I am going to be cutting back some on holiday gifts - just seems silly when most of the people ONLY show up at Christmas!! So I am definitely cutting back.<br /><br />The trivet sounds neat and I am sure you will find lots of uses for it.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-46057997598739477132016-05-16T12:15:29.933-04:002016-05-16T12:15:29.933-04:00Church sales are usually good here too.

Good for me.<br /><br />I truly hope to get our garden planted soon.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-2387374197319130552016-05-16T10:26:33.488-04:002016-05-16T10:26:33.488-04:00I envy your finds!

I think this year will be the year of knitting for me, but next year I hope to have enough spare cash to begin giving the kinds of wonderful gift baskets you do at the holidays! What a great buy you got on the soda stream, and wow on the other items!<br /><br />TGMan brought home a cast iron warming trivet from his mother's house and we found a power cord to make it work. I am sure it will become a useful object for us in the kitchen, perhaps with a stoneware bowl to keep cheese fondue warm.

I love going to garage sales that are put on by a church or organization there is so much more a variety of things and prices are usually really good.<br />So glad to hear your brother is improving. Glad to hear he is persevering.<br />It has rained here the last 2 days, good for the garden although the weeds are doing well too. <br />Been eating leftovers here also.<br /> LaurieShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669706520501609006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-67233752830324307912016-05-16T09:26:31.412-04:002016-05-16T09:26:31.412-04:00Hello Liz.

That means so much.<br /><br />Yes, it is funny how many things are different yet the same around the world. I am the same way when I read about certain this - I need to look them up!<br /><br />In the end, we ALL want a happy home, we want to do what we can with what we have, and we all want to save money.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and wishing you a wonderful week as well.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-200769839214269622016-05-16T07:30:57.116-04:002016-05-16T07:30:57.116-04:00Hi Cheryl, Glad to here your brother is doing a bi...Hi Cheryl, Glad to here your brother is doing a bit better. I lit a candle for him at church last Sunday and am keeping him in my prayers. There seems to be a lot more special sales and discounts in the US than in Oz and we don't have discount coupons. Everything is so expensive here. I do enjoy hearing about all your bargains and what you are up to. Sometimes I'm not sure about some things all you U.S. and Canadian ladies talk about and have to google certain things as they are sometimes called by different names here (for example I read in one of your stories about cleaning registers and had no idea what they were until I googled!!). It is fun to hear about your everyday lives. We all might live in different parts of the world but we are all so alike and have the same worries and enjoy similar things. Hope you have a good week. Cheers from Liz in Cranebrook Australia.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099350855060909102noreply@blogger.com
