Curse Words, and Cheap Gas

Curse Words:
So as you all know Ty is coming to my work this summer and he is involved in their school aged program. Well they are doing all kinds of field trips this summer, the zoo, parks, gyms, and also movies. They will often times take the kids to the cheap theater. Recently Miss Holly, the teacher came back from a movie with Ty and came into my room and said "we were sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start and Ty said "Bitch", Holly said she said to him Ty, what did you say?" Ty said, look it says "Bitch,...and pointed to the back of the seat in front of him...someone had nicely carved the word on the seat in front of him. :) Yes they take the kids to a very fine establishment located here in Nampa. But what can you do the movies are only $1. The drawback of having you kid be a good reader early in life. She didn't say anything about him having to sound it out :)

Cheap Gas:
So in my new frugal ways today I was able to save over $6 off a tank of gas. When Joye and I do our crazy coupon shopping at Albertsons, they do a thing where you get .05 off per gallon of gas for every $50 you spend. And you can build it up to $1.50 off per gallon. The great part is they count your total BEFORE coupons and sales. So when we did that deal for $92.00 that was almost .10 per gallon. So over the last month I racked it up to .50 per gallon. We used it on Matt's car since he is driving soooo much for work. Gas was $2.61 a gallon today, but we got it for $2.11 saving over $6 on his whole tank of gas!!! Not a bad deal huh? Just thought I would share, I was pretty proud of that one. Any little bit we can save on Matt's gas helps he is all over the treasure valley right now.
