Labor Day Weekend was CHEAP!

So, I had a weekend without my boyfriend and wanted to have some fun!  So, first I painted my toenails, because he hates the smell, and I've needed to do it!  I washed my car at the self service wash..so satisfying, then went to the Farmers Market, which is my fave thing ever.  

I bought all of these beautiful flowers for $5!!  It makes my apartment sooooo much cuter, and just general happiness settles over me.  And it made me want to clean, since everything looks better clean and with flowers.  

I then realized that I had no vases and went to the Goodwill and scored all of these great clear glass pieces to group for $6 for 5 vases....and on top of that, I found a great dress for $9!

Farmers Market!

We just moved to San Diego, CA (not the cheapest city in the world)...so I am trying to find new ways to save $$.  A great source of entertainment is the Farmer's Market.  We go to the Hillcrest Farmers Market.  It's a great sunday morning event, lots of people watching, good smells and great to talk to the actual people that grow the fruit & veg.  And it all tastes WAY better than the stuff at the grocery store, especially the peaches and cherries!

What we bought:  

8 huge bulbs of garlic $2.00

3 avocados $3.00

1 big bunch of green onions $1.00

Artichoke hummus $5.00 (a little pricey, but it was our farmer's market splurge and we ate it all the day we bought it, totally worth it)

Huge loaf of cheddar & jalapeno bread (from Bread et Cie...delish) $5.00

Bowl full of limes (about 6) $2.00

Bag of lemons $2.00

Bowl full of jalapenos $1.50

And there is so much more to buy...or taste for free!

Next week I want to get plants, herbs to grow at home.  $2.00 per pack!  I can't wait.
