1-3-11

Starting today I'm gonna try to save all receipts
throughout the year for grocery shopping alone
to see how much we spend over 12 months time.
Won't be easy as I might forget sometimes
or misplace a receipt but will give it my best.
I'm gonna get a gallon zip bag
and label it grocery receipts and place them
all in there.

Might do a Meijer grocery trip this week
so here are some Meijer coupon match ups I found online.

9:00am - 2:30pm

Been at the dentist office with mom.
Still have to take her back tomorrow at 11:00am.
Then go back Thursday.

Sooo, looks like this week Wednesday
will be grocery shopping day.
That'll give me an extra day to make up
my list and round up any coupons :0)

Well gonna go lay on the couch and rest my eyes
til the bus comes. I stayed up late last night
trying to finish everything.
I was falling asleep in the dentist's office
waiting room!

-------------------------------

Well I guess about 35 minutes of resting
my eyes will have to do.
I awoke to someone knocking on the door.
It was a friend of the boys saying
he was locked out of his house. I let him in and let him
use the phone to call his dad.
Dad's on the way home and so is this kid
now. He actually lives a couple blocks from here.
So it's good to know this kid won't be outside
in this bitter cold!

It's 3:45pm. I threw in the second
turkey pizza I had made. Yeah, I know,
we had turkey pizza yesterday and are
having it two days in a row.
I'm just that tired to make anything else.
I really wanted some pork chops done up
in the crock pot with some sauerkraut.
Maybe tomorrow.

One thing I do have to do is make
some bread cubes or croutons.
I weeded out my freezer of all
the extra bread and heels I had been saving
and have it all thawed out.
So that needs to be cut up,
tossed with oil and baked before it
goes bad.

-------------------------------------

7:50pm

My Tea Party Cupcakes
are now on Jelly Belly!


Got all my bread cut up and made into
croutons tonight.
You'd be amazed at how much bread
you would throw away with just the heels alone!
I save them all until I have a bunch to
make croutons. I can then make stuffing,
use them on salads or put into food
processor and use on meats as breading.

McDonalds is running a special
at the moment.
I saw it on the menu when me & mom
ate there today.
4 hamburger or cheeseburgers
AND
4 fries
for $5.00.

Cold Spell Causes Issues For Produce Farmers, Higher Costs.

Channel 4 News


Time to stock up on those Meijer sales
this week with some produce for $1.00
or other produce on sale.
Buy things that you can freeze.
Like the $1.00 carrots and onions can be blanched
and frozen or if you have the time and patience,
put in a food dehydrator.
