@coupon girl . Did I read correctly that you miss a mouse for the laptop/computer? Why don't you get a wireless one? I have a new laptop for work and I do not like using it without a mouse.

@Frugalbigmama , enjoy your weekend away.

@coupon girl , Happy Bday to your Son.

I feel the same about malls. I used to get so many deals at Torrid as their clearance was usually Buy 1 Get 2 free so this is where I would get Mine & Mom's around-the-house clothes. Generally, their clearance was higher in price but when you are 2 items free it worked out. One time for $40, I got 4 pairs of leggings and 2 shirts. So now I have to search for sales online which as a plus-size woman is not always so easy. I am really hoping these Old Navy Leggings fit.

All of my around-the-house pants are wearing very thin and starting to get some holes.

I really need to go through my clothes and see what I have and what I need to buy. But I am hopeful with my new budget I have laid out funds accordingly to have savings but also update some of the things that need updating. We bought all of our appliances within a year of moving into our house as the ones that came with the house were not in the best condition so I would like to start updating them before they break. As well there are some reno projects we have been putting off we really need to look at this year. Oh my, it is overwhelming but I am hoping my new budget will ease some of the Anxiety

I filled up the snowblower with gas(here is a thrifty tip we did yrs ago 24 yrs to be exact ,when we moved in the neighbour said would you like to use and share my new snowblower $300.00 he asked for ) so we did .

Mind you we had a falling out one summer but fixed that situation .Yes we live on the curve of a crescent and have a 90 foot driveway so a snowblower is much needed.

I didnt go anywhere today -saved money.


Update-i just emailed all the companies that send out coupons minus one or two,why not may get some cpns back in the mail.

Thank you!! I am finally good at work that I can look forward to it!

Good Morning! The weather alert ended for our area. Sounds like it will be a mild day.


WOW! Went to bed with a clean kitchen and woke up to a clean kitchen!!
The roast beef dinner was so so good last night! I totally over ate!! Have a nice lunch today of the leftovers
Tomorrow I will bring a nice roast beef sandwich for lunch.

Yesterday was a great work day. Considering 2 weeks ago I was ready to quit. For real. I guess 24 years has taken its toll on me.
Looking forward to another great day. Have a pile to get through but I don't anticipate any issues.

Have a fantastic day!

now that is something I never knew?! I only like using a mouse and gave the laptop that DH gifted me back to him. I hated using it. Tbh, even knowing this new info, I'll still not bother with it, he can have it....I resist learning new technology.

Technology and I are not friends either lol. But the funny thing is I can't even do certain things on my work software without a mouse (I can't open certain things) Ask me how I know this? ....Forgot the darn mouse at home when I went into the office to work one time!

[Frugalbigmama]

I am starving. I didn't bring breakfast.. Just my lunch. I may be eating at 11am!

Started a thread for March since it’s the last day of February! Where does the time go???

[harbie]

The snow is back falling here! Yuck. Had to recover the garden with mason jars over the individual buds to prevent the snow from weighing them down and crushing them.

Not much planned except I may walk over to SDM and use my spend $60 get 20,000 offer. I’ll organize the fridge again but that’s about it.

Enjoy your day and hopefully it’s not snowing lol
