Well the only money I spent was for a pk of hot dog buns and a pk of hamburger buns for supper. (We only like fresh bread, can't stand it if it has been frozen).

Went to the thrift/train wreck store today. It is just a store that sells everything from food to furniture. Some of the stuff like the boxes might be smushed or something. Everything is still sealed and has good experations dates. Here is what I got:

1. Boudreaux's butt paste for $1.50 each. Everywhere else I see it around here is like for $4.00.
2. Hunt's pudding 4 packs for .50 each
3. Kraft easy mac 6 packets per box. Got one box for $1.50. I have been wanting to try it out so for a $1.50 that is a good deal.
4. Super big thing of Foldgers coffee for $5.00

1. Went to two Dollar Stores and Big Lots, and found most of what I needed for a few people for Christmas. I know I got a better deal on quite a few things, like a Mr. Potato Head for $5 , as opposed to $10 at walmart, among other things.
2. For my Christmas movie buckets, I managed to find 5 pretty good DVDs for $5 each at Walmart, so will use these and then just get a $5 GC to Blockbuster, add popcorn and candy and call it good.
3. The usual, brought my breakfast and lunch to work, drank the free water.
That's about it.
