Spent some time looking through Ibotta and figuring out my strategy for saving money (on stuff that I need anyway). Onwards to the stores!

Want to learn to make soy candles and give them as Christmas gifts this year. I saw some gorgeous tins to use for candles.

Woke up with my alarm at 9 AM. Promptly ordered dry cat food.

Hmm. When I wasn't drinking diet cola, I didn't get headaches. Now I'm drinking diet cola, and voila! Headaches. Maybe I need to phase it out completely. Or maybe it's more humid now. Today is the first day that it's been uncomfortably humid. They're also predicting storms, so it could be the barometric pressure.

Went back on Amazon. Ordered Spark Joy and The Complete Book of Home Organization. Also bought the jewelry organizer and supplies to make laundry detergent.

Hmm. I thought about lying down to get rid of my headache, but I need to go to the store. Don't want to go tonight because it's supposed to storm. Hmm. Need to look at my list. I can feed the girls with more wet food in lieu of dry.

I did lie down for a few minutes. Decided to go into work early and go to Walmart over dinner.

Apparently, there is a subReddit for Eating Cheap and Healthy. Need to check it out.

Ran to Walmart over dinner. The majority of the stuff that I bought had an Ibotta rebate or a coupon. Go me. I bought a small package of the generic version of Claritin to see if that makes a difference in my headaches. If it doesn't work, I'm not out of a lot of money. Also discovered that Walmart is carrying Blue Buffalo dry cat food. If Zara will eat it (If?? She's picky), it would be more convenient than ordering Purina Pro Plan, and it's good food.

Picked up some laundry detergent at Walgreens for $1 off. It's a small bottle, but I've ordered the ingredients to make my own detergent, so it should be okay. Walgreens also had some L'Oreal shampoo and conditioner that I wanted to try on sale.

Holy cow. Found the bike helmet that I liked on REI's site for half-off on another site. And this one is lavender! Far out. Just need to check the size. I think that I fall between two sizes though. It pays to shop around! Found a taillight set with turn signals and headlight set with a horn on eBay. Don't need them until I relearn to ride though. Do need the helmet. Aargh. I need a medium size, and I can get the medium size only at full price on eBay. I can get a beige one for $10 off on the other site. Need to sleep on this.

I'm feeling hot and cranky. Going to bed soon and getting up early, blah, blah, blah.
