Jerry and I are going to a free Senior Exp 2008 today in Bloomington. Sounds like an exciting day, right?
Ann asked how I was going to spend the $3.88 found in the bottom of my purses. I think I'll share some of it with Jerry today and we'll get two hot fudge sundaes from McDonald's - that will take $2 +tax. Sometime I'll use another $1+tax for my own hot fudge sundae. That should leave enough for two quarters for Nathan to use on a truck ride at Walmart. Any remaining pennies will go in our change jar.
Two notes: I didn't stay on my Walmart boycott very long - I guess the place is just too necessary to my lifestyle. I was so glad when Eric gave the "go-ahead" for patronizing McDonalds because I just wasn't able to give up those hot fudge sundaes.
I take budgeting very seriously these days!

I wondered if you guys were going to go to that senior expo. I've seen their signs around town. I think it's funny that it's sponsored by a funeral home!!
For me. . .it's the caramel sundaes. :-)
Wow - you are counting the pennies on that $3.88! I absolutely love a good bargain. Last Saturday our grocery had Scott tissues buy one get one free. I also had two coupons for buy three, get $.50 off. Those were doubled off at the store. Bottom line: I got six boxes of tissue for a little over $2.
You're taking your Crowne Financial studies pretty serious, when you're counting out your quarters and pennies! When we moved to our condo we had a huge garage sale and I sold tons of clothes, both Dave's and mine. I was running really tight on time, and I know I gave some people some really good deals as they went through the pockets after they got home with their purchases. I know there was money, and I think a head-covering or two. Wonder what they did with those!
