Gotta love a bargain!

Yesterday afternoon Princess and I went shopping, nothing too exciting, just bill paying and grocery shopping. Actually I have to confess, I LOVE grocery shopping! It takes me ages to do it because I have to go up every aisle and look at EVERYTHING. The baking aisle, and the cleaning aisle really throw me into a joyful spin! lol Love it! I know, I need help. Or medication. Therapy perhaps? hehehe The other reason it takes me ages is that I do a monthly shop. Two trollies loaded to the brim, then I only have to top up weekly with fresh fruit & veg, milk & bread. But the exciting thing (well for me, but I clearly have "issues"!) is the bargains I found before hitting the supermarket. I got these gorgeous little glass hanging things (what their original purpose is, I have no idea, but I've hung them from the dining room curtain rod) for 5 cents each. Their original price was $6 each and I got them for 5 cents each! Then I whipped into the fabric store for more supplies to make another cushion (the pink one in these photo's), and I stumbled across/pounced like a Ninja onto their bargain bin where they had all these do-it-yourself books going out for $2 each. I got $85 worth of books for $8! Pretty cool hey? So here's a picture of the finished cushion, the pink one, laying next to the green one I did last weekend. And here is Paris Fifi laying in her bed, wrapped up in an old baby blanket because this is how she is while her Momma has the air/con blasting fridgid air through-out the house PRETENDING that Autumn is just around the corner! Ok, I had better shake my tail feather and get hopping. I now have a month worth of meals to cook, and a month worth of cakes and muffins to bake. It will take me all day and into the night to get it all done, but it's wonderful having a freezer full of delicious homemade things ready made that I only have to add fresh vegetables, a salad, or pasta/rice to it to make the meal complete. Ok, I'm off.....strapping on new cupcake apron right now!
