Thanks...I hope it does!

Well, I went to the Grocery Warehouse for their 10 for $10 sale. I got $20 worth of stuff from that sale for me and dd and $10 for my sister. I got the bulk items and a few other things I can't get at Save-a-Lot. I just need to grab a few items there a little later. I've got alot of things to cook and bag up, though I barely have any room for anything. Gotta make room, I guess.

REALLY TIRED!!!

After coming back from Save=A=Lot, I immediately went into the kitchen and started cooking.

First I opened the bulk cans of Sliced Apples and Pineapples I got. I put sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in the apples and sugar in the pineapples and bagged them as a weeks worth in each bag. I then froze them. Then I made several variations of cup meals: chili and cheese, chicken pot pie, ham and cheese, and Pepperoni and cheese. I made hot dog wraps, taquitos, and warmed up store bought chicken nuggets and garlic breadsticks. I then bagged them all up for dd's lunches. Then I washed the dishes, and mopped.

Now, I'm about to pass out!

Hey Nagy long time no see

My frugalness in an extravagant way was to take our family of 4 to Sea World for the day, that days entry automatically gave us a free yearly pass............ winter must have been slow. So we can just go and use the water park section this summer and it costs us nothing but petrol money .............. yippee

Hi Kathy!!! Gosh it seem slike forever since I've seen you around. I guess we just keep missing each other.

Good job on frugalness today! I'm getting to be so frugal around here that my family is starting to look at me funny. I've started saving freezer bags to re-use and even save veggie "juice" for my compost soups. I think my family thinks I've lost it. I've always been kind of wasteful in the kitchen. This frugal stuff is actually fun though!

Have a great evening all--day to you Kathy.

Jayne
