shopaholic gets frugal

i've been reading the shopaholic books and they are a hoot! i'm not as bad as she is...well, maybe not. i do have a lot of yarn. ;)

i was frugal today cos i got tomato sauce, rigatoni and garlic bread on sale with coupons today at the store. i prolly spent only 3 bucks on the whole meal. we'll get at least 4-6 servings out of it. the boy and i also made biscuit pizzas for lunch. he learned that in cooking at school and really enjoyed it. you take a can of pillsbury biscuits (i got whole wheat, won't get them again, too grainy), pizza or spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese. put the biscuits on a baking sheet, smashing them down a bit to make them flatter. spread sauce, then sprinkle cheese on them. bake at 350 or whatever the biscuit can says, for 12 minutes. they tasted pretty good! of course the boy ate his with mostly cheese and maybe a speck of sauce. no wonder he ate his pizza at school if it had no sauce on it. he's strictly a white pizza kid.

i also went to michael's which just opened up this weekend. the people in there, they acted like they were never in a craft store before! hadn't planned on getting anything, but i had a coupon for half off something so i got the boy a phoenix for valentine's day with the coupon. got some easter things for the boy's easter basket for a buck a piece. the knitting section SUCKS. i did get 6 skeins of ice blue bernat angora blend yarn to make a baby blanket. so much for not getting anything.

also ran to target, got 2 new shirts and a bathing suit. the suit and one of the shirts goes back tomorrow since the suit's top was tight, and the shirt fit weird at the top. i get $40 bucks back, so i won't complain. i still should find a bathing suit. i'm not sure if any of my other suits will fit me this summer (they're tankinis, but lord knows how big i'm going to get, and i'm not one who likes to show off a naked bump.) and i can't guarantee i can get a suit this summer.

oh yeah, i puked for the first time this morning. i was worrying becos yesterday i wasn't as nauseous, i'm not as tired and my boobs haven't been hurting as bad. thank goodness my body has a way of telling me i'm still knocked up!
