Patio plants and CVS shopping

Hello everyone. 

Our backyard plants are just flourishing this year with all the rain fall. 

I grew a few from seed but most are plants bought from the Lowe’s markdown rack bought by my husband or son.  

Our pots are just an assortment, mostly from previous year’s yard sales.  

I looked for pots yesterday but didn’t see any.  

That big orange tub held some sort of an agriculture product and it’s from our son that has cattle.  

 This started out as 3  tiny succulents from Atwood’s.  They were in 2 inch pots when I bought them in April.  

I’ve heard succulents like hot, dry conditions but these have thrived this cool, damp Spring.  

This is a fairy garden I set up for my grandchildren.  They all like it and when they’re not here,  I rearrange it too.

My favorite piece is this little clothes line.  I found it at Dollar Tree.

On to CVS,  the deals are not great this week, but I had $28 in CVS ExtraCareBucks bucks and I like to spend them so I don’t neglect them and let them expire.

I got lots of toilet paper and paper towels.  Also, 1 bag of Tide pods and a makeup brush I wanted.  

After my newspaper coupons and $28 in ExtraCareBucks,  I spent $18.40 and got just $10 back for next week. 

But I’m happy with this deal as we were low on both paper products.

If you are a brand new CVS shopper, I would recommend waiting for better deals in a future week.  

Another money tip is return stuff that has problems and get a refund.  I bought a big bag of Caesar salad at Walmart on Wednesday, thinking it would be an easy side dish while my sister in law and brother in law were here.  

We didn’t eat it then but I got it out to have it with lunch today but it was so brown!  It was dated best by June 7, 

5 days away.  So I returned it this afternoon and got a refund of almost $5.  

Have a good Sunday everyone ❤️

I’m sorry, I had a crazy time doing this post using both the blog app and also trying it on Chrome.  And this is as good as I could get this short post to look and it took 90 minutes 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Neighborhood yard sale day

Our neighborhood’s annual yard sale and a nearby neighborhood’s sale was this morning. 

I shopped with my son and sister in law.  

Kid things were very abundant.  

Among my treasures are this pile of super condition boys clothes- some were $1 each and some were $2.50 for a sack full.  

Fabric was $3

Puzzle was .50 and a like new pop up book was $1

Razor scooter was $2

These retail for around $50 

Plastic barn was $2 and is the prefect home for farm animals we already owned

And a Rae Dunn mug for .50 

It was not nearly as hot today as it usually is for our annual sale so it was enjoyable being out. 

We went to lots sales, I’d guess 30 and I’ll say I have my desire to yard sale satisfied with all these purchases.  

I’ve really been a slacker toward blogging and I miss it.  I have plans to get back to regular posting.  

We’ll see! 

Have a great June 1st everyone.
