6-10-10

Yesterday we went and saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid
at the theater. I know you are not supposed
to bring food or drinks into the theater
but the whole idea of a $1.50 theater is
to save you money. I cannot afford $5
a popcorn for everyone PLUS drinks.
Everyone can make fun of my large purse
but ya know it sure suits me well.
I managed to get four 20 ounce bottles
of pop along with 2 small bags of
chips in there. Total cost of $5.22
from Speedway. I used a $1.00 off
two 20 ounces of Dr. Pepper.
I still have a bunch of those coupons
and they do come in handy!
I'm telling ya, scope out Speedway for coupons
during the Summer months! I found
more coupons for .35 cents off
Skittles or Starburst. I can take
them over to Kroger and get those
coupons doubled to .70 cents off
probably making those candies free
or almost free when on sale!!
Unless coupons specifically say Speedway
on them you can use them at any grocery store.

From about 11 to 3:00
we went up to Delaware Dam area.
All our fishing holes were spoken for.
You would have thought it was the weekend
with so many people fishing and putting
boats in the water!
We ended up at Hoover.



DOES ANYONE SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS
PICTURE????

Got home and got some grub in the bellies.
Then me and Tony worked on getting the "new"
hood and hinges on the blue Trans Am.
It originally had hood pins and you had
to totally remove the hood to work under the hood.

8:00pm

Tonight we're going to go see Marmaduke
and possibly Shrek
(depending how tired we are)
at the drive-in-theater.
Taking along a jug of Kool-Aid
and 2 bags of premade microwave popcorn.
Always looking for ways to do things
and save money at the same time :0)

I guess me and mom will be doing some
yard sales tomorrow morning.
Late to get to bed and early to get up.
I see my butt will be dragging tomorrow!
So I am currently sitting here
mapping our route of sales I found
in the SNP or Craigslist.
Looks like we'll be hitting this area
and Westerville as usual.

MIDNIGHT

Kids went straight to bed.
