10/27 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*Rimmel Stay Matte liquid lip  This isn't drying, which I love.  I hate matte lip products that make your lips feel like a desert and then crack when you smile.  This liquid doesn't.  It lasts for hours, too.  Color Be My Baby is a very good MLBB, so a new fave for daily use.
*Roc Daily Resurfacing Disks  LOVE these!  My skin *feels* good and I swear it looks smoother after just a couple of days.

Finals
*Herbal Essences argon oil shampoo  Smells amazing, makes my hair soft, adds a bit of volume.  This is a good daily shampoo that I will repurchase.
*Maybelline Falsies Push Up Drama mascara  This doesn't add volume, but it's very black and adds a lot of length.  I loved it as a top coat over a volumizing mascara and will rebuy....when I run out of my mascara stash.

Faves
*Rimmel lip, Roc disks

10/23 Money Monday

I received a $5 rebate, which went into savings.

We sold our no longer needed sofa table on OfferUp.  I was going to list it at $50 and hope for the best.  Husband actually listed it and he priced it at $75, thinking he would come down.  Just a few hours after listing, a couple wanted it and paid $75.  Glad he posted this one!

Daughter wanted to be Corpse Bride for Halloween.  The costume at Party City is $30.  Nope.  I suggested she be 'inspired by', rather than try to imitate.  We hit Goodwill and found a dress for $6 that will work perfectly AND can be reworn as a church dress after the big day.  I already had glittery tulle that we're fashioning into a veil and we found roses with spiders at Dollar Tree.  For under $10, she's happy.  Creativity over overpaying for the win!  And, let's face it, it's mostly about the sugary loot and hanging out with your friends anyway. ;)

10/9 Money Monday

Received a $20 rebate, so deposited it into savings.

Used BP Rewards to lower my cost per gallon on a fillup.

10/2 Money Monday

I took my younger two to the zoo for one of the final days of the stingray exhibit.  STL Zoo is free....mostly.  Admission is free, but parking is $15, visiting the stingrays is $3/person, etc.  It's good to know that the exhibits/areas that have a charge are free during the first hour of the day.  Naturally, we always go first thing in the morning.  We parked on the street instead of the lot.  Yes, we walked a bit (maybe 1/4 mile) farther, but FREE.  We got there during the first hour the zoo was open, so the stingrays were FREE.  I did pay $1 for a cup of fish for my son to feed the stingrays, because that is just super cool to do. lol  We strolled the gift shops and each smashed a penny, which is a tradition.  All in all, we spent $2.02 and had a very lovely 3 hours together, making memories.  After our zoo time, we stopped at QuikTrip for pretzels for each of us and a big soda for each of them.  I had a coupon for one free soda, so our bill was just under $7.  For under 10 bucks, I am calling this outing a very solid win.
