Surprise...Our Own Pumpkins!

Thank you DH for taking the time to peek at the garden today and coming back with this great surprise, 3 pumpkins! Next year we'll plant them earlier, as you may recall our local paper The Blade told us the 2nd week in June was the best time in NW Ohio to plant your pumpkins. Personally, we feel that was too late, we'll try at least 2-3 weeks earlier next year.

Mall Freebies Over $85 Retail

I ventured out today, Oregon school district had no school due to fog so I had Kristie to help me hobble along. First we had lunch with my oldest daughter Jessie at Boston Market, we used the great $1 coupons for the chicken dinners. I had water to drink but Kristie had a pop, fyi the small pop's are $1.79 each! Overall still a bargain.

Next we headed off to pick up my new glasses, the ones with the non glare coating. Eye Mart said 2 weeks to get in, only a week, a bonus plug for them.

Since the mall was so close we hobbled off there to finish picking up this month's freebies. We both got the Victoria Secret panties priced at $7.50 each, so $15.The coupon was from Pink Nation, hope you printed yours early, because there is now only a $10 off bra coupon with this. Also DH received a $10 gift card for his birthday (ha, ha ) to Victoria Secret so I got Kristie a $10 duo lip gloss set. $25 dollars so far. Then we headed to Ulta for the Seventeen Homepage giveaway. We went earlier this month, but they said they were out, however Jessie works there and told they got more in, so we both got the $30 mascaras! Our retail price for these at full price amounted to $85! I can honestly tell you I have never, nor will I ever pay $30 for a mascara!
