Frugal Day

May 9th, 2005 at 06:21 am

Only spent 99 cents today, and that was to get the Sunday Kansas City paper-for the coupons. I dont understand why the paper is always 99 cents at walgreens, but $1.25 everywhere else-the $1.25 price is printed on the front even. Walgreens sale this week is not as good as usual. But, with my coupons it looks like I should still be able to get toothpaste free and also deoderant. I really don't need either one, but if I can use copouns when they are on sale to get them for free, I will. They have their all laundry detergent on "sale" 2 for 5.99 or as they put it, buy one at 5.99 and get the 2nd free. But, even aldi and the dollar store beat their "sale" price with their everyday price. Sometimes their sales aren't such a good deal. I washed and hung 2 loads of laundry today. They still are not dry--its been rainy and damp out today. I may have to use the dryer if they aren't dry by morning, as the last load was the girls school uniforms which they will need tomorrow. Made pizza today for lunch. I don't use pizza sauce, but use Aldi's speg sauce instead. It tastes just the same at half the price. I have our lunches all packed for tomorrow--bologna and cheese sandwhiches juice, pudding, green beans, muffins and graham crackers. Usually the girls eat the muffin for their morning snack, and the graham crackers for their afternoon snack. I save old juice bottles, and refill them then freeze them. Buy lunchtime they are thawed out, but still chilled, and it keeps the rest of the lunch cool also.
Daughter #2 has another xray tomorrow, so she will miss part of school again. That means 3 trips back and forth to school tomorrow. Its exactly 8 miles from my house one way to school. Also, another $15 copay for the xray. My house payment was supposed to have come out of my checking account automatically on Friday, and I just checked the bank and for some reason it did not come out. That is odd, I will have to remember to check it again tomorrow.
