I finished the pillowcase for my Mother in Law and sent it off on Wednesday for Mother's day. The cost of mailing everything of course as risen ($34.00 for the large box). She is worth it though and we are so blessed to have her.
Price of gas rose very close to $5.00 a gallon on Wednesday night here in Michigan...
Anyway, we had decided to go on Tuesday morning and filled up two cars with $1.00 off a gallon at Meijer. We saved $30 that day ...it would have been more if we had waited. We find that the money off gas is the best deal on MPerks. There are other deals to buy with the mperks but the gas to us is the best deal.
We also bought a lot of the $7 for 7 deals last week. The apples and corn was our favorite deal...4 corn on the cobs for $1.00 and 2 lbs of apples for $1.00. By the way, the same deal is running this week.
Free things this week (kind of)
I made a big spring salad with lettuce, green onions, and radishes from my greenhouse.
I also picked some asparagus and chives in the garden. Not sure what to do with just 5 stems but I was excited!
We stopped at some M15 sales that were out early on Thursday. I picked up these egg cartons for free plus a few other things. Egg cartons are running around .74 each so I love it!
We are going out again this morning to see what we can find. M15 garage sales in Michigan are 67 miles long this first week of May. Although we have to figure in the price of gas...hopefully we can find something that will make it seem like a deal that we went. 😃
