7:50am
Can you believe about 10 minutes before heading
out to the bus stop I decided I wanted to wear
one of those pair of jeans I had in the tote from yesterday.
They were too long so I measured and cut off the excess
length then hot glued a hem on them.
Nothing like custom tailored pants right before
walking out the door, lol.
I don't sew hems into pants anymore. It is so
much easier to hot glue them!!
I've been doing this for years and they wash
and dry just fine without coming apart!!
11:45AM
While I am feeling better I am still
not in a shopping mood. I didn't even have
coupons today and still got flustered. Maybe it was
because of shopping for Thanksgiving along
with every other person doing the same.
Started out at Meijers. First off the turkey deal
kind of sucked. They didn't have any of the larger
turkeys. They did have the smaller turkeys that
if you bought $20 worth of stuff they gave you $9 off
them. Even with the $9 off it still made these
turkeys $10 or more so I didn't get any.
Today is the second day starting their sales
for this week. Some things were out of stock.
I needed these things and didn't want to feel
forced to buy higher dollar items for smaller amounts
of food. I got to the point I put half my cart away
and only got a handful of things. Me and mom then
went over to Kroger to finish our shopping.
At least their items were in stock and a little cheaper.
Then from Kroger we went to Dollar Tree.
I wanted some canned pie filling and wasn't ready
to pay the almost $3 a can price in the other stores.
I found it for $1.00 a can at Dollar Tree.
Also while there I picked up some bags of
dried tropical fruit, dried banana chips,
caramels and a package of assorted nuts all for
a buck of piece. I would of hated to see
how much these would have been in Meijers
or even Kroger.
I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make
my rice krispie granola bars, banana bread bars
or somoa bars after seeing the prices at Meijer.
So after finding the ingredients at Dollar Tree
I was a happy camper!
Now the only thing I didn't find at any of the stores
was the coconut marshmallows which was a bummer.
Well I need to run down and pull my turkey from
the freezer before I forget.
I got some kosher salt today. So Wednesday morning
I will rub the turkey with the kosher salt
and then put it into a pot of water and let
it sit overnight before baking Thursday.
-------------------------------
When heading out this morning I saw
Speedway's gas had dropped to $2.59 overnight.
I'm thinking woo hoo.
That was until I returned home from grocery
shopping about an hour and a half later
to see it jumped up .30 cents to $2.89
in the blink of an eye.
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!
--------------------------------------------
I just saw a black friday ad for Pep Boys.
Those jump start boxes I just got
are going on sale for $22.95 then
the $10 rebate to make them $12.95!
I'm thinking about taking mine back
or having them adjust the price of the one
I bought and getting another $10 back!!
They will have Peak 50/50 antifreeze for $6.00
then a $5.00 rebate to make them $1.00 each.
Limit 2
regular $11.99
Castrol 5 quarts motor oil + filter

Tonight's supper
BBQ Chicken Leg Quarters
Mom gave me half a 10 pound package of chicken.
I still have 2 more 10 pound packages of chicken
in the freezer.
I cut the skin off the chicken then coated
it with some leftover bbq sauce found in the fridge.
Then Jonathan had drank only a half can
of pineapple juice this morning so I poured
the remaining juice over top.
Might make up some baked potatoes in the
microwave to go with it.
5 pound bags of potatoes were $1.00 at Kroger this week.
chicken $1.30
leftover bbq sauce free
pineapple juice free
4 potatoes .50 cents
TOTAL COST FOR SUPPER $1.80
----------------------------------------
Still working on cleaning house
and putting things away.
I got most everything set out on the counter
that is an ingredient for Thanksgiving dinner.
Got the turkey out of the freezer to start thawing.
I went through and wiped down my entire
couch and currently have a fan sitting
beside it drying it.
It's microfiber so to clean should be
a matter of wiping with a wet rag.
Oh here's the kicker, Tony has the pager
unexpectedly this week and I don't know for how long.
One new guy at work claims, out of the blue, that
his doctor told him he had a hole in his stomach
and needs surgery. He recently got the stomach virus
and missed work due to that last week. So that's the reason for the pager.
So stayed tuned to see the results of this
and if the guy shows documentation to work
for his sudden absence.
------------------------------------------
6:20pm
Got done cleaning out the fridge. I bet some
people wouldn't think to clean out the fridge during
the holidays. But think about it, how many others
are going to be getting in and out of your fridge to get things?
Ain't it amazing what kind of gunk will accumulate
underneath that crisper bin?! Yuck!
Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment to
check up on my toe. I will also fill him in
on the ER visit and congestion. Why not
get it all done on one visit is my thinking rather
than making several appointments and forking
out more money!
Oh yeah and tomorrow is the day we go pick up
our fixed car. But I have said that how many times
already? It's for sure coming home fixed or not
to be able to show it off to the in-laws
on Thanksgiving.
----------------------------------------------
Haven't even had Thanksgiving yet but
I'm thinking about leftovers.
This is Tee Jayes Split Roast Beef.
I'm so doing this with leftover turkey!
-------------------------------------------------------
I am starting to get into the holiday baking mood.
I was thinking about apple pie filling and
what I could do with it.
How about apple pie filling on a folded tortilla
with a mixture of cream cheese & sugar,
fried in a skillet.
Then pour this sauce over top.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and simmer 3 minutes. Pour sauce over enchiladas and let stand 30 minutes.
