after walking this morning mom and I went to Walmart for a few things. I can't believe how many people are buying gardening plants. We can't plant here yet, we just had more snow yesterday - it was light but still snow. We had several inches earlier this week. Ah well, live and learn.

I got 2 12 packs of Schick disposable razors and 3 Johnson's Buddies soaps for free to give to the food pantry. Actually I had to pay taxes, but I consider it free. I saved $8.80 on $28 in coupons. I pop popcorn in an air popper and get the Walgreens brand. It went down 25% from $1.98 to $1.48 so I got a couple bags of that. That was the extent of my bargains, I got a few other things that were just a good Walmart basic price, but no sale or coupon.

I ordered 4 books from Border's last night including Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. It was 40% off at $24. I got 40% off one of the other books too using a promo code. I used reward gift cards to pay for them so no out of pocket money.

Completed my April spending totals. It was an expensive month since I had to pay propery taxes. Total spent $2,444.22. I really need to rein in the eating out. I spend about a third more on that vs groceries. I ate out 14 times which is almost every other day. I'll try to limit it to twice a week. But I like to eat out and I do it with family and friends pretty often.

I finished reading the library book Fantasy in Death by J.D. Robb. Sci/Fi - excellent - love this series

    I cannot imagine it snowing right now! In Louisiana we are having 70-80 degree weather! Good job on the free stuff.

    Have you watched Julie and Julia? Its about a blog that lasted one year going through every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. A fun movie.

    I share some expensive seed with a gardener who has a hard time believing that late Mach to early April is not time to plant summer crops. Sure enough, for the second year she put in her seed only to have them rot in the soil. But this time, I'd ordered the economical (per seed) farmer's packet, so I can resupply her in about two weeks. Wink It is very easy to get over-eager with gardening.
