Yesterday I took Hormone Boy to his Diabetes Halloween Event....he had so much fun. While he was being just one of the kids mommy dearest when to look for some bargains.
This is the first year I am making Halloween costume for my son. I used to go on eBay or Disney Store and buy them. I realized, that I will not spend $40.00 on a costume that my 7 year old will wear for few hours.
The Little Peanut decided that he wants to be a Happy Scarecrow this year. He knows I dislike scary and violent costumes so he made sure he told me that he wants to be a Happy Scarecrow......Happycrow he called it.He explained to me that if he told people that he wants to be Happycrow they wouldn't understand him and he is in no mood to explain to everybody his mom's costume rules so outside the house he shall call himself HAPPY SCARECROW....bless his little heart.
So I visited my favorite Salvation Army thrift store for some old clothing I can make the costume from. I found 3 pieces at $1.00 each (pants,vest and shirt). Tonight I will attempt to make my first costume...so make sure you come back tomorrow for some good laughs.
When I was in the thrift store I noticed how many people are there shopping....not for costumes, but everyday things. I love to go to that particular store once in a while to see if I can find something interesting. I've been going there for years and everytime I went there was few peoples here and there, maybe 3 cars in the parking lot....Well, this time the parking lot was absolutely full and people everywhere. I guess that is the perfect picture of the times we are living in. It made me little sad...
Anyway, while looking for some costume pieces I also found some other great items. I was so stoked...
I also found brand new Denver Hayes turtleneck for Mr. Misery for only $3.00. I love bargains like that, don't you?
After I picked up Hormone Boy we headed home and since it was getting late and Little Peanut had hockey practice I stopped at McDonald's (or Rotten Ronnie's)for a quick bite. We ordered to orders of fries and chicken nuggets.When we got to the car the take out bag was soaked from the grease. The fries inside were dripping with oil and the chicken nuggets were lukewarm.For those who were in doubt that McDonald's makes their nuggets from chicken doubt no more. Hormone Boy found a bone in his nugget....we'll have to see and wait for the DNA testing of the bone if it's a chicken bone for sure.
Shame on you, McDonald's...this was the worst meal I had in a long time and talk about waste of my money.
....It's 4:07pm and I am finally finishing this post.
Today is my BFF's day off and the wonderful Mr. Misery called her and volunteered to watch her baby girl for the day so her and I can have Girl's Day out. We went to SuperWalMart to stock up on groceries and Halloween goodies.
Thank you Mr. Misery....we had fun.

How nice of Mr. Misery!! Mr. Hot Flash won't even do that for me.
What a day! Bargains and a girl's day out! Life is good. Too bad about Mickey D's, though.
Mr. Misery is awesome! My mom is a great Thrift shopper. I see only junk and she bring out wonderful stuff. My kids benefit from her hobby.
One time I got so sick AFTER eating at Mcdonald's I got so sick. High fever and nausea! YECH! I don't eat there anymore.
I love thrift stores too! Such great deals!
I can't wait to see what the costume looks like!
There is a great satisfaction to be gained from knowing that you bagged yourself a bargain!
You deserve a girls day out, and your hubby is great to give you a break!
Ew that McDonald's meal sounds terrible! Years ago I had a chunk of unidentified something in a McNugget and I haven't been able to have one since.
The deals you got are fantastic! Maybe I should try some of the thrift stores around here.
