I put
beans in the slow cooker to cook all day on Sunday. Then I divided them up into containers to put
in the freezer so they'll be ready to add to meals I have planned this month. I put away two four cup containers of pinto
beans and five one cup containers of black beans.
At Fred
Meyer I was able to buy my youngest daughter a pair of name brand tennis shoes
on sale for $29.99 to replace the ones she wore out. I also found a coupon for an additional 15%
off any shoe or apparel purchase in their Sunday sales ad. That coupon saved me an additional
$4.50. Not to mention how stinking cool
they look.
I
listed several items to sell on eBay. I
sold one item.
I
donated a lot of my Etsy inventory from expired listings to my oldest daughter
to sell at her fundraiser to earn money for her trip to Europe. I also gave her a brand new, still in the
box, pair of Smith sunglasses to raffle off.
I also
pulled from my Etsy inventory a set of flour sack tea towels and a hanging dish
towel for me to use in my kitchen.
Additionally I pulled several items to be used as Christmas gifts this
year for a couple of my friends. They
are truly going to love their gifts this year.
We
stopped in at Harbor Freight and redeemed three more coupons for free
stuff. I also redeemed a sale coupon for
an air compressor you plug into your car lighter for only $5.99. It has an adapter for blowing up air mattresses
too.
I used some of those beans later in the week for Taco Soup |
I only
grocery shopped for produce and a gallon of milk this week.
I
filled my gas tank on the truck and saved 10¢ a gallon using my rewards card at
the Fred Meyer gas station.
I had
no time to cook or bake so I made a cookie platter using three packages of
cookies I bought at the dollar store and took it to our monthly potluck at
work. Everyone loves cookies and there
were only a few left at the end of the day.
I also
bought a plastic platter at the dollar store so I can take things to work or
friend's homes for potlucks and not have to worry if anything happens to
it. Several years ago I bought a package
of plastic serving spoons for the same reason.
I still have them and they have been very handy.
I made
a pint of 1000 Island dressing
We used
up the last of our Easter eggs by slicing them into a couple of salads and then
making a batch of egg salad.
We
stuck closely to our meal plan again this week and used up the leftovers in our
week day lunches.
Saturday
I made two homemade pizzas and a big salad.
We took them over to our friend's house and had lunch with them.
I took
my youngest on a date. We went out to
dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
Because of Cinco De Mayo they had a lot of specials going one. My dinner was $9.75 and hers was $1.99. We drank water.
We
stopped at Walmart on our way home after our "date" and picked up all
the supplies we needed to change the oil on our truck. A gallon of windshield fluid, four quarts of
oil and a filter for $21.62. I plan to
change my oil next weekend.
I
ordered a new electric wall mounted heater for our RV from Amazon.com. I am really excited about it.
I
bought a new pad and mattress cover for my bed.
How did
you do last week?
That is a great price on the tennis shoes!
ReplyDeleteI did good with listing & selling on ebay this week. The past month or so I have really been putting a lot of time & effort into it & it seems to be paying off.

I'm afraid now that I'm back to working full time my ebay business is really taken a hit. I need to sit down and take some time to work on it and get it going like I had it. I'm kind of bummed about it. Only so many hours in a day I suppose. :)
