Glasses!
Today the arm came off m y husband's reading g l assets. He on l y needs glasses f o r reading and has no other faults in his eyesight apart from the one's due to old age. So off we went to the dollar store where he was able to get a new pair f o r a dollar and a kit to repair the old ones. Two dollars spent and now he has 2 pairs of g l assets. Not bad for being on holiday which is practically the on l y time in ThayeR he has time to read. He said that his eyeglasses will b e his USA souvenir !

Grocery shopping
We went to the local food co_op for grocery shopping this week. I did a careful inventory of what we already had before e we went, especially as USAShoestring had asked us to leave some home cooked meals in the freezer for him so he could have them after we leave on Tueesday. I'm pleased to say that it all came to 42 dollars and 45 cents. So I am getting better as the time goes on ! I expect that we will still pick up a few things whilst we are on the road back to the airport next week but the total should still be a lot less than previously. Just as well as I still have to shop for the rest of the month once we get back to the UK !

No spend day
Yesterday it rained all day, very hard !
If we had been camping we would have had to go out and spend money on an inside attraction, just to stay dry. This time, because we are staying with USAShoestring we could just stay in and have a free movie afternoon and read on the porch. Harrah for a no spend day even though the weather was bad !

Vegetable Seeds
The WiFi connection over here means that I can check my email everyday. Into the ,in, box today came some special offers from vegetableseeds.net. They have seeds you can plant in August at special prices of 25p or 50p. I ordered 10 packets of the 25p ones and paid 1.50 postage and packing. Four pounds seems very little for I hope enough veg to see us through the winter, now to make sure that r

Cabin baggage
We saved over 90 pounds by only bringing cabin luggage. The cheap flights we found charge extra for just about everything so taking camouflage only was a good way to save. We knew that USAShoestring had a washing machine so it was fine just to barring a few clothes and we wore the bulky stuff like walking shoes and fleeced on the aeroplane. The other way it saves is that we so little room whenever I see a souvenir I take picture instead as that is all I have room for, so no souvenirs ding ! The one thing I do regret is that our bags are ones you have to cArry and t h at is hard on the arms so I have been looking out for cheap. Cases o n wheels, no luck so far but I will keep looking !
