Today a local grocery store had eggs on sale for 69 cents a dozen. With the hungry swimbabies, we eat a lot of eggs. I dragged all those kids plus The Husband to the store... Yeah, it was limit one. But it didn't say one per person or one per household... just "Limit 1." So I assumed it meant per transaction. I gave everyone two quarters and two dimes and let them keep the change!! Haha. They can appreciate a deal like this, so they were quite willing.

The new car is getting great gas mileage, especially on the long commute. Yesterday, I went to a Safeway gas station, used my club card to get 20 cents off per gallon, and got premium gas for $4.01 per gallon. Not really a deal, but far cheaper than anything else I could find. We are still debating/researching the "Use Premium Fuel Only" label. We have another car that said it required premium, but I gave up on that at some point long ago (said car has over 200.000 miles). I've heard different things from different people. Any opinions/advice out there on regular vs. premium gas?

Our pretax spending account... we over-estimated this year. I had hoped that I'd get a kid or two into braces in 2011, but they weren't quite ready. So today The Husband ordered a new pair of prescription sunglasses, so as not to waste the dollars. I've just emailed our doctors to request refills on all the regular medicines we take for things like allergies and eczema, and we have dentist appointments the first week in May. Unfortunately (fortunately, really), our health and dental benefits are so good that we don't pay much out of pocket, except copayments to the doctor. The last time we all went to the dentist, I think our insurance covered everything but something like $8.00 for six people. I have consultations for the two younger swimbabies at the orthodontist for mid-May, and may yet get them into braces in time to pay part from that account. For some reason, our pretax account isn't by calendar year. So we have until June 30. If only it covered pedicures... which are good for my mental health!

It's still sunny and warm here! The husband calls it "margarita weather!" So for dinner we're having guacamole, salsa and make-your-own burritos to go with our icy beverages!
