I did some shopping today at the Dollar spot. I bought the mailboxes and some ribbon for the Cricut Swarm this weekend, I'm bringing goodie bags. And I bought some mini Prima packs for $.99 a piece at my LSS, and the paper to wrap the boxes of course. I think I spent about $5 a mailbox. I think that is a good deal.

but nothing for me...... I must be ill or something.

I did a little shopping yesterday - but I think I am within what I committed to mostly....I got the mickey combo cuttlebug thing with a coupon and some paper that I needed for swaps - I got a few extra white and black but that was mostly it. Oh yes and 8 for $1 8.5x11s - bought $3 worth but know what I'm going to do with it.

It was nice to indulge a smidge but not go nuts -all sizzix were 50% off and I just browsed........

Again, I drove past the Michaels, Target, Hobby Lobby and Big Lots (this one was really hard to do). I really wanted to stop, but since the only thing I really need are some Buzz Lightyear things for the page kit, I didn't do it. No coupon with me for Hobby Lobby.

AWM, I'm soooo with you on the Big Lots thing. Today,I had to take a package to FedEx which is right around the corner from our Big Lots. I really wanted to go in there too, but I didn't. (I love finding good scrapbook deals there.) I still have to use up the previous year's Big Lots deals.

i love my big lots! but both of mine are a bit away, so when i do go.....look out. dh just said last weekend, "hey lets go to big lots. we have not been there in forever!!!" and i just shook my head and walked away. because i know, i'm definitely off the wagon if i walk in there!!!

I have to go to JoAnn's get more paper for the Buzz Lightyear page kits. I don't have enough for 8 mats and other elements. The good thing is there is no Big Lots in that direction. The bad thing is that there is a Target right next to JoAnn's, my LSS is around the corner, a Michael's shares the driveway to the LSS and a Hobby Lobby is on the way home. Not to mention that there is a Dollar Tree in the Hobby Lobby parking lot.

I will be strong, I will be strong, I will be strong.

I had another little stumble I decided the best thng to store ribbons was to get those plastic things you wind embroidery floss round, as I tend not to have whole reels very often. Well, the cheapest place was free postage if you spend £5, s once the winders were in the basket (90p) I added some square brads I needed £1.99 and a doodle template (for all those home-made cards I'll be doing) £3.45. Total £6.34 - BUT I didn't have to pay £2 postage which is money for nothing IMHO! And the stuff got here today before DH got home so all hidden....er.....packed away tidily now

But I've got my 2nd chance swap to play with so I won't need anything else for a bit

Ok scrappers, help me!!! I am going to Hobby Lobby with my MIL this afternoon. They have paper on sale 5 for $1.... that is going to be hard to resist. They only have a 25% off coupon this week (it's usually 40%), so I should be able to resist most other things. Its the paper that I may crater on.

 

[Yzerbear19]

I went to my LSS and used the $10 I had from filling up my punchcard. I was good and only spent $10 for paper I need for my New England book. I was at HL on Wednesday and they had Paper Dolls in stock, but I resisted, mostly because I spent most of my spending money in Chicago and will wait until payday to get it. And it was on my list of OK purchases so I won't be going off the wagon.

Sorta fell off the wagon today. I went to ACM to get some xyron refills since they were 40% off. Got 3 for my 150 and 1 for my 510... about $22. Well i browesed over to the embellies since they were 40% off and picked up about packs of the new american krafts big brads and photo corners. Do I need them... no, but like them. I am just looking at them thinking they need to go back. I also got the arylic stamp journaling set I have been looking at since the end of dec. It was 40% off and I had that on my list of okay to buy.

So I spent about $25 on the embellies and stamp set. Should the embellies go back?

 

[pongoperdigirl]

acrylic journaling set?
at acmoore?

I need one and have been looking for one, who makes it?

 

[NemoMom07]

autumn leaves makes it. I have seen these sets(not the journaling) at Walmart and Target.

Well I dodged a bullet yesterday! We ended up not going to Hobby Lobby- too cold and rainy. So I am still on the wagon.

Sorry I missed your first post yesterday.

For dodging the bullet.

Thanks AWM!!!

 

[Lisa]

I fell off the wagon! I fell off the wagon!! Told ya I was going to. I am taking full responsibility for my actions.

I got not one but two new carts today. On the way, I said to my husband the carts are half price, can't decide to get one or two. He said ah, get two. Okay dear, if you insist!

Who is going to give me a hand getting back up into the wagon?

 

[Kim1964]

OK, Lisa, you fell off and I am helping you back on.........but don't let it happen again, Missy!!!

Which carts did you get?

 

[Lisa]

Can't say it won't happen again but thanks for the lift back up.

I got Beyond Birthdays and My Community. I really like the Beyond Birthdays, gave me several card ideas. Yah, like I make a lot of cards, usually one a year, Mother's Day for Mom.

Welcome back on the wagon Lisa. Now who has the ginormous Crop o' Dile II to make sure she doesn't fall off again????????
