Coupon Envy — I want those DISCOUNTS

As you all know we were one of the unfortunate victims of the flood. While most of our appliances worked fine, our furniture were not all as lucky. Our cabinets were all damaged. We’ve replaced some of them but some still need changing. Ruy’s mom was having things done in her house so she offered to have a cabinet made for Andrea.

2 weeks ago we all trooped to Ace Hardware to get everything we needed for the construction. We bought paint and hardware for the cabinet and that already cost over 1000 pesos. That didn’t even include the wood and the cost of the painter and carpenters. Sheesh. I have forgotten how expensive construction is. I was literally drooling with envy at the Ace Hardware coupons of the lady beside me. I WANT THOSE COUPONS! I can already imagine the things I’m going to have made if I had those coupons. It took every inch of my willpower not to grab them from her.  I’m drooling just imagining the savings and discounts those coupons would give us. Oh well…thsoe of you who want to give me something for Christmas, here’s a not so subtle hint =)

I’ll post pictures of the cabinet later. You’re going to love it. It’s cuteness personified…err cabinet-i-fied.
