We can dream, right? That is so sweet of you to do for your daughter. I wish her the best of luck on her surgery.

Stopped by thrift store (less than $5 spent there) and Walgreens for a 90% off sale (where I also found half price ink in my #). Also, dropped three packages at post office, but was only $12 net profit (eBay).Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753632267580599652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-47139139151582464912019-01-15T01:52:07.840-05:002019-01-15T01:52:07.840-05:00The gas here went down to $2.85 and I thought we w...The gas here went down to $2.85 and I thought we were doing well. #jealous<br /><br />I'm always frugal, but I'm hitting it harder than usual because I need to go to Phoenix soon -- my daughter needs eye surgery and I'm going to be her driver and do a few things around the house. My biggest (only) expense is flying down there; we'll eat at home and our entertainment will be sunk-cost Netflix and Hulu. <br /><br />Oh, and painting. I'm going to paint her bathroom and recaulk the shower stall. #momvacationDonnaFreedman.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00424517756389917729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-39794285467244903712019-01-12T07:39:42.117-05:002019-01-12T07:39:42.117-05:00Thank you, Nil.

Free toilet paper can't be beat! I'll have to tell my daughter about that one, she is always looking for tp deals. I hope you have a great weekend.

And 3 days for your subbing isn't bad - it beats zero :) <br />I had a good week doing the things we all do. Cooked all our meals and spent very little at the store so that's good. <br />I did have a nice coupon from Staples - Save $10 on $10 spent. We got a huge package of Scott toilet paper for free. Free is good. <br /><br />Debra56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-81197904852395923862019-01-11T16:29:55.832-05:002019-01-11T16:29:55.832-05:00THank you, Cheryl.
