After a very frugal Sunday, we went shopping today. I try to have several stores to visit. They are often so far apart here in Jefferson County, a large area.
PUBLIX
My a2milk is usually $4.49/half gallon. but today it was $3.99, so I bought six half-gallons, saving a total of $3.
An 8 oz. Kraft Medium chunk cheese was $3. I bought two even though I bought two last week at the same price at another store. I hate to pay full price for either milk or cheese.
Ragu Spaghetti sauce was bogo. I paid $2.48 for two, $1.24 each. Then, I had a coupon for $.60 off two, bringing the cost for each to $0.94. I was pleased at the final price. We usually get 8 servings from one jar.
I bought Tillamook Turkey Breast Jerky, at an exorbitant cost--$5.69!!!
PIGGLY WIGGLY
Tommy saw it and suggested I stop in there since we were driving by. I found nothing, but I bought two packages of Stage Planks for a quarter a pack.
DOLLAR TREE
I went in to buy a package of 3 mesh laundry bags for $1. They were hard to find. I use these instead of plastic bags for produce. The zipper does not have a stop and is not sewn into the seam on two of them. I can fix those for this price. I bought one LED bulb for $1. Then, after paying, I found more Christmas cards--$.50 for 20 cards.
Then, I searched for something to wash my car elsewhere, specifically the area under the spoiler which never comes clean and is getting thick. I finally got a spray bottle for bugs and tar and will only wash under the spoiler. Then, we went to an independent car wash place where the cars are hand-washed. It will cost $15 for the hand wash and he said we could sit in the car. He washed cars out in the parking lot of his little building. I might do that next month when I will have a little more money, plus I just spent $7 to run it though the scary carwash.
I forgot to buy bananas because the guy said he could get me some in about ten minutes. So, I wandered off and never came back. I forgot. However, I have one that is half-dead. I will probably mash it up and put it in milk instead of just eating it will a glass of milk. And, I just remembered we forgot to buy bread. Oh well.
Today, I wore a long-sleeved red sweater given me by a friend in CA. It was in 60s today, so I was overheated immediately. sigh
Tonight, we will have turkey in a StoveTop casserole with cranberry sauce. I usually put dried cranberries in this casserole. Craisins have oil and sugar. I like mine plain. My dehydrated cranberries are in the dump, jars of them! I need to dehydrate more when I can get my Excalibur Dehydrator up here.
The weather for the next two weeks is above average temperature. I can live with this.
Oh, I found an umbrella in my car yesterday. I hope it is usable.
Under international law, it is a war crime to destroy cultural sites. Yet, we will soon have a person who commits war crimes as our leader if he keeps his promise.
