Roberta - do make sure dh documents everything, especially with doctors. We went thru that when dh became disabled. It sure made the process go smoother. Hope everything is ok with him.

Lisa - so sorry for the financial situation. I agree, check with some of the larger churches. Here, you don't have to belong to get help. Are there any city or organizations food banks? Like Gleaners or Salvation Army? You will be ok - you always are!!! HUGS

Norma - Tell us how it went!!!

You sure have all been busy. Yesterday, I stayed home and worked around here. All meals from home.
Frugal today - I spent money!!!! I went to Aldi, The Nut House, and WM with a total of $56 spent for all 3! Needed just basics, milk, eggs, bread, cottage cheese, potatoes, etc.
Topped off gas tank for $22.50. Stopped by a church sale and bought 6 story books for niece and nephew for Christmas. Got all 6 for $1.50. I really splurged. We haven't ate out in forever. I stopped at Long John's and got us 4 Baja fish tacos. .99 ea. Boy were they tangy and yummy. Had leftover soup for dinner.
I made it a total of 21 no spend days out of 27 for July. I'm going to try to really stay out of grocery store as much as possible. That is where I tend to spend the most. Still have plenty here, plus lot's of garden veggies.
I have 12 tomatoes in a bowl right now. They are really starting to turn. Still have zucch. & yellow squash comming out my bu**. lol Green beans are starting to come on. Lot's of peppers. WOOHOO!! I love my garden.

I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend.
