3 down 1 to go

Yahoo for Thade and me, we went shopping yesterday, and I am almost all finished with my meal shopping for April. One run to the supercenter in Nevada, and I’ll be completely finished. We did pretty good too, I saved over $24.00 at Walgreen’s, and got a cart full of groceries at Aldi’s for under $30.00, not too bad. I’ve got a pretty decent stockpile of paper towels, and dish washing detergent to boot too.

The weather looks like it is going to get bad this evening, which sucks. It is Springtime again, and that means tornado watches, and severe thunder storms. Better stick up on batteries and flash lights too.

Grocery Day, maybe

I’m getting my stockpile together for April. April is going to be quite a busy month around here. I’ll tell more about that later. I have my meals planned for the month, and my lists made, now to get the shopping done. I’ve been shopping around for the best deals, and I’m going to be making 4 trips to 4 random stores to get the job done. Hopefully Thade will happily go along. The weather is supposed to be really nice today, and I’m up early, which rarely happens. So maybe we’ll get out and get to 2 stores today. I’m planning on being all finished by Saturday, but you know how plans go, they change often.

Better Weather

Today it was in the 70s, it was so nice outside. I happily turned off the heater, and turned on the attic fan to keep the house nice and cool. I’m so ready to do away with the expensive gas bill.

Thade and I cleaned out my car, well I cleaned and Thade watched. James and Thade got out for a walk around the block this evening. Thade was thrilled, and really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood.

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be even better, so we’ll see if we get anything done outside. We might make the Walgreen’s run, and stock up on some more supplies.

Busy weekend

I’m trying to go grocery shopping once a month for meals, but I’m finding myself in the grocery store every week. Today is no exception… James has to go to the eye doctor at 10:00 a.m., so I thought that Thade and I would tag along too, and I would pick up a few supplies, milk, bread, etc. I started making a small list, but the list isn’t staying small, it is now over $50.00 and growing. Oh well, we gotta eat.

I’ve got to get in some house cleaning today too, the in-laws couldn’t make it last weekend, so I think on Sunday we’ll have company. I’m also thinking about baking some cupcakes, or cookies. I’m in a pastry mood for sure. I might have to put baking ahead of house cleaning. I guess it is a good thing that I woke up at 5:30 a.m. today.

Rainy Day

I swear I wait until the weather is super nasty, and then I gas up my car. This happens all to often around here. I could have done it yesterday, when it was 60 and sunny,but no I wait until it is absolutely necessary, and pouring down rain to get the chore done. The good part, at least it isn’t freezing rain.

I need to go and pick up milk too, so it is quickly turning into another errands day. I need to get motivated and get the chores done early, so it is off to the shower for me.
