A true no-spender today!!!
I have started doing my parents laundry since DD1 is working a FT and a PT job and wont have the time anymore. I finished 7 loads for them and just have a few more tomorrow...the reason so many is 'cause there was almost two weeks worth to do, plus blankets and throw-rugs. They want to pay me to do this for them, otherwise they will take it to the laundrymat...what is it about parents and their pride???? Cant i just be a good daughter and do this for them???
We ate leftovers for lunch and dinner, so basically FREE meals!!!
I also had some very ripe (pretty much BLACK) bananas...so I looked up a fun recipe for pumpkin banana bread...which included all the yummy 'fall' seasonings...nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar...ummm..YUM. So I made two loaves of bread. It sure made the house smell great today!!! I shared some with my folks and will use the rest this week.
and then just enjoyed the no-spender!!
Not much exciting in the mail...I did get the ABC christmas catalog...but didnt really see anything I liked.
I am expecting several rebates to come in this week and next...looking forward to adding them to my challenge!!!
Have a good one!

About parents...mine are exactly the same way. For years I have shared my couponing stuff with my mom, and she ALWAYS tries to give me money for it. Silly parents, let us kids take care of them every now and then!!!
