What a steal!

Yesterday I went to Lowe's to finally cash in on a gift card that my aunt gave me for my birthday back in August. I wanted to get some tile and grout so that I could tile the floor in the closet where my washer and dryer are kept. I only needed about 20 square feet, so I figured it I kept the tile to around $.95 a square foot, my gift card would cover most of it. So I picked out and some grout and when I got to the register, the tiles rang up at 10 cents a square foot! For porcelain tile! So I ended up getting all my tile, some grout, and some spacers for under $10! But now I have to go back and get a new trowel because the one I have is for wall tile, and the notches aren't big enough for large floor tile.

Also, I used my dryer for the first time in over a year last night. It was wonderful! I dried some towels and my sheets and a few tee shirts. I forgot how soft the dryer makes clothes. My sheets are so soft now! Hooray! And I was trying to get some pictures off my camera, but it's taking forever, so I guess I'll post them later.

wow! I LOVE bargains like that. I am such clearance hound, and love when I get more for less.
I'm glad you put your gift certificate to good use.
Hope all your tiling and cleaning go as planned.

Score! It is always so fun when something like that happens. That will be a fun project for you while you are between semesters. Good luck with the tiling. It should be a piece of cake after the kitchen project.
