The budget has been stretched to max in the past cupla days - but that's not really anything unusual here.
Did a big shopping expedition on Thursday - dunno where the hell it all went, but now not game to put the van over the scales!!
Washed the van & awning yesterday morning, then the Cruiser in the afternoon... big buggers, both of em !
This morning we did a final vegie/fruit shop at the Local Woolies... & as we walk in noticed a sign saying "Spend $150 & get 20c/L off your next fuel purchase. Looked at the Navigator & she shook her head, saying "Won't be spending anywhere near that amount after Thursdays effort!" So we continued & as the trolley started filling my grey cells are ticking over & I reckoned we weren't gunna be too far off that $$$ figure.
Chose the self checkout & as we were getting close to the bottom of the trolley she looks at the amount on display & says... "We can go this... I'll just go & get summat else."
Comes back a moment later wit a magazine. Nope not quite enough. Back few seconds later with another box of cereal & some salad stuff. That did it!
So, when we next fill up - irrespective of the price per L - the cost is gunna be at least $24 less than shown on the pump.
And yes, I know you don't really save a lot... but it's a mind game & she likes it.
Tomorrow morning at 0930 we us stakes & head to Jugiong show grounds for the first night then on to Police Paddocks to catch up with Kay & Bruce - think Lesley & Erich will probably have already departed for Little Annie by the time we get there. Possibly into Little Annie on Wednesday.
