good morning everyone
From the comments on my last post, it seems a lot of us are watching our budgets so here are a few more of the frugal things from our home
We went to Walmart to get spray paint for our metal patio table set.
We saw pineapples and cantaloupes were marked .97 and since we really enjoy summer fruit, we picked out these.
I haven't been in CVS is weeks but I had a few deals I wanted to do,
After coupons and a $2 quarterly CVS ECB, my total was $1.56 and I paid that with a gift card.
I froze this one, un-jarred it, and then cut it into chunks. It is highly scented and these wax chunks will work perfectly in my wax warmers.
I read on Patsy's blog about a 100 day sewing challenge she is doing. It's perfect for me as I want to sew and have so many supplies on hand.

I'll keep track of my progress on my iPad.

But at the register, the cantaloupes scanned for $1.88 each. We told the cashier and she changed it.
This Walmart is mostly correct, except the produce department has wrong signage too often,
So...... I watch prices and watch the register.
And I got back a $2 ECB. So I guess this was sort of a .44 money making deal.
I haven't been to CVS because the deals do take planning and I've done so many deals there in the past, I am just stocked up on everything at home.
My parents had some nice candles but they can't burn them st their retirement home.
So, they gave them to me. I'm not crazy about burning candles but I do like to scent our home with wax melts in wax warmers.
Did you know if you put a jar candle in the freezer, that it will slide right out of its container? I read on Patsy's blog about a 100 day sewing challenge she is doing. It's perfect for me as I want to sew and have so many supplies on hand.

My first day of the challenge, I sewed curtains for this front window in the dining room, the previous pink toile curtains were nice but they clashed whenever I put seasonal decorations on the dining table. Pink toile just doesn't work with fall pumpkins or summer Red White and Blues.
So I put the toile ones on the craft room window and sewed these brown pindot ones with some brown bead trim on the bottom hem.
