Good Deal

Hello Everyone:

Another quiet day.  Like that.  I went back to the park today to work out.  It was good session, albeit, not much on the cardio because of my ankle.  The ankle is better.  I'm walking on it more and tried to run a little more on today.  Anyway, tomorrow I have play the dutiful daughter and go with mum to the doctor.  It's what I have to do to stay in her good graces especially if I want something, which I do.  Since I said I would go with mum to the doctor tomorrow, I had to do my grocery shopping today.  No big deal, right?  Usually, yes but after I got what I needed from the store, I headed over to the nearest pharmacy to pick up a few things.  The best part was I had the right combination of coupons to save 76 percent on the bill.  Nice.  The original total was something like $33 and I ended up paying $9.70.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Now that's what I call being frugal.  Frugal is knowing when to spend it wisely and when to save it.  The key word is wisely because it's easy to spend money on nonsense but it takes real thought to spend it wisely.  In this case, good planning on my part in making up my grocery list, loading coupons on to my card, a coupon from the newspaper, and taking advantage of a couple of specials.  That left me with enough money for coffee and a newspaper.  Yay.  Alright dinner time.
