Nice Easter Weekend. EF Additions.

April 10th, 2012 at 07:54 pm

We had a very nice weekend staying home, dying eggs cleaning the house up and cooking. The weather was lovely. We had a relaxed visit with my mom and dad. Dinner was delicious.
I hope everyone had a nice weekend also. Smile

I almost had to go all around town to find egg dye. On Saturday I went to Safeway for groceries and planned on getting dye there, but they were all out. (I seem to remember that's what happened last year too?) Later in the day we ran over to CVS and they were out except for a few (like three!) "fancy" sets. I like the $3 sets with dye tablets, stickers and a few shrink wrap things. This set was $5 and had feathers and glitter. But it had the dye and that's what we really needed. I told DH that I need to remember to buy early next year because dying eggs is a big deal in our town!

I also cat sat this weekend and made $50. I am splitting this between EF and a CC payment.

We have a chunk (approx. $4k) in the EF set aside for the roof. To help me keep track I am just reporting "regular" EF additions and balances here.

$2975 prior balance
+ $25 Regular transfer
+ $ 2 Giants win 4/9
+ $25 Extra money
------
$3027 Current balance

    You could find dye on clearance now and save for next year! I've done that and had no problems. My cousin used koolaid this year and there are lots of natural ways to dye eggs...such as beets!

    We used kool-aid this year. All you do is add to water. No vinegar is needed as the kool-aid has citric acid in it. I believe I got the kool-aid on sale 20 for $1 so very economical. The colors can be mixed to achieve different hues also.

    Thanks ladies!
    CCfree - I would buy the dye now for next year, but none of the stores I've been in lately have any. I bet beets would be really good. I didn't even think of them and I have some in the fridge.

    Momma -I've heard koolaid is good. That was my back up plan. Smile

    You can dye eggs naturally by boiling things like carrot skins, blueberries, beets, lemon peel, broccoli, etc. In a pinch.
