Thursday, the temp got up to 69F, maybe to 70F. It certainly felt warm like summer. I went to The Pig because I thought it was Wednesday and 5% off for seniors. There was nothing on sale. The ads do not come in the mail or the pink bag. Usually, there is something and it is not far, so no problem.
We used our free BK coupons for fries. They were too hot to safely eat, so pretty good--our treat for the day.
I found Lysol wipes and Clorox wipes and could only get two, so Tommy ventured into Publix and got two, also. Now, I will not have to look for these. Done.
I have a mental list I look for every time I go into any store. Do you?
Friday, I went to Publix after I got an ad and bought several BOGOs.
Russel Stover sugar-free candy with stevia. I got one package of dark chocolate and one of mint, sort of like York Peppermint Patties. I thought I was getting coconut. Originally $4, I got two packages for that price. And, there were only six pieces in each bag!
uncle Ben's Original Parboiled Rice $8.67 for 5 lbs. I bought two 5-lb bags for that price--10 lbs. $0.87/lb.
I use Kraft Italian Shredded Cheese for my taco casserole which sort of ends up like taco soup. Today it was $4.49 for 8 ounces. I got two bags for that price, $2.25 each.
I needed milk so paid $4.49 for a half gallon of a2milk and bought three. My receipt informs me I saved $14.15. Cheese and rice will be frozen.
Tonight I am cooking a pan of Russet potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and onions with kielbasa. Tommy and I both love this. The potatoes will only make up a small portion of this and there will be leftovers for two more meals.
When my children were two- and four-years-old, I decided to add something new to Christmas. We had an old horse collar or something leather with huge bells on it. I gathered the two children on my son's bed and read "The Night Before Christmas" to him (3.5) and his sister (1.5). I had turned off the tv and all was quiet.
My husband took the bells outside the window and said loudly, "HO HO HO!" as he rang the bells.
I will publish the other edition later.
Did you have a special Christmas tradition to share?
