We made it to Home Depot and Lowe's today to start picking up fertilizer, weed block, weed killer, etc. I'm always amazed at how much it takes!

Home Depot was $140, but between two g/cs from the holidays and the g/c from mypoints reward ($50), we ended up spending $12.

Lowe's, $100, but had quite a few g/cs from trial memberships, so spent $0.

Costco, sigh, we purchased some bulk items, which are cheaper than at the other places. Like Holly Tone and slow release plant fertilizer. DH couldn't pass up 2 DVDs, always a temptation since they are smack in the middle of the store. I haven't even HEARD of these two movies, the comedy I wanted I resisted. But..$150.

So, lots of stuff, and work to do, pretty good savings, but still SPENT.
