After I dropped the kids off at school, I went to WalMart. There was a big sale there on garden supplies so I bought Dh's Father's Day gift, and 3 end of the year teacher gifts, as well as Mother's Day gifts for my Mom and stepmom and two Christmas gifts for the kids. I also purchased a 50% off box of 70 mini Halloween chocolate bars. I'll keep those at work for little munchie times...not that I need them! Altogether I spent just under 60 dollars. Then I went to Superstore for fruit and vegies and some other items that I couldn't find at Costco yesterday. I bought 3 Christmas gifts, 2 sweaters for me for work, and 4 containers of the hair mousse that I like (with a bonus deep conditioner attached to each bottle) and altogether it came to 120.00. My Christmas shopping is coming along nicely. I save all my Superstore points until December and then use them towards a big Christmas shop for our Boxing Day Open House. It's up to around 100.00, so that's pretty good.
I put in some laundry, tidied the kitchen, and loaded and started the dishwasher. I'm going to start dinner, finish the laundry, and get my clothes ready for work. Dd has an orthodontist appointment at 2:00, and I start work about 3:00 today, so it's going to be a bit of a rush. I suppose I'd better detach myself from the computer and get moving...

Things I did today to save money:
1) Bought gift items on sale
2) Ate leftovers for lunch
3) Washed clothes using homemade laundry detergent
4) Pre-planned great dinner for family...using crock pot!
5) Won't buy dinner at work, I'll eat when I get home.
