It's late Friday night but I'm going to the sale Saturday morning as soon as it's open to the public (9 AM). I have a list of items just for me (I am single without kids)... and it includes clothing, shoes, books, games, and home items. Where will you be volunteering during Saturday morning? I would like to say "hello!" Hi!

But the amazing customer service rep that helped me did some magic and was able to finagle a $50 gift card instead! I was so happy with her help. I spent $78 yesterday on our weekly groceries, and I plan to spend another $50 at the farmer's market on Saturday -- putting me $25 below budget for the week. With this $50 gift card, next week's PNS bill should be low, too. Then we'll be on vacation after that, where all meals are provided. My grocery bill this month is going to be significantly smaller than usual--woohoo! I redeemed my premiums yesterday, and I was disappointed that I had only 19 for a $35 gift card.

The children in the book are loved (if you want to call it that), but deeply neglected and often abused. Food is a constant source of worry for the mothers, and I am grateful I don't have that kind of stress in my life.

That should offset a lot of the overage I've been experiencing. If I can do this again next week, I'll be right on track again! I love knowing that a little attention to the list and finagling the details can pay off this way.
