Start Saving Money Today!

and mild winds

Today was family day! We headed out to the Farmers Market in Los Angeles ~ corner of 3rd and Fairfax. We got there around 2pm, which was super late because me and DS was sleeping until 10am this morning. Jay was the one who woke us up in our sleep. It was really awesome there. I've been wanting to go since last year and it finally happened! The planning wasn't too good but I'm sure it'll be better next time. We ate seafood gumbo, catfish, ribs, and had...

Today was and windy. I was so happy to go out today after being stuck at home all day on Thursday because I left DS's car seat in my sister's car. I took a trip to CVS to get on my Pond's deal. Here are the details:

3 - Pond's facial wipes @ 3.99 ea
9 - Schick disposal razors @ .99 ea
1 - Organix Cough drops @ .99 ea
COUPONS USED:
1 - $4 off $20
3 - $1.50/1 Pond's
8 - $1.00/1 Schick
1 - $5 ECB
My OOP was about $1 something...

Oh gosh! Today is the end of the month, meaning last day to use most of my coupons and also the last day for CA tax to be at 8.25%. Tomorrow (April 1st~please tell me it's an April fool's joke!) LA's tax will be at a new effective rate of 9.25% and will probably expire on either July 1, 2011, or July 1, 2012. This is really sad because people are losing jobs due to the economy but at the same time there is a decrease in the value of money. Ummm... Do I hear inflation? As bad as it is, I might...

OMG! I'm finally on. I didn't do much during the day but made up for it in the evening time. My sister came over today after work and we headed out to Target. We got a lot of items there for a grand total of about $25 bucks and the original price was about $85 before coupons. It would've been lesser if she didn't buy cat food. Her cat food cost about $10 dollars and mine cost about $7. The other $8 was on groceries and supplies. This is what I can list on top of my head:

It's Sunday and I didn't get any newspaper today. Overcast weather with clouds covering the sky back and forth. Today my sister came over and we went out like usual. We stopped by the mall and got me some VS Pink underwear. I'm a freak for underwear. I only had an hour there since I arrived there an hour before closing time which was 6pm. It use to close at 7pm but since the economy got so bad, everything was cut down! It's actually okay because less time equals less shopping and that's exactly...
