Clearly Sunday

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I'm confused because it's not Sunday yet

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Woman, it's Sunday in certain places. Good enough.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Oh yeah, I always forget that. I'm the center of my own universe

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Did you forget to change your clocks? If you did it's been Sunday for a long time now.

I went to the store earlier. The candy was pretty cleared out but I got DH some Swedish Fish and got some Sour Patch Kids and Dum Dums to donate to SS's therapist. She gives all the kids two pieces of candy out of the treasure chest when they leave. I bring up the leftover Easter, Halloween, and Christmas candy for her.

The checker said they were gearing up for Christmas.

My neighbor is constructing something. Hammering and circular since around 6. He also blows leaves in the dark.
.
Turns out the people I like next door didn't move out. The guy that rents their shed (it's set up as an apartment) moved and someone else moved in. The owner of the house on the other side didn't know those renters were moving because she came over and asked my house sitter when they left.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Our next-door neighbors moved this week. They've lived here for 20 or 25 years. It was nice to have someone watching things when we weren't home.

New owners have not yet moved in.

The house behind me has been under reconstruction for a few years. It's pretty much done. The guy bought it to live in but his wife hates the neighborhood and refuses to move. He is stuck because he has to reside there for at least a year before he can rent it out.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

I would love to move, but we can't afford to fix up the house so it's sell-able.

flan

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I'd love to move as well but I have no mortgage. I wouldn't have to put that much into this place to sell but this is a tough neighborhood and I would have to pretty much give it away.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

It's getting hard for DH to do basic maintenance.

We live in a cookie-cutter subdivision, and the neighborhood has really declined since I moved in. We would both love to move one county west, to a small town!

Just went out to pick up my Sunday newspaper from the driveway, only the ads were delivered, not news sections. Maybe there is no news? confuse

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

The ads ARE the news!

Go swipe the neighbors paper.

I'm having chicken soup for breakfast.

Flan I did that yesterday. DD gave me a hard time about it. It was so warm and yummy!

The customer service line has been busy for 1/2, I can't get through. Guessing I am not the only one who didn't get a paper.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Our newspaper customer service is horrible. They treat people like they are lying when they call about issues with delivery.

I'd say you won't see the paper for several hours if at all today.

Our paper is a waste of $2.

Ahhh, the truck rolled over, totaled. Driver is ok. They are going to try delivering the papers later. So why is this not on their website? Only posted on FB.

We were ONLY getting the Sunday paper and they kept upping the price without notice. If I want the coupons, I can buy the double paper weekly at the store and still come out cheaper.

Around here, I think they're hurting since our prices are going down.

I only use ones for $1 or more. It does help, but it takes time. Sometimes I'll cut them out, forget them & they expire.

I'm not an extreme couponer, but if there is a coupon for something I buy, I use it. And I never shop at Michaels, Joanne's or several other stores without one.

So, the truck flipped and they decided just to drop off the sale papers?

Yeah, I won't be renewing the paper. It is a waste of money.

LOL, the truck bringing the newspaper part to the plant where they are bundled with the ads rolled.

DH uses Miralax & Mucinex & I use Prilosec. They aren't cheap, so coupons help.

Question about Michael's: The coupons I see are for a percentage off on full-price items, and it seems most of the store is on sale.

I got that silly! I am wondering why they didn't just wait instead of making two trips.

doh sorry. Maybe because people wanted the coupons for shopping? I don't know. Does seem like a waste.

I waste more money with coupons. Anything that encourages me to shop more or to spend more time running to different stores costs me money. I have learned that for me, the more I expose myself to merchandise, the more I will just buy. Bargain shopping winds up costing me money. I no longer bargain shop. When I want or need something, I just go buy it. I don't look for sales. Yes, I will surf Amazon but in general I have found that I shop and buy much less, the less time I am exposed.

I don't go to the Mall for fun or something to do. And, when I do shop, I have it limited to a few stores. Walmart and Dollar General for household stuff. If I need clothes, I go to Penny's or Maurice's or Bon Ton. I don't need to run to a zillion stores to find a sale. I don't have time and it winds up costing me more.

A lot of the store is on sale. But, I buy a lot of scrapbooking adhesive, refills, etc. and those are rarely on sale. I go with a coupon JIC what I want is not on sale

As an example, yesterday I went to Joann's. EVERYTHING I bought was on sale except for my trimmer refill blades so I used a 40% on that. And then I had a 25% off my entire purchase, including sale items. Whoohoo! And they accept competitor coupons - I used a hobby lobby coupon at Joanns for the 40% off.

Scrapbooking!!!! Noooooo!!!!!

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I LOVE scrapbooking. But, yesterday was my scrapbooking day and I couldn't because my picture printer was not behaving. So, I made Christmas cards instead. They are pretty.

Oh, that makes more sense. I usually buy craft supplies for work or gifts for the grandkids.
