12:15PM

Me and mom went to a couple
more thrift stores today.

The first thrift store I found
a large bag full of Space Bags
for $4.99!!

4- Extra large
1- Jumbo
2- Large
3-Medium
These would have cost around $40!

Next store was Goodwill.
I spent $42 on everything
listed below including
clothing, food and tax!

I thought I was doing good to find
2 pair of pants at buy 1 get 1 free.
2 pairs cost $3.49

As I was browsing around
I saw an end shelf full of grocery items
that caught my eye.
I started going through stuff,
throwing things in my cart.
A worker brought over another cart
full and started putting those on
the shelf also.
I was grabbing stuff left and right, lol.
The worker brought out yet
another cart full of stuff and
just left it there for me to go through.
My cart was full!!

I never would have imagined doing
my grocery shopping in a thrift store today!

I asked if this was something
that they were going to start doing
and the lady told me this was more
than normal for some grocery items
that they get. She said it was all
donated from Target.
Nothing was outdated!!
Most still had a year or more
left before expiring!!

You should've seen the line
behind me when I was checking out, lol.
I had so much stuff to check out
that the line went to the back of
the store. The cashier asked me
if there was any food items left
on the shelves. There was plenty left.
I only took things I know we use.

So here goes with what I got at Goodwill.

Mail Call

Today I got a free pack of
hearing aid batteries in the mail.
I gave them to my step-dad.

------------------------------------

I turned in some points from
one of my survey sites
to get a free 2 year subscription to
Cosmopolitan.

--------------------------------

4:30pm

Decided to give my hall closet
a $4.99 makeover with my Space Bags
I got today.
My closet is jammed packed
with blankets, bed linens
and extra curtains!
To the point you open up the
door, grab what you need,
then shut the door really
quick before something falls out!
Used 7 bags and still have
2 large and 1 jumbo left over.
My guess is that there is about
10 or so full sized comforters
and blankets in this closet
with everything else!

BEFORE

AFTER
Ahhh, I can open the closet
door once again without
fear of something falling out.
And I ended up with extra space!!
Woo Hoo!

-------------------------------

4:50pm

Well time to jump off here
and figure out what to have
for supper.
Also I need to chase a few kids
out of the yard that thought
it would be cool to bring
TWO Pit Bulls over, NOT!!

-----------------------------

9:30pm

I'm so proud of myself.
I made it 1 mile on the jogger
machine! It said I burned
almost 400 calories in 32 minutes.
Whew, time for a breather,
a little fan, some pop and a
towel for the boob sweat, lol!

-----------------------------

Full moon tonight.
