Had a lovely start to the weekend so far. A store near us was having a sale on home-brewing supplies, so DF stocked up on a few items. Saved probably about $10. Not a huge amount, but now he is good for atleast another few months. (less trips to the store for DF means less spending - as he always goes in for one thing and comes out with ten extra items!).
I bought two summer tops for $15, three pairs of underwear for $21 and a hair accesory band for $9. Also shouted my SIL to a coffee and myself, $8.10.
I tried on a new style of dress that seems to be in all the stores at the moment and realised it actually looks alright on me - now thinking of finding one in a pattern that I like! The good thing about them being in a lot of stores is firstly, variety of prints and materials, and secondly, I can find the best price too. So I guess that will be my treat for the month. Might buy those in palce of the flip flops, seeing as I can't find any under $120 and don't really want to pay that much for them.
This morning I went to the market and spent approx $35 on fruit and veges for the week. I also bought some plastic icy-pole containers, so that through summer we can be cool & healthy
Any ideas for what to make them with? In the freezer I currently have sliced strawberries and apple cider.
weekend shopping, & icy pole ideas???

Daisy and her friend made all kinds of creative icy treats this summer. Lemonade was a big hit, as was root beer. (This is a locally brewed root beer, and it's fabulous. Very different than the kind you'd buy in the grocery store.) They also did some kind of fudgy concoction - I think it involved cocoa mix and chocolate chips but I pretty much turned them loose in the kitchen and told them to just clean up afterwards. I'm not sure what was in it but they liked that one quite a bit!
