Money Saving Challenge 1/1/11

Husby and I woke up yesterday morning and decided to head out to New Bern and run some errands.  First we returned a Christmas gift I received to JCPenney and got a gift certificate in return.  Then we headed to IHOP for breakfast.  Husby had been talking about it for a couple of days and I had a buy one menu item get one free coupon so I decided to treat us to breakfast.  Husby had the breakfast sampler and a coffee.  I had an orange juice and the stuffed french toast combo.  Our total came to $23.55 - $8.69 (for husby's meal) and our total was $14.94 we left a $5 tip bringing our grand total to $19.94.  We also went shopping at Target and Big Lots.  Husby bought the stuff we picked up at Target and he used a gift card to purchase the things we wanted at Big Lots.  I won't be incorporating husby's purchases into my MSC. On the way home we stopped at Bill's petshop to pick Persie and Louis up a cat toy and some cat nip.  My total there was $7.35.
We had spiral ham for dinner with homemade mashed potatoes and a salad.  I got the spiral ham on sale a couple of weeks ago for $10 and was able to send in a $10 rebate for it. Nothing like free ham!
