More Shopping on Thursday

On Thursday, I went shopping!  First, I went back to the fabric store.  Yesterday, I had a 50% off one regular price item, which expired yesterday, but, I didn't find anything for a price I wanted to pay.  Today, I went armed with a 20% off the total purchase coupon; it was valid on sale items as well as regular priced items (I had it with me, yesterday, too, but it didn't go into effect until today).  I like the 20% off total purchase, including sale items, coupons because everything I bought was on sale!   

Fabric and Yarn and Thread, Oh, My!

I bought some fabric for the baby quilts, from the "take an additional discount" shelves to get the best prices; the original prices on the fabrics ranged from $6.99 to $9.99 per yard:

Elephants in Circles; Cotton Flannel; $1.46/yd.

Animal Alphabet; Cotton Flannel; $1.46/yd.

Adventure Balloons, Cotton; $2.79/yd.

I bought two yards of the Elephants in Circles fabric; the background is a pinky beige, and I think it would make a good backing for at least one of the baby quilts.  The alphabet fabric has a beige background; I bought one yard of that and one yard of the air balloons fabric.

In addition to the fabric for the baby quilts, I also bought a yard of the Halloween cats fabric, regular price $10.99 on sale for 40% off, to make something for one of my cousins:

Cat Costume Party; $6.59/yd.

Sewing thread was on sale for 40% off the regular price of $2.99, and I bought three of them for $1.79 each, as one can never have too many reels of white thread!

Finally, I bought five balls of wool, on sale for $3.47 each in the clearance yarn bin.  In a shade called  New Denim.  I debated long and hard about buying them!  I saw them, yesterday, picked up three balls, and put them back, because we all know how much I need more yarn, don't we?   LOL!  After I came home, I looked up the regular price of this yarn - $7.99 at this particular store and $5.99 at a different crafts supplies store.  Today, I decided that $3.47 was a good price (since they were clearance items, the 20% off coupon didn't apply to them).  There were five balls and I bought them all! 

Wool Yarn

$3.47/100% Wool

I'll knit myself another warm, wool sweater for under $20!

My total came to $37.34 with sales tax:

Fabric Store Receipt

I also received another 50% off any one regular priced item, valid Sunday-Wednesday, 9/22-25.  I just might go back, next week, and see if I can find something else for the quilt.

Then, on the way home from the fabric store, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up the cans of tuna on sale for $.50 each, some milk, and a new bottle of ketchup as I had come to the end of my current bottle. 

9/19 Groceries

I bought 12 cans of tuna in water, to share with Dancer!  Grapes were $.99/lb, so I bought some black grapes.  I also bought half a gallon of milk.  Then, I checked the reduced racks and bought a package of 6 pita breads for $.99, two 1 lb. packages of pasta for $.49 each, a package of something called "brown butter" cookies, regular price $4.99, on sale for $2.00 (turned out to be similar to butterscotch chip cookies!)  My total came to $17.95.

9/19 Grocery Receipt

Friend R had said she might come over in the evening, but, she called to say she was too tired after a full day of work.  So, I am spending a quiet evening, relaxing and watching TV. 

Today's joyful activity was the return visit to the fabric store and finding some bargains.

Today, I am grateful for:
- Coupons!
- Finding more bargains
- Safe driving
- Pleasant weather (highs in the mid-80s)
- Learning how to knit

Tomorrow, I have my follow-up appointment with the oncologist.

How was your Thursday?  What are your plans for Friday?
