Most people would say that this picture is their image of Spring.
But here in PA, this is what we see in our mind's eye when we think Spring.....
Every year on the 1st Day of Spring, Rita's Italian Ice locations give away FREE Italian Ice!
Now how cool is that?!
I remember one year after we moved here, #2 son was in Kindergarten, which was a half day affair at that time. I took him down to one of the local Rita's after school for our free Italian ice. It was rainy/sleety and cold as a debutante's stare, but we had to get our ice! Heck, we could have stood in the parking lot and held our cups up and gotten our own ice thanks to Mother Nature, if you know what I mean.lol
That year even sitting in the car shivering with the heater on, we still had to get our ices.
Unfortunately, today we missed out on the free ice. And it was the most beautiful 1st Day of Spring on which to eat an ice. Warm as puppy dog kisses it was....
So how is everyone doing staying on budget this month?
Since we are 2/3 of the way through March, I sat down and subtotaled my receipts for food/toiletries spending for the month.
I'm at $202.59 as of 3/20.
The rebates that have come in this month so far total $150.60.....goooood rebate month!!
After the rebate money is deducted, my spending total so far for March is $51.99.
Woot!
10 more days to go.....

Great job so far!!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. And you have been my inspiration to better. It has been a slow learning curve for me but I think that I'm getting better. Den and I went to Wags, CVS, and Jewel. I got 5 boxes of cereal, 3 air fresheners, 3 toothpaste, 3 cups, Easter grass,3 bags of candy, 2 balls, 12 little candy bars, and they paid me $6.10 to take it. The only problem is Den got a $75 speeding ticket! So once again, I lose!
ReplyDeleteOh and I became friends with one of the women that works at our CVS. I give her any extra coupons that I have and she points out anything that I have missed. How great is that!!!!
