Here we are on the last weekend of the month, Halloween is tomorrow, and Thanksgiving will be here in a few short weeks. EEKS - how did this happen so quickly?????
We are having beautiful weekend here in Indiana. Last week we had some mornings that we needed to run the furnace a cycle or two. This coming week, both heat and AC will get to be off. YAY. We are to have upper 60's and low 70's all week! I am sure loving this.
It is giving everyone a little extra time to get all the fall yard work done - and who doesn't need extra time for that?
I have had a roller coaster of a week. Many highs and lows and much laughter and tears. I guess this is how it will be TILL it's not! So I will graciously accept it a day at a time - as the "NOT" will be too soon, no matter when it comes. I hope you all appreciate your family and friends and give them a hug when you can.
I have the crockpot going this morning with Mexican taco chicken, laundry going, and getting ready to go out and do a little work in the flower beds before the sprinkles come in.
My biggest frugals this week were my Kroger savings. I ran to the feed store and passed a Kroger I have never been in before - sooooooo I needed to check it out!
- I got 8 cans of various veggies for .19 each (scratch and dent)
- 2 boxes of Oreo's for 2.50 each. Each box had 10 packs of 13 cookies! That's 260 Oreo's for $5.00. I couldn't hardly buy a package of cookies for that!
- I got many different packs of candy for .75, .49, and .25.
- 2 non-stick cake pans for 1.75 ea.
- L.E.D. light bulbs for $1 a package (I have enough bulbs now to last for years)
- No-cook pectin .25 can (freezer jam) - (good till 8/2018)
- Liquid pectin - .10 box (2018)
- 10 cans of refried beans for .25 ea.
- Pita bread .25 a pack and several loaves of bread for .25 ea. (for drying for dressing or croutons)
Not a bad haul!!!
- G has a little stool that he uses to roll around on in the house instead of using his big power chair. The rollers were starting to go wonky - and he figured out a way to fix them very cheaply. Beats spending $80 on another heavy duty stool! He's so handy.
- Had the furnace check done this week. We are good to go for the winter. It was paid for at the beginning of the year as our yearly check-ups, so no money spent this week.
