NOVEMBER challenge: Living Off Of Your Stockpile. WINNERS in post 1088

Ds informed he doesn't need diapers any more. I am surprised that he is pretty much potty trained in a week. Was not even expecting this to go so fast. Dd took forever but I think I tried to start too early with her. We went to Bass Pro Shop last night for 3 hours with ds in underwear and he stayed dry. I am going to save so much money not buying diapers and pull ups!

Oh I wish DS2 would do this. I think I just need to bag the pullups and start putting him in just underware but don't want to do that until MIL is watching them again. Sis just doesn't have the time with 5 kids to keep up on him with it so I don't want to put him into underware until MIL can help keep it up while I am at work.

I plan to hit the stores today (Don't usually go on weekends) since DH is out snowmobiling its just me and the boys for the day. But first I have to clean up this mess I have made with my Qs.

This is what I am starting with on 11/22/09

0.00 cash
0.00 Paypal
38 Stamps
$10 Kellogg gc
$10. Best Buy gc
$23.97 in uncashed rebate checks

We need lots of odds and ends, so I am going to have to hit a store either today or tomorrow.

I would rather continue to fly kites with DS1 and DS2

I would but we don't have any at all at home. :shrug7: DH has to drive a couple hours to the mountains to go play. I love where we live because with just a couple hour drive we can be at either the mountains or the ocean (in oposite directions). We don't tend to get the 'extreme' temperatures here and everything is green.

My Q's are finally organized (good enough anyways) so after the boys and I finish our lunches and get dressed we will be heading shopping. We also need to hit the hardware store for the first items to get working on the lower bathroom. DH and friend got the water shutoff valves put on the toilet and sink and took both out. Time to get busy if I want to have the Bathroom and Family room finished before Christmas! :hectic1:

Well I'm back. Went to Home Depot ($40.xx) for some home improvement items then to Safeway.

Safeway OOP 26.83 (Saved 28.18) Not as good as my original plan but they only had 4 of the ICBINB Baking sticks. :shrug7: Then realized he missed one of my Q's so I got $1 back in cash.

Put the boys down for a nap as soon as we got back and started scrubbing the walls in the lower bathroom, pulling off the old rubber trim, took down the medicine cabinet & towel, tp holders. While scrubbing the walls near the ceiling my shoulder went out of joint so now I am taking a break and gonna go head to find some advil. I hate having shoulder problems.

I try to avoid stores the week of Thanksgiving unless I HAVE to have something so heres hoping I can keep myself away. I am in charge of pies for my IL's house but I have that onhand already. I gave my mom pies for that side of the family and so all I need to do for over there now is BYOB. It's still looking like we might have Christmas for my side of the family here this year but Mom will still do all the cooking since I have to go to the IL's house in the morning. Now if only my shoulder would stop hurting so I can get the house finished.

Early last week received 1.44 in trade! Thanks!

Last night ran out to get two gallons of milk as we were total out.
Spent 5.59 but found out that they are offering a "milk card". Buy 15 get the 16th free. This is at Weigles for those of you in East TN. Local hormone free milk cheaper than Walmart.

Not wanting to go out tomorrow but need a few important things like eggs

Plus I am in charge of making the pies for Thursday so I think I need to get some stuff for that.

[phinphana]

B:cereal
L:eggs and bacon and bread
S:wheat thins & swiss cheese
D:?
I need to go out later a few expiring coupons

I think the only reason ds is being so easy is because dd was so difficult. God had mercy on me this time around lol. I had to keep a change of clothes in dd's backpack all through kindergarten


I thinj I am going to have to buy a new washer and dryer soon :sad: These are only maybe 5 years old but they're acting up.
