Errand day today. We hit the library first and it was closed due to water damage... very sad! Then we tried to find the phone company and drove around for about twenty minutes... it ended up being across the street from the library... Mapquest did not provide a very good map.

Next we headed off to US Cellular to pay our bill, which we couldn't pay there. The clerk told Spyros he could call in to pay though. Since we didn't get charged to do this (at least I don't think we did... I'll make sure to check the bill), we'll probably do this everytime to save postage.

Then we dropped off the movies and went to Shopko to exchange an item, but they didn't have what we wanted in the correct size so we got a Gift Card. We bought some carb bars on sale and with a coupon, and a couple of other items we needed, using the GC.

After that we went to Copps for groceries and they were less then normal because we have to cut back on expenses and groceries are usually the easiest place to begin. Before we were getting deli meats and cheeses... but no more. We have a meat slicer (given to us by Mom and Step-Dad) so we can buy a ham, etc... and use the slicer to cut it up for lunch meats.
Plus before we were buying more expensive cuts of meat. Now it has to be $1.99 or less (with the occassional treat and more expensive seafood items). With the less expensive meats they can be tough when cooked, but this usually isn't the case if you cook them in a slow cooker... so I'll be using that a lot more. Plus with the summer months it will keep the house cooler.

Well I'm off to call my Mom so she can give me the Avon order and I can use the computer to send it in....
