Today I mentioned to DH that it looks like we're adding another "very expensive" medication to our oldest daughter's list of already costly things (Flovents runs us $150 a month, albuterol runs us about $40 and now we're adding Veramyst for about another $50). DH told me not to worry and he'd be happy with clothes that I can find for him from the thrift store and that "we'd make it work."
I stopped by the pediatrician's office to pick up another sample of the Veramyst and a $20 coupon. Our hospital has a resale store associated with it - and boy, was the thrift store karma good today for my DH!
It happened to be 1/2 off all clothing and I got DH two like new polo shirts (one Tommy Hilfiger, the other Izod) and Nautica jeans, right size all for $10.70. I saw a very cute and summery Dooney & Bourke barrel handbag in hot pink for $25, which I was too frugal and prudent to buy. But when I was at my mom's I was on the phone and telling DH about his bounty, my mom heard sad conversation when I hopefully asked if accessories and purses were included in the "sale of the hour" and I was told "sorry, but no". My mom said she'd like to buy me the purse and we went back and it was still there.
Some very nice thrift store scores today indeed!

I saw a Vuitton pursue with matching wallet at a garage sale for $40 this Saturday. Had it been priced lower I might have been more tempted. But for now, I have my Goodwill Coach bag and am not feeling any purse cravings!

Any chance the medicine companies would give you a break on the meds? I know some companies advertise they might be able to help.
