blessed #3

I don't know who you are or what posessed you to dismiss this incredible fixture, but tonite, to you I am entirely grateful.

Seconds before I left my parents' home my dad casually produced this masterpiece. She's so fabulous I'll have to give her a name.

Franny.

Who gets rid of this stuff?

Are you high?

My dad used to frequent the Logan Deseret Industries when I was growing up. I literally hid under the dash until we were at least 50 feet clear of the driveway. Now I daresay I go more often than he does to thrift stores. At least 85% of my children's clothes and shoes are secondhand. This is my little way of giving back to the environment by recycling. LOL. LOL again, with my mouth really wide open. Really, I'm just both cheap and vain(ish).

Thank-You Albertson's

I spent my morning doing something I used to do a lot. It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I followed a sale. I mean REALLY did. I just stocked my food storage shelves with 149 items ranging from onion soup mix to deoderant to ice cream (Breyer's of course). Between manufacturer's and "preferred savings" I saved $314.17. I used my manufacturer's coupons (find them on PinchingYourPennies) and the $15.00 coupons I got after spending $30.00 (on certain items), at Albertsons. All told my debit card saw $142.41 worth of action for over $458.06 worth of stuff! 69% savings!!! AND, less than $1.00/item.

P.S. I still have another $15.00 worth of coupons to spend on my next trip to Albertson's! I left because I felt bad for the checker who was helping me, so I'll go back later. So technically I saved even more!!!
