Shopping plans

January 13th, 2007 at 01:44 pm

I haven't had a no-spend day in a while, and won't today either. Yesterday I went out to lunch with friends at an Irish pub; the day before I bought a candy bar from the vending machine. Today I have to grocery shop.

After having spent so much on my kitchen, I'm losing enthusiasm for my small economies. I have to psych myself up. One thing I will do today is shop at Aldi's. I have to take my car to the dealer to get something reprogrammed (a manufacturer's recall), and the dealer happens to be very close to Aldi. So I will shop there, first time in months. I'm also limiting myself to $40. That will go pretty far at Aldi's.

I'm also going to go to Border's with a 25% off coupon to get a baby shower gift -- probably "The Baby Whisperer" if it's in stock. Then to Target, to get something like blankets, something that's on her list.

I found a dime yesterday and was thrilled and amused at the same time. I've spent about $3500 on my kitchen and I'm happy to get a dime? I guess every little bit helps!

    Carolina Bound, I am at the same place! We just spent a boatload on painting our house and getting the new windows, blinds and slider and I'm fixing to spend even more on interior and exterior doors, BUT it is those small economies that have OVER TIME enabled me to be able to pay cash for all of these items as we are doing them.

    Keep stashing those dimes back!!

    Hehe, wish I were finished, but I still have lots of work to do, more in the order of painting and little fix-ups. I'll keep saving those dimes.
