[crochet2]

I just got home from grocery shopping. I did pretty good (not as good as Roberta, but good). I did 2 orders - on the 1st I paid $37.78 and saved $41.62 - that's better than 50% savings. On the second order I paid $51.13 and saved $44.36 - about 45% savings. Everything is put away, and other than fresh veggies, I won't need anything next week. But I see from the ads (most stores start their sales here on Sundays), that I will want to get some of the Van Kemps faux crab - down to $1.74 per pack. It freezes well, and I really like it.

Still stocking - dry cat food in 18 oz. pouches was $.89 after coupons, and I used some B1G1 Steamfresh meal coupons. They are supposed to serve 2, so I know I will need to add a salad for dinners and probably an apple for lunch. Still at $4.25 each after the coupons, I can't complain.

Patti, sorry you had trouble sleeping.

Joanne, that is nice weight loss. Glad you have been able to keep it off. I am with Patti, I don't buy any pieces of meat that expensive. Hope he really enjoys it, and the children also.

Charlotte, it feels good to "have" to buy new clothes because of weight loss. I now have 2 pair of jeans that are big from just that 9 lb. loss. But, I will be wearing them with shirts tucked in for bulk, and sweaters over them for awhile yet, and get some wear out of them. If, of course, they start falling down as I am walking, I will change my mind in a hurry.

Ladies, better go for now. I have chores that need to be done - laundry, soup making, etc.

There won't be any kids coming here this evening either - I am the only one on my block, and not on a corner. Most of them don't even know this house exists.

Take care all!! Norma
