We woke up early, had breakfast at home, and then hit the road by 8:15. By 9, we were at Walmart to pick up new socks for Todd. His are all holey and worn out. It's been over a year since we got him new socks. We used the balance left on a gift card and then paid $9 and some odd change out of pocket. Todd now has 14 new pairs of socks and puppy has flea medication for 3 months.
Then, we went to Gordon Food Service. I have wanted to make a recipe from another blog of sesame chicken. Well, we had no sesame seeds! Our local store didnt have any and neither did Aldi's. Gordon Food Service has 19 oz. for $7.98. I was not willing to spend that much on sesame seeds. So we went on our way.
The next stop was to see my old house in Akron. It is all beat up and it breaks my heart. I put my blood, sweat and tears into that house. There was an Asian market around the corner from my Akron house...and it didnt open until 10. DOH! It was 9:30. So we went to our favorte thrift store in Akron. I ended up coming home with 4 new shirts for work and a new pair of brown dress shoes. All for $7.75!
Todd came home with 2 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of jean shorts and 7 t-shirts. Some of his t-shirts were $0.75. The one pair of jeans was $0.90! His was more expensive at $20.98 cents after all was said and done. And we picked up a $2 wine rack. We make so much wine, it will definitely go to good use!

Afterwards, we went to Marcs to look for sesame seeds. Low and behold, they had 11 oz. bottles for $0.98! We bought 2!!! I was so excited and so glad I didnt let Todd talk me into buying the ones from GFS.
Then, off to my dad's house we went. We spent about an hour and a half there seeing my dad, his wife, and Natlie. Oh how I love that little girl.
After that, we went to Todd's parents house and visited for a couple of hours.
Target, the Record Exchange, a couple other stores and then we went to sushi.
Busy! Busy! Busy!
But we had a great day.
I have never shopped for sesame seeds, but I am always surprised in the disparity in prices of some foodstuffs. Good for you for getting them at a better price. I keep reading that ethnic food stores are a better buy.
