			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a bunch of stuff rattling around in my mind and thought I&#8217;d let you in my little world.  <img src='http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I had to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/frugal-friday-8-10-ways-to-save-gas/">fill up with gas</a> today.  It&#8217;s $3.25/gallon!!!  :sigh:</p>
<p>I stopped at another <strong>discount grocery store</strong> we have here.  This one isn&#8217;t as nice as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/find-a-local-discount-grocery-store/">the one across town</a>, but I picked up a few things.  The store also carries some clearanced out Kohl&#8217;s clothing.  Today I picked a fleece jacket for my daughter and a Thomas the Train robe for my son.  Each were $2.99.  I know it&#8217;s hard to imagine buying winter stuff when it&#8217;s so warm outside, but this is one of the things that saves me so much money.</p>
<p><img align="right" src="http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/files/2008/04/1.jpg" alt="reusable bag, reduced size" />Lowe&#8217;s Foods finally has more of the <strong>reusable bags in stock</strong>.  I mentioned them a few weeks ago and they&#8217;ve been out ever since. Did you folks go and buy them all????  lol  I had about 2800 pts, so I used 2500 pts to buy 2 more bags.  Now I have 4 bags.  As I said before, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/get-green-points-with-your-reusable-bags/">these bags</a> hold a lot more than regular plastic bags.  Each time I take these bags back to Lowe&#8217;s Foods, I&#8217;ll earn another 200 pts (50 pts/bag).  Hopefully, if I get one more bag, I won&#8217;t have to use plastic anymore.  &#8220;Oh happy day . . . &#8221;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget about <a target="_blank" href="http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/do-you-bring-your-own-bags-to-the-grocery-store/">the poll</a> to the right.  <img src='http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It is so stinkin&#8217; hot that we&#8217;ve had to <strong>turn on the a/c</strong>.   <img src='http://www.blisstree.com/thriftymommy/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />    Next week it&#8217;s supposed to be a bit cooler though.  I like it when we don&#8217;t need any heat or air. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m making <strong>chicken parmesan</strong> for supper tonight.  I need to share that recipe with you all sometime.</p>
<p>Well, I have a ton of newspapers to go through so I better go. What are you up to today?  Do you have any plans for this weekend?</p>
