What has been your best ever bargain...

[Marigold2]

I would have to say birth control for me and the pets. Helps the planet from A to Z.
So many unwanted children in this world looking for a home and so many animals as well.
I had three kids and raised them, private school, designer cloths, all the sports and lessons they could have. Swimming, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Guitar, Girl scouts, Boy scouts, Brownies, Key Club, Ski Club, Acedemic Challange, Exchange student for 6 weeks, my son went to Germany for 6 weeks, tons of birthday parties, sleepovers, playdates, baseball games, thousands of pitchers of Kool-Aid. I was the cookie baking, baby sitting mom who always had extra kids at the dinner table. Three was enough for me. Three for homework help, three in braces, three for baths, home cooked meals every night. Running off to a game or having to drive them here there and everywhere. Because mine spent part of their time in private school I had to drive them. If we would have had more I would not have had the quailty time with each to spend the time with them they needed. To fly a kite together, bake cookies, practice throwing a baseball for an hour. Just a normal day.
As for the animals it's the same thing. You have to have time to spend with them everyday. I try to spend a half an hour with Benny everyday. Somedays I can and somedays not. We also have now 4 cats, a hamster a bird and a rat. I always give them snacks or treats and spend time with each one, but it's hard.
