Happy Memorial Day from the gals at SiS!

Happy Memorial Day!

SiS would like to thank all of our military men and women living and passed for their service.  Because they serve, we are safe here Stateside and are free to shop and save in Spartanburg and elsewhere.

May you and yours have a wonderful day and pause to send a prayer of thanks for all of our armed forces and their families too.

Monday Musings...and such ~ Memorial Day planting, anyone?

Good Monday Morning!

Happy Memorial Day to you!  I'm thinking it's going to be a great day of food, friends and poolside fun!  Do you have plans?  BBQ in the making?  And/or desserts galore?  I love these "laid back" holidays. 

Whether you are going to a neighbors or having people over, the gals at SiS want to wish each and everyone of our military families a day of rest.  May they be filled with a sense of gratitude for the service they and their family members have given to our great country.

If you are starting your yard and "bonus" housework (you know, the things you put off all winter/spring long, but have to do) check out the sales at Lowe's and Home Depot.  Lots of paint and garden center deals waiting for you!

And if you are looking at buying plants, be sure to check the racks near the back of these departments.  Both stores mark plants down and you know that's where I've purchased most of the things that are growing (and thriving) in my yard.  See my previous post HERE.

I've saved plenty of money by buying a plant that needed a little extra TLC and have taught my kiddo's how to take care of them too.  Call it our "earth science" lesson at home.  It's neat to have that sense of satisfaction when I see plants that I paid less than a dollar for, have come up again and again and give our yard color and fragrance too!

Enjoy your day and time spent doing what ever you choose to do, and if you're planning to be out shopping, let us hear from you what kind of deals you see and buy!

Happy Saving In Spartanburg!
