I took M and my niece to visit their great-grandma today. We got free lunch, and I got some peaches from her tree. I also used my teacher discount at the music store.

We used our fun zone passes, had two playdates (for free, of course) and I also had free lunch today.

I canned tomato sauce, tomatoes, and spaggetti sauce, used a curtain rod and A towel rod I already had in my shed for a towel bar for my ktichen and a rod for my kitchen window, and made a set of tab top cutains for said window this morning from muslin I already had on hand. I had bought the muslin at walmart as a remnant for like $2. Trying not to spend.

I saved $171.20 on groceries and household good like Tp and shampoo with coupons ad bogo doing my monthly shopping. I started working harder on making my own christmas gifts. I took stock of all the craft stuff I have on hand for making those Christmas gifts and I don't think I will need to buy hardly anything else. DH, DS, DD and SIL all went fishing this week and caught tons of fish that we cleaned and put in the freezer. (free food).

I'm jealous. My Dh takes our 2 boy fishing and never catches anything! I sure would like to see his hobby produce something. It is becoming an expensive one.
