2:45pm

Been running around town

with my honey all day.

He has today off for Memorial Day

instead of Monday.

Of course we went to our favorite

place to eat breakfast this morning-

Tee-Jays.

From there we had to go to Uptown

Westerville to our insurance office.

Then from there went to 

a yard sale further North on

Old 3C in Delaware county.  

I found one thing while

Tony found 3.  Didn't see any other yard

sales after that :0(

Since I got Christopher a 

5 VHS set about trains for Christmas

I found Jonathan this 5 VHS set

about baseball.  I paid $2.00 for the set.

Tony found these items-

4 switch plates

$1.00 for the 2 double switch plates.

.50 cents for 2 single plates.

2 new looking outdoor cushions $1.00 for both.

We needed new ones for our swing.

And a bird bath for $1.00.

We put the one we have in the

front yard and now Tony

would like to have

one in the backyard.

From Delaware we went out

to Reynoldsburg to the transmission

shop where Tony's friend works.

He put the car on 2 different scanners.

It wouldn't scan for some reason

so there was a wasted trip.

From Reynoldsburg we cruised

over to Grove Port and walked

around the junk yard.

Stopped in a convenience

store for something to drink

and found these coupons-

Had to stop in Kroger before

coming home.

Home at 2:45pm.

And tonight we're heading back over to

Grove Port to go to Tony's

friend's house so he can see

what kind of work he wants

done on his house.

So when we're out and about 

again this evening we'll stop in Speedway.  

Today is free pizza slice day!

It is today only!

So for 4 slices pizza

and 4 Sunkist 20 ounce diet pops

with coupons should run

around $2.50 for all.

I'm tired of all this running

that's for sure!

And I'm sure there's no sleeping

in tomorrow since the kids

want to go to a few yard sales

tomorrow morning.

Still feel like my head's in a vice

and coughing like crazy.

There is some progress.

My head seems like it is starting

to try and drain some.

If I could get rid of this cough

I'd feel so much better.\
Let me just say that coughing
with weak bladder muscles
don't combine!

It's been 10 days now.

Tony keeps telling me he wants
to take me to Urgent Care and I just
cringe at the thought of any more
doctor bills.

100% fruit juices are getting expensive

and go rather quickly when you have

a large family of 4 or more.

Here is a way to stretch your fruit juice

and cut down on calories as well-

 

Tea is pretty inexpensive when you catch

sales and use coupons.  

 

Make up a batch of tea.

Either mix 1/2 tea & 1/2 fruit juice

or 3/4 tea & 1/4 fruit juice ratio

together.

Tea has health benefits as well.

Tea has antioxidants,

and possibly antibiotic possessions

with different varieties.

 

So when you combine both

juice and tea you are stretching

your budget and getting more

health benefits from it!

v8 fusion with tea- about $3.50 

for 46 ounce bottle.

around .07+ cents per ounce.

compared to-

64 ounce 100% bottled juice on sale- $2.50

tea bags to make one pitcher- .16 cents

combine 1/2 tea & 1/2 juice into

two different containers.

 

Makes a total of 128 ounces.

Total cost- $2.66

or $1.33 per 64 ounce container!

.02+ cents per ounce!

You will have made 3x's+ the amount

of fruit juice and tea compared to

the one bottle of v8 Fusion!
