Pay-Day
Yeah... I only get a check once a month at the end of the month. This month was a really great check cause I would be getting a full check (not living out of my overdraft this month) and I got my yearly raise. This year it was $70.00 per month. Now for me, living on a very small social security check that's a lot of money coming in.
I Needed to go out to Wal-Mart to get my monthly drugs (that cost me an arm and a leg) but I also wanted to go out to Trader Joes to get some stuff for a care package for a friend, take mom out to lunch cause it has been a LONG time since we've been able to just go out and do that, and then go to Barnes & Noble.
This month I needed to pick up a birthday present for kinsey. She'll be 5 next month. I like getting the kids books, cause they LOVE them. I also wanted to get something for sis when she has tubes put in her ears, which at this point is going to happen.I found the clearance tables. Every book there with a red sticker was only $2.00
I thought I'd look at them to see if there was anything interesting. I ended up finding a book that has been on my reading list for a while, a book that looked interesting that maybe dad would like to read, and I know i would like to try it out. A book on Irish Folk Tales by Yeats that i've been interested in for quite some time, and 2 gifts. Mom found a christmas book for the kids and a book on the art in The D'orsay Museum in Paris.
$138.00 regular retail price... $14.00 plus tax is what I paid.
I'm so happy about my purchases. I LOVE being able to buy book at such a bargain.
Very cool! Some sweet deals eh?
ReplyDeleteBTW- Sis goes to the specialist on Tuesday so we'll see what he says. =)
