The sales on supplies. As I mentioned, we don't need a thing.
WANT, well that is something completely different.
I Want to be prepared
I Want to pay sale price, not full price.
I Want supplies for the house as well as school.
Just like sales with groceries, stock up when on sale so you don't run out and pay full price.
10 cents for Composition book, yes please, 1 penny for a spiral notebook, I will take 2. We use these items all year round.
Be careful though, some stores have this sale, "With minimum purchase of (Insert dollar amount here)" I don't buy those.
Plus during these Back to School sales, you can find crafting/art supplies that are cheap. Sharpies, color pencils, paper.
I plan to spend .87 cents to get some supplies I need to prep for a craft show.
25 cents ea. for gold and silver Sharpies (3)
10 cents Composition book
1 cent spiral notebooks (2)

Back to School - Part 1
Oh the sales...10 cents for a note book, a penny for crayons.
I don't need a thing.
I mentioned in June the many, many pencils my son brought home from school.
He also brought home other supplies the kids (and teacher) were throwing out. New, unused and used glue sticks, Post-it notes, mechanical pencils, pens. Erasers and more erasers.
His supply list is complete without having to buy a thing.
Barely used color pencils and crayons from last year will do just fine. They look practically new.
(We even have enough to fulfill the list again, which I will do and send it in just in case someone can't afford supplies)

That time of year again
Christmas...
Craft show prep
Pretty sure I am going to do a craft show this year, so I have started making crafts
Ornaments from things I have a round the house
Corks
I also hope to bead some Christmas balls and knit dish cloths.

Summer Break and Ice Cream
Ahh, I took a break this summer
But now I am back
And what goes great with summer? Ice cream
So I made some, well sort of.
Banana Ice cream with chocolate sauce
I froze the bananas, then pureed them in a food processor, added just a touch of cream
Whipped up Choc. sauce because I have cocoa powder
And there you go.
Frugal and yummy
