Debit or Credit?

In the past 3 days my debit card has had more action than Hugh Hefner at the Playboy mansion. Remodeling, I am discovering is quite the little expensive project! Is it worth every penny? Absolutely, but can't Home Depot have a sale for "Broke-ass-twenty-something-year olds-with-no-clue-what-they-are-doing"? Maybe throw in a discount for being cute? Just an idea Home Depot...just an idea. In fact Home Depot, you may be able to reach a whole new demographic when you have said sales....

Amongst the list of what we purchased?

Paint: in Bittersweet Chocolate, Red Delicious, Seal Gray, Macchiato, and Basketry (I don't know about y'all but maybe we were hungry when we were choosing the colors of our house. 3 of the 5 are names of food and or drink. Pretty, never the less.)

Paint pans, liners, roll-y thingy-s, and paint brushes: All completely useful entities. The painting part however, not so much fun.

 Primer: Or in other words, good luck getting that shit off your clothes. Maybe there is a reason why it goes on the walls before you paint...because it's not coming off.  And for 65.00 a bucket, it probably shouldn't...

16 packages of hinges: Of course, the wrong 16 packs of hinges that we will have to return because we thought we were smart and could attach the cabinets from the inside. Thank god for PeterVella Adult Kool-Aid in the flavor of Sangria considering each hinge was about $3.50...

Cabinet Handles: Word to the wise, purchase in bulk, we saved a whopping $7.00, which undoubtedly will go towards the "Wine Fund".

Lot's O Stone:  For $23.00 we will be building our very own fire pit in the yard when the cool weather ensues.

Mums: I had a chick moment. Although the house is a disaster in the inside, I felt the overpowering need to make it look pretty on the outside. For $9.98 a piece, I bought two, HUGE hanging mum plants that make me smile. Even if my joints, body, etc, aches...

Carpet:  Great find at an even better price. $29.99 at Southeastern Salvage. These kind of stores are amazing for the new home owner....Home Depot again, take note.

Lights: for Kitchen and Hallway: Lowes 21.99. A REALLY good find.

ETC. Miscellaneous: Food, drink, wine, toilet paper, hand soap, air fresheners, and Energy Drinks...

TOTAL: too much to count, but we are starting too see a vision of a home...which I guess I could say is "priceless." And no Visa/MasterCard, I am not stealing your slogan...unless you want to sponsor such endeavor of remodeling...
