Saving and spending

DH needs some new t-shirts. He likes the Hanes Beefy T's I've ordered for him recently. I had ordered them through Walmart online, but when I was searching to see if they were the best price, I saw that ordering direct from Hanes seemed to be a little cheaper. Well, dang, it ended up being a lot cheaper. They were having a sale and it seemed the more ordered the more % off. If I signed up for their "rewards" with my email, I would get free shipping over $50. (otherwise $6.99 shipping). I was at like $42 (for 6 of the t-shirts he likes) so I decided to see what they have in women's tees and found one where I liked that the bottom was curved some. Well, with all the discounts I still ended up under $50, so I added another color and was still under 50. To get over $50 I ended up adding 3 tees for myself plus a lightweight hooded zip up sweatshirt. So, 10 items for a total of $54.60 plus I get back 2% from Rakuten and 3% from Paypal, making each item just over $5 cost. Good deal!

Last week I ordered myself some casual pants (for the cruise) and now I'm in the Kohl's Cash loop. Now I have $10 to spend. As long as I find something by tomorrow, they are still offering free shipping, otherwise it wouldn't be worth using the $10 to me because I hate paying shipping. I just don't know what to get that's in the $10 range.

The day back at work, after a week off (but only missed 3 work days, due to our office being closed last Thurs and Fri), has been very busy. Especially because I had to hit the ground running first thing, getting payroll done. Lots of emails to get to. It's annoying when I set up an out of office message and someone emails me wondering why I haven't taken care of something, LOL.

Way back, when we had our lawn sprinkler system installed - I'm not sure why, but I guess dh didn't get everywhere done, or he just missed putting some where he thought he'd need them, I don't know, but I guess he told the sprinkler guy some time ago, if he's ever out in our area again and has extra time, to stop in and add what dh wants. So, the guy (he's actually dh's childhood friend) called today and said they were in our town on a job and would be done around noon or so and then come to our place. So, a huge crew showed up and looks like they are done now. It sure didn't look fun doing this in 100 degree weather. No idea what this is going to end up costing.....Grrrr. It would have been nice to have a bit of notice/warning. But, it will be nice to have it finished and dh won't have to be using hoses and sprinklers on the areas he has been. Plus, one area behind our garage (that was already done) that always has a dry spot, they quickly diagnosed a sprinkler head that was buried, so they fixed that.
