My ideal mother's day would be not having to do my daily chores and having a nice supper made for me (that I don't have to clean up after!).

Think about taking care of the house for the weekend. Do the laundry, vacuum, clean the bathroom (my absolute least favorite chore!). None of that will cost anything. Then take the $20 and buy the fixings for a nice family sit down supper. Even if it's just spaghetti with a meat sauce, some biscuits and a cake or something for dessert.

If you're careful to use the sales at the grocery store to your advantage, you can manage to get everything for a nice supper and maybe a card telling her how grateful you are that she's your mom (I would love to hear that!) and still have some change left over.

Locally, here's what I would have to spend on the supper I mentioned above: spaghetti, maybe $.50 on sale... sauce, I can get it for under $2... some ground round, maybe $3 a pound (your biggest expense)... premade biscuits, depends on what kind you want, basic biscuits store brand could be as low as $.29 a tube (at a discount store)... cake mix and icing, maybe $2.50 for the two (again, use those sales!)... and then a nice card for a dollar or two. If you have anything left, some flowers or a framed picture of the two of you or of you and your siblings if you have any.

I would love this!

(I'll have to show this to my husband!!!)

Good luck,
bound (mom)

this is what i got at target: cheap and easy:

*nice wooden picture frame: sale $3
*really pretty bracelet: *8
*nail polish: $0.97 each!
*manicure set: $3
*candle: $10

do a combo of any of those things for under $20~

and at my target they have a dollar section which is great because you can do a combo of a lot of things that looks like a lot but theyre only $1 each!

have fun!

Hey I know my mom would like this and it is very inexpensive. You could go to a nail salon and get her a gift certificate for $15. Which means she could get a manicure which is usually $10 and she could get a french which is usually $5 extra. Hope that helped!
