This weeks remaining money was used towards taking oldest step son and his family to lunch after church on Sunday. We were celebrating his birthday.
Old days would not of thought twice about the price would of just put it on credit card. Now paying cash makes me choke as I see the bill. Thank goodness we also had a gift card we received as a Christmas gift from one of my sons.
Oh well had a nice time, everyone brought home left overs and his birthday is once a year.
thanks for stopping by... lets keep saving together and please remember
Never under estimate the value of a small amount of money.. Grace

I did the same thing with my coke rewards only I also combined it with the CVS B1G1 free coupon to get twice as many cokes ! Just a thought for your next set of coke rewards.
ReplyDeleteAlso TGIFridays is one of the best places to take family. Google before hand for coupons they let you share food so order one meal for every two people drink water and sign up for the stripes program. We pay about 1/4 of what we were paying at other places to take them all out to eat! Just tell them all ahead to pick a buddy in the group and they can decide togther what they are going to split. We always buy one of the apetizers so if anyone who is splitting does not have enough food the apetizer is there as well. This works well for our large family.
ReplyDeletethanks Robert for your suggestions. but we live in frostbite minnesota. No CVS or TGIF here. Hopefully we will have a CVS with in a year and come fall will have a larger walmart
