V Day Prep

Valentine's Day has been hanging around my neck  as it fast approaches.  An old beau once said that I "had a sense of occasion," and it is TRUE.  Had to concoct something!

And - it's DONE!  Yeah team!  Very easily, too - the Pier One (right around the corner from me) was having a SALE and I got $90 worth of stuff for $30!!! They had lotions and scented candles and drink mixes and so on.   Very nice - and very much discounted! So I have a "spa" V-Day all set up. 

I had no idea that Pier One had skin care and so on - It's in unexpected places like that that you can get good deals!

Hubby is also Scandinavian in origin and has sensitive skin like me, so he is always using "lotion," as he calls it.  And usually he buys bath products for ME - so this is his turn!

And I found a nice valentine at http://www.freeprintablevalentines.com!!!

All the elements of an intimate evening - including some champagne for ME. (He gets to choose among the drink mixes as he is a staunch AA'er!)

Now that sort of buy, I do like - it's the only time I actually SHOP in such stores - when they are having BIG SALES. And you know, the 3/4 off is more or less of a rule of thumb for me.  I calculate that I save 3/4 off on many of my purchases.  It helps us live nicely on an educational salary - with some room for niceties!
