Yesterday I went to the dollar store and grocery store and I stock piled.  I bought 4 - 100 oz laundry detergents. I bought candles, we have bad ice storms here (I'm in the south- no snow just ice- go figure) and our power goes out a lot.   I bought lots of cleaning and beauty supplies. I bought a lot of frozen foods (or foods I will freeze).  I am stocking the pantry and freezer.  I also did a little Christmas shopping too. 

I did all this and saved $20 using coupons.  I had coupons for brand name and store brand (my grocery store does this on their products sometimes).  I have this plan that by the end of this weekend I will have everything I need so I won't have to shop until sometime in 2007.  From my previous blogs, you will see a pattern. Retail shopping scares me.  I am basically a hermit who likes to hibernate during the winter.  I even won on Ebay a box of 127 romance books ( I love these) so I don't even have to go to the library - unless I need a non-fiction fix.  Getting back to hibernating- I wish I could lose half my body weight like a bear. Ahh to wish and to dream.

As always "See a Penny Pick it Up - and put it in a JAR!!"
