No, I don’t have a potty training horror story to tell you. Simply, my Internet was hosed almost all day yesterday. Up and down it went until we finally left the house around 4 when I gave up working and I didn’t get back on my computer until 11pm. *gasp*. That must be a record.
But today it seems all better and I’m able to get to all my favorite sites and oh, um, work too.
So let’s talk about my evening out. It was a frugal night if you ask me.
- We went to Blockbuster and turned in a DVD mailer and used our monthly coupon so each of the girls could pick out a movie. No cost.
- Then we went across the parking lot and went through the drive thru and got 4 Jr Frosty’s with some coupons. No cost.
- Then we headed up to Old Navy so I could pounce on their winter coat sale right now. I picked out this coat that was normally $68, and 40% off and then I had a $10 coupon. Scott threw in a $10 thermal shirt at the last second but I still got both for $40.
- I then stopped in at CVS to do a second deal this week. I realized my coupons for Garnier would work and I could make some extra ECBs. The deal didn’t quite go as planned but it turned out ok in the end. The end result of this trip? I spent $5.01 for $33.41 and got back $15 in ECBs. I should have gotten a better deal than that but I’ll post more on that in a separate post.
- We headed to dinner where it wasn’t that cheap but we did get the kids free drinks. I ordered them sodas but the guy took a look at them and only charged them for waters. Thankyouverymuch,kindsir.
- After that, Heather and I headed off to CVS and Walgreens since she hadn’t done her weekly shopping and I needed to fix my problem from my earlier trip. I ended up with a $8 gift card which then cancelled out the money I spent earlier. Again, more later.
- And then we came home and M and Heather and I watched Grey’s and Run’s House.
To me a very eventful yet low cost night. All in all, we came home with 4 or 5 bags full of stuff worth over $115, 2 rented DVDs and full bellies with a snack and dinner all for under $60.
I guess my title doesn’t really fit what this post ended up being about…I never have been good at those things.
