In the past I have been one who goes out and buys what I want, no matter the cost. But all that came to an end last March. I had made the decision to close my daycare last year, which was, at the time a blessing. But in doing that I had to make some changes in my spending habits as well as our family budget. I have a dear friend who helped my family budget out tremendously, and I will be forever in debt to her for this. She turned me on to thrift store shopping, and brought back my love of garage saleing.
I am now all about finding the best sale possible. I no longer buy my clothing at full price, it has to be on sale, and at a really good price too! Just today I saved quite a bit on my fabric softener. I was going to buy it a few days ago, but decided to wait until I got groceries, and sure enough, it was on sale, and I had a great coupon so it cost me next to nothing! So glad I waited.
I am now in the market to get a Flip Camcorder. I want to be able to do "how to" videos with the different craft projects I do here on this blog. I have been checking out different stores, and websites, but haven't found that earth shattering deal yet! But I will. I may just have to put this on my wish list for my birthday.
I have several projects in the wings for different knitting items so I will be browsing the paper on Sunday to see who has yarn on sale, and if any have coupons, if they do, I will have to remember to ask my mother in law and sister in law to save them for me!
