In these past few months I've learned to be frugal again. Not that I ever was a crazy spender. My trouble was all the little less than $10 purchases that "couldn't hurt". Anyway, the other day I went to Barnes & Noble with my boyfriend so he could get the latest book in the series he has been reading. Well, no trip to the bookstore is complete without a trip to the craft section. Lately, I've been thinking about trying yet another craft so I was searching for books on embroidery this time around. My favorite book was one of those items that I would consider a small purchase at only $15. Not bad for a book! Instead of buying it on the spot however, I did a sneaky thing. I took a picture of the cover of this book and a few others with my phone. In the innocent sense, this will help me to keep a list of the books I really want. On the other hand, as soon as I got home I searched the local library catalog online and found two of the books and immediately put them on hold. I picked them up from the library today and again am so excited. Now I just have to wait for tomorrow to get all my supplies at JoAnn's. The coupon isn't good until tomorrow after all.
