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
