Usually I don't seem to get many really good deals when I'm shopping, but lately I've gotten a couple and been so impressed with myself. On Sunday, we stopped at Kmart for a couple things, and on their clearance racks they had a pair of girls' winter boots for $3 (normally $30). They're about one size bigger than what Accalia is wearing right now, and I just couldn't pass them up. So, I'm really, really hoping Accalia's feet don't grow too much over the summer.

And today our free DVD player arrived in the mail. Well, in reality it probably cost $2 or $3, but I'd say that's pretty good! We got it through FreeDVDS.com The way this works is that you earn enough points for free DVDs or even a DVD player by signing up for various programs, credit cards, etc. I think you could manage to do it for absolutely nothing, but a few of the programs I signed up for charged a $1 non-refundable processing fee. I was okay with that, though, since we can't afford to pay full price for a DVD player right now and it's not something we need. So Cory set it up after supper and after we walked Lucy. Thankfully we had the Spiderman DVD that Cory bought the day it came out (even though we didn't have a DVD player at the time). He's a bit of a fan :)
