walked with mom for 55 min

Went in town today to run errands. Started at Walgreens where I spent $7.74. Next stop was the acrylic wall place for my shower redo. I really liked their displays I have an appointment for them to come out and give me a quote next Thursday.

Next I went to the Used Book Store in the same strip mall. I have around $200 credit at this store, but they also sell new books at half-price for cash. So I used up some of my credit but I also spent $21.21 on new books. Four of them were ones I had planned to get at Media Play so even at Media Plays sale price I save $1.50 per book buying from the Used Book Store.

Went to Big Lots after that and found a really cute set of Coca-Cola silverware for 9.99. Mom collects Coca-Cola memoribilia so I got those for her b-day.

Went to the library in town and got some back issues of magazines and a couple books.

Went to Barnes and Noble were I had another 15% off coupon and got one book for $6.56

Next went to PC Pennys and got a pair of silky pajamas my mom wanted for her b-day. Spent $30.07

Then went to Sonic for lunch and spent $4.93 followed by Schlotzsky's on the way home for a sandwich for dinner. Spent $3.97

After that I was tired of shopping and went home. When I walked in the door my sister was calling me to ask me to go pick up my niece at school since she had a migraine and was feeling nauseous. So I went and got her, the school is only a mile from me. She felt better after awhile and we watched Semi-homemade and 30 minutes meals on TV until her dad came and got her. She's starting to do some of the cooking for the family and enjoys watching cooking shows. I like to watch them too, ever once in a while I see a cool idea.

Total spent for vacation = $15.37
Total spent for month = $284.75
