Shopping (for the No Buy)

Ok, here is my report, So made a list, worked the list, fiddled around with the list and away we went today..

  • First Stop was to get the oil changed-Need
  • Lucked out and found the container I wanted and had been looking for, but could not find and it was on sale for just under five dollars(had ten as the approx budget) DH pushed for a second one of these, he won because both cost the same as I had planned for one.. So did that count or not? still not sure.. but both are already in use and will be a daily used item-Need for at least one.
  • Stop Two- Cheese Wiz, Massive sale -loss leader, 4 dollars off compared to normal.. three limit, I got three, hubby got three.. Planned stock up, I am happy with this one.
  • At the same store, had planned DH’s ma b-day gift buying.. had the amount figured out and thought I had it picked, got there, didn’t like it in person near as much as I did in the flyer.. looked, shopped and ended up with four gifts instead of two, under budget by 4 dollors to boot..-Need
  • Stop 3-Food Shopping, got in, followed list until we got to the planned frozen veggie, I like a certain cheap mix of veggies for soups/stews, and its not been on sale at all this winter, darn if it was not on sale today.. so for the cost of one bag, on sale I got 3 bags(two more then the list said but price was right) Otherwise stayed on the list, and didn’t give in.. but sure spent a great deal of time saying.. Walk away, don’t look.. just get in and get out! DH said I HAD to look at one thing on sale.. looked at it, looked at him.. Pointed to the paper.. and said.. IS IT ON THE LIST? His reply was Gotta Pen.. Smart mouth.. LOL  We didn’t get any.. we don’t need it..

So that’s my report ladies..

    Ok, now that’s funny, because I’m likely to be the one saying “That’s a GREAT price!” and Mr. Doom will say “Is it on the list?” Next time I’ll say “That’s why I brought a pen!”

    LOL

    • Its a good way to add a little chuckle in for sure, but being able to add to the list on the fly would defeat the time spent making the darn thing.

      It was a little hard to give up my tiny treats, our breakfast out, a cheap 5 buck new movie, my new weekly magazine, a cup of Tim’s while we waited for the oil change.. but figure it will all add up.
