just giggled a little
and went about my business. She waited patiently beside
me until it was her turn though.

They were priced at $3.99, but now they’re on clearance for $3.19. Here’s how to score these bonus packs for just $0.44!

More on the story about the $20 late fee
the Ohio BMV is charging you if you are more than
7 days late renewing your tags or license:
NBC4
And if they don't fix this scheme I will have another
$20 late fee on a car trailer that I forgot was in
my name and didn't think to renew now because it
is a Summer time trailer.
Thank goodness we were able to get historical
plates on our Trans Am because normally
we would wait until Spring or Summer to renew
them since the car was not driven over the Fall
and Winter Season.
I am on the side of most of those
who made comments at the bottom of
the article.
They say if they do away with late fees
they might increase vehicle registration fees!
What the heck is next. Are they going to
charge us for the air we breath???
Some people don't see the fee as a problem
and feel that people are responsible to
pay their bills on time. Sure that is fine, BUT
we are in a recession for starters with many people
having hard times. Second they should have sent
out notices to all registered drivers about this
new late fee. I'd say 99.9% of people were completely
unaware of it like myself. Sneaky way to get at your
hard earned money huh?
For those thinking about historical plates
you pay a one time fee and it is good for
50 years!! But there are stipulations as
to where and when you can drive the vehicle
with those on them.
