Where are my finances this week ?
Exactly where I want them to be, no bills came out of my account this week, my Groceries are where I want them and my mad money was used to get my nails done. Hubby gave me the $20 to cover the contribution to work for the flood victim. tomorrow I am going to write about where I an going with my debt repayments this year,but till then it,s all about this last weeks spends. But before that I have to tell you about the fantastic bargain I got today.
I was in my local Kmart when the staff brought out a trolley full of packets of candy canes, there were 10 canes to a packet and they were selling them off for 10 cents for 10 packets, that,s right 100 candy canes for 10 cents. I could,nt resist them and my grandchildren will love them. Has anyone got any ideas what other things I can do with them ???

You had a good week.
ReplyDeletebrake up the candy canes in to little bits and put them in a class jar so when you next have hot coco you can sprinkle them on top with wipe cream to have candy cane coco! Well done with you finances!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you can crush up some candy canes and mix them in cakes or icings for a nice peppermint flavor. Though today (where it is snowy with negative wind chills here) I think Sarah's hot chocolate idea sounds pretty appealing!
ReplyDeleteHey Maureen,
ReplyDeleteI'm trying out the spending diary...love the site, but how do I cut and paste the exact report to my blog? It's not giving me the shaded areas.
Nevermind, I actually figured it out! :)!
ReplyDeleteAh ha - another convert to Spenddiary lol! An uneventful, non-billing paying, low spending week is just what we want! Good for you Maureen:)
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm...what would I do with 100 candy canes? I have to be honest here, I LOVE candy canes...I am just imagining stirring my coffee or hot chocolate with one...yummy!
great deal on the candy canes! I'm heading off to try out spending diary now...
