Sleepy Sunday

Sunday is always a mixed day for me. It's the day to do laundry and dishes and all that stuff but it's also the day to watch movies and read my weeks worth of newspapers. Been subscribing to the Journal & Courier for years. Besides getting the news and - best of all - the comics, I also get the sales ads and coupons. Food prices are up and apparently coupon cutting is getting popular again. There are always quite a few each week for products I use. Watch the store ads, too. Macys often has percent off coupons in the paper. Hobby Lobby and Michaels have them in the Sunday paper on a regular basis. Many of the restaurants have inserts with coupons and you can also find them in the Friday entertainment section. Target, Kroger, Kmart and the drugstores periodically give you a gift card if you transfer or bring in a new prescription. Lots of ways to save money! I think I save more than my subscription costs most months.

Anyway... My friend, Pam, wanted to go out to dinner. Olive Garden sounded good. I love their spaghetti and meatballs. We shared some pumpkin cheesecake and it was heavenly! Only one bad thing - I asked about a senior menu or discount and they don't do that. Too bad! I might go there more often if they did.

My friend, Carol, emailed with the tip of the day. Kohls is offering seniors an extra 15% discount on Nov. 26th.

I ate all those carbs and am falling asleep now. So my sleepy Sunday ends. Hope yours was just as nice as mine! Take care!
