Budgeting

Hi there folks!

It's Wednesday! And I'm wondering....

Have you or would you use generic drugs to save money? Where do you draw the line (if there is one)?

If you celebrate Halloween, did you make yours or your child's Halloween costumes or decorations to save money?

Have a great day!

Yep, I use generic prescription whenever I can. I'll use generic otc cold/flu meds sometimes if it's a good savings. I always buy name brand Advil or Aleve.

DD16 doesn't go out anymore. DS13 decided to go this year. (I just leave it up to him. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble and is polite he can continue going.) He's just wearing camo clothes as a hunter or army guy, whatever he comes up with. I do have to buy him boots, but he needs them anyways for this winter. So other than that, I'm not spending a penny on trick or treat. I like it that way. LOL

Oh, yes, I use generic drugs whenever one is available. I think the generic is the same as the brand. The drug manufacturer's right to brand a new medication expires after so many years, opening the door for generic versions.

I bought a witch dress about 10 years ago and have worn it many times. Also, my sisters sew very elaborate costumes and I get their hand-me-downs (some things never change!).

This year, I will just cut a Jack-o-lantern face out of yellow felt and stick it to my belly on a black shirt. But, only if I can figure out how to make it stick without ruining my shirt! Any help?

<update: I ended up drawing a face on a red t-shirt and going as Hey Kool-Aid!>
