10/02 Busy Busy day!!! Started with taking my friend shopping for the day. Went to KMart what a huge toy sale they were having. I did a huge layaway and got 5 of 30 people done for Christmas. Spent (per say) $203.00 and saved $180.00:cool1:. Placed $25.00 on that. Went to a few other stores she wanted to go to, but, I only spent $58.00, $54.00 in groceries and $4.00 at the Dollar Tree. Got home long enough to relax for a short while and then had to take the In-laws grocery shopping. They treated to dinner out.

I'm doing a volunteer food demo for my church this saturday and we're making fudge and chocolate balls. I had to buy all the materials and make up the sample goodie bags earlier this week and I'm going to be reimbursed on Saturday. My last $5 is going to this event to pay for the materials necessary to make a Christmas craft. So I'm now broke and will have $0 for the remainder of the month. So I'm going to cheat a bit and post ahead...ya can't spend what ya ain't got!
