I was in Walmart the other day and noticed the shelves at the front of the store stocked with school supplies. Having worked in a school for many years, this “warning” was like seeing Christmas stuff in October. It seems so early and yet reality is that it’s coming up soon.

The warm spring mornings feels like I should see yard sales everywhere. Tables on people’s lawns filled with all sorts of goodies to be explored. When you’re crunching a budget, these little ventures can be a gold mine.
