I had to go into the "big city" on Wednesday. I really needed a certain color of yarn but that Walmart ended up being out and my normal one doesn't carry it. Hoping to get it at the Walmart near church on Sunday. I also needed to use a rain check and some coupons at Shaw's before they expired.Here is the breakdown of my trip.

Out to Eat for 44 Cents
We have something called Deal Chicken. It is like Groupon but it seems to have better and more local things for me.

It is on the way to the "big city" where I go to Shaw's but we … [Read more...]

As promised, here is an update on what I think of it.Pros:-Easy and cheap to make-Cleans really well, even on Matt's work clothes-Easy to use-Lasts a long time Cons:-It appears I am allergic to Felsnaptha.
