I found a website that has some really good printable coupons at:

http://www.couponcabin.com/printable-coupons/index.htm

I printed off several for me and my mom. I got one for 15% off one item at Barnes and Noble so I went there today and got 1 book. With my Membership card and the coupon I saved 23% on the book and I paid with a 12% discounted gift card.

Next stop was Media Play where I thought they were having their triple points weekend, but it turns out it's next weekend. I had picked out 5 books to buy so I was glad I asked at the cash register. I told her I would just buy the newspaper and come back next week for the books. Spent $1.25

I met my parents for lunch at the Elephant Bar and got 20% off my meal with a coupon. Spent $11

Next I went to my friends house to check out her new bathrooms. She got acrylic walls put in. They were really nice.

On my way home I stopped at Target and went crazy. I bought 3 t-shirts and 1 work shirt. I love the colors this fall so I'm stocking up. I bought a red grill pan for my mom for xmas and another one for me so I can grill more than one night without having to wash the pan in between. I got a portable heater on sale for my office and some large mailers. Total spent was $116.98. I used $100 of my Target 12% discounted gift cards so got some savings there.

Total spent so far this month = $249.24

It's snowing here now and it's supposed to snow all day tomorrow. Turned my furnace on for the first time this fall. It's set at 60 degrees but it hasn't kicked in yet. I'm pretty warm in my sweats. I'll turn the temp down to 55 before I got to bed, I like to sleep with it cold. We'll see if it kicks on overnight.

Finished reading the library book Every Which Way But Dead by Kim Harrison. Supernatural. Pretty good book.
