Headed into town today to return a couple of things. I'm making a concerted effort to return things I buy that find I won't use or I find on sale elsewhere. Returned about $17.00 worth of stuff. Not a big deal, but had to be done.
I also "sold" some of the Christmas presents I bought for the kids to my mother. I went Christmas shopping in mid September. Hit the Toys R Us sale and got quite a bit of stuff for just over $100. Then Xander's birthday came along and the house was overrun with toys. I started to rethink all the stuff I had bought the boys and considered returning some of them. I mentioned this to Mom and she offered to "buy" some of the presents fro me so that she wouldn't have to go shopping. So today I took two toys to Mom's and she gave me $100 for them. Good deal for both of us I guess.
Feeling secure that my potential grocery deficit is now taken care of, I grabbed some extra formual, a gallon of milk, and a six pack of those blasted little yogurts that Xander loves so much.
I'll write up my grocery list this weekend and should be good to go for next week.
Go Shopping- Make Money (sort of)
