Saturday's Savvy Shopping - Day 17

I love Saturday's always have.  I don't what it is about them I guess it's a non working day so you can shop all day LOL.

Today we had a bit of a sleep in because we got woken up by my MIL ringing at 8.11am and we were too lazy to race down the corridor to grab it so we fell back asleep and got up about 10.30am LOL.  She called back at 12 so that was good. 

Sleeping in late means everything else is late for the day - late breakfast which is good and a later lunch too which means less snacking 'hopefully' around 4pm if your home.  However we were going out at 1.30pm so no sooner had we finished breakfast it was time for lunch - being a cheapskate and eating at home before we go out - also just means less crap that the children keep asking for!  We had roast beef sandwhich's left over from last night! Yum!  

Hit Kmart and returned a pair of sandshoes that 'I' bought on my 'own' thinking DD12 would fit into - silly silly.  Of course they don't fit and in store she didn't find any others that she liked so we had to get a 'store credit' which was fastly used because DS9 tells us that he wants new shoes - now this buy doesn't like to shop at all so when he will say I want new socks or shoes then you buy!  We did happen to get DD12's proper school black shoes for formal uniform days so that was good.  So the whole shoes only cost me $4 with the credit note.  

The Inlaws invited us out to the movies today to see Les Mis and that was amazing.  The paid for our tickets so a big THANK YOU to them.  We did our usual trick of going to HJ's and buying a frozen coke for $1.  Today we scored 1 for free as I 'checked in' with my HJ's Phone App and we won a free frozen coke.  Coolies.  We also bought some lollies at Kmart to take in.  I was thinking I remember going to the movies when I was younger and thinking how exciting it was that I got to buy a WHOLE packet of lollies from coles to take into the movies with me!  I felt so rich having that many lollies.  Now it's just something we do all the time LOL.  Of course buying the lollies from Kmart I only remembered after we had already paid for the shoes LOL so back in we went, felt like I was walking around in circles ... hmmm funny that!

Outside of Kmart were some people collecting for the Bushfire Appeals they were all dressed up in Star Wars costumes and looked so good, apparently they are a fundraising group.  I gave them all the coins I had which was only 75c but still it felt good to give something, the children still enjoy putting coins into the collectin tins!

Home for dinner as hubby didn't want to eat out I probably didn't really want to either as I know we are meant to be watching our $ and I'm glad we came home we had Sweet and Sour Chicken and it was yummy with dinosaur pasta! LOL  You can't get that at Cafe Primo.

I've also realised now I will have to hit Coles tomorrow as we have no potatoes, carrots, milk, (Hmmm), bread,  and probably something else I'm missing.  At least I will get triple flybuy points!

On telly tonight is James Bond so it's like another free movie for us today.  DS9 said I can watch it with him so that's exciting as he's a daddy's boy.  

Hope you had a great Saturday xoxo
