There is a church yard sale in town today. I love church sales. Beloved and I had planned to go. He got over time! (big praise that!). I know I could go. I could stop and pick up my bp meds and some cat litter for ds on the way home too.
However the round trip would run about $6.50 gas wise. Plus if I bought anything... Money being tight right now while we adjust to being minus the kids do I really want to spend that just to get out? I plan to scoop ds's box and see if it needs more litter... before I spend $10 on it. I do need to talk to the pharmacy about my meds but i do not need to go there today, I have several pills left.
I think I will just stay home, save the cash and do more to reclaim my kitchen. I need to take all the dishes off the open shelves and put up shelf paper. They probably need a good cleaning too, shelves not dishes. I have one shelf I can not reach even with my stool so I need to set up a chair to get to it too. Once Beloved gets home I will do laundry since there was so little yesterday I did not do it.
I might also work on the yard. There are lots of bits to do. I may use my extra time to bake too, we do need some banana bread!
Yesterday in town I got some good deals on ground beef, chicken and a few other meats. I found the free butter. Finally! I had taken $80 with me and spent $60, including getting 10 bar towels to replace paper towels. I have not seen these in a big bundle anywhere so each time I happen into wally I will grab some until I have a washer loads worth.
Drew signed the papers on his house yesterday! He plans to move out the 5th. We do not know yet if Chris is going with or not.
Well I need to plan supper so I best get going!
hugs y'all
Mel, do be careful getting up on a chair to reach that shelf!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like things are coming along for you. So many of us seem to be in a season of change.
Wishing you a glorious day in His love, Dear One.
That chair idea sounds a bit scarey, Mel, I am with PFP...please be very careful!
ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful that things seem to be falling into place and your ducks are lining up...and congratulations to Drew...what an amazing accomplishment!
XOXO
I love yard sales! The difficult thing, though, is that sometimes I end up spending money I don't absolutely have to spend. The overall savings can be tremendous, but if I'm buying something I can do without, I need to go that route when money is tight. Still, it is mighty tempting!
