Good Deals

My dishes and silverware are in storage in another state. And I have been unable to get to them for a while. I haven bee buying paperplates, bowls and plastic silver to eat with. Hoping to hold out until we can go get them. Today I stopped in Walmart and found a very nice set of Corelle w/green trim and ivy on it. It was marked down from $30 to $15. It also included drinking glasses. They also had silverware at 50% off. I was able to find two decent sets for $11 each. After calculating the cost. Even if I can't get my stuff for at least another month. It was cheaper to purchase these and wash them then to keep buying disposable. And I don't like using disposable. Lots to throw away and I can never get the plastic utensils clean. They always look like they aren't clean. We have 2 plastic plates I bought at Target at the Valentine's Day 50% off and the 4 of us fight over those plates. So, it's done. I believe that it will save money and frustration in the long run.
The time change was this past weekend and it is really throwing me off today. 5:30 came awfully early this morning and now it still seems early even though it's not.
I have also been trying to figure out a way to dry clothes. Going to the laundromat is not fun w/2 kids and using the laundromat where we live is sometimes expensive. You can't add a quarter at a time to add time you have to add a $1 at a time. Also, there is not a timer on the dryer so I am always running back and forth. If my dryer stops anyone can take my clothes out and lay them in the laundry room. Anyway, I have a washer but my dryer is kind of a joke. So, while at Walmart today I got about 6 hangers that have the clips on them. When I got home I took all the clothes out and hung as many up as I can. Most of them are already dry. I have looked at several folding racks. The cheap on at Walmart didn't look like it would hold up to well. I found one at Ace but it was $27.99 and I'm not sure I want to spend that much. We are not allowed to hang out clothes outside here. So, I am going to try this for a while. The wind seems to blow here quite a bit. Maybe I could hang some stuff out at night.. Will have to experiment and see what works best without being obvious.
