(Not at Target, apparently.) Around here, there are a couple of Wal-Mart Neighborhood Markets. You get the Wal-Mart prices for the groceries, but no aisles full of everything else. It's just a boring old grocery store. Anyway, maybe only shop for 2-3 days at a time so you have to go more often? Trick yourself into thinking you're shopping?Drama Queen Jennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16840872010882866647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-20846793028857101742009-04-11T23:18:00.000-06:002009-04-11T23:18:00.000-06:00i love that "cutting back" are proper words. tha...i love that "cutting back" are proper words. that shows how serious you are. gymbucks are an evil form of trickery to make you spend more money (but spending gymboree money usually results in supercute kids) and gymboree is one of the only stores my boys DON'T mind going in because of the tv. have a good easter!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356046957903848490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-63912461633410802832009-04-11T16:20:00.000-06:002009-04-11T16:20:00.000-06:00Shopping is evil.

Funny thing is Voice of Reason may keep me from buying cute little things that I really want, but somehow does not keep me from putting my foot in my mouth at dinner parties, or from saying yes to the one more drink that sends me straight to the top of the bar for some expert table dancing. Well, enjoy your new car and McDonald's sweet tea is only $1. Surely VoR can allow you that?!Dumb Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912124222427415284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-37119094965088660902009-04-11T01:44:00.000-06:002009-04-11T01:44:00.000-06:00Wow, you have nerves of STEEL!

Luckily for me, I've never been a big shopper - I tend to go get a bunch of stuff I'm really excited about, then decide at the last minute it's too much of a hassle and too much money so I end up not getting anything.

It's kind of free? I really do need the internet for work, my kids school homework, banking, emailing, etc. I have found not taking any cash out of the bank really really! works for me. If I have no cash, I don't buy any little junk! Just window shopping never works. You need to find free places. My list of favorite free things:<BR/><BR/>1. Library (books, movies, music)<BR/>2. Parks<BR/>3. Friends houses (as long as there is no stupid!!! party for candles going down)<BR/>4. Grandmas<BR/>5. Zoo/ Science Museaum ( Now I know this is not 100% free. But, it beats the heck out of window shopping which usually means buying an overpriced slushy for he kiddos. Buy the family membership. And, it is tax deductable)<BR/><BR/>Maybe, you could make this your post tomorrow with some other fun free ideas? It is all yours.Hit 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/18043350255090631652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-71432622924193585662009-04-10T18:00:00.000-06:002009-04-10T18:00:00.000-06:00Good for you!
