Hello All! Hope this post finds you well! The last few weeks have been pretty
hectic around my house- Several family members have
ended up in either the hospital ED or
admitted inpatient. Crazy, crazy times
but everyone is doing better! They do say these things go in 3's you know! They sure do at my house!!
I have been able to
add several things to my pantry in the last several weeks. I found a red, white and blue cake mix on
sale for 73 cents at Biglots. This will
be perfect for the 4th of July!
I also found a pkg of Oreos cookies for 73 cents as well. They are the mint ones from Christmas but my
DD#2 love mint everything so I picked these up for her.
I did find some
Easter chocolate candy a couple of weeks ago on clearance and picked up enough
to use for chocolate chunk cookies at Christmas. I put it in freezer bags and then put in the freezer. Every little bit bought ahead helps!
Our Meijer had
canned green beans 3 for $1. I bought 12 cans to add to my pantry. The Crystal light was $.99 each when you
bought 8 so I added 8 of the lemon tea flavor to our pantry. We enjoy this during the hot summer months.
The Goodwill
had a ton of stuff last Saturday!
I found a food mill for only $4.
I have been pricing the nut and spring on Lehmans and they were over $8
plus shipping so this was a steal! I
picked up a scrub set for my soon to be NICU nurse DD#2 for $3.29. Very good shape! I found a jelly jar for 50 cents and got
that. I found a large stainless bowl for
$2. Came in handy when I was picking and
processing my dandelions for jelly! I
found 3 gently used books for my niece’s Birthday. So I really scored big time! I just LOVE the Goodwill, don't you?
My Granddaughter and
2 nieces were at my house Sunday and I had them pick dandelions for dandelion
jelly! They had a blast picking and my
niece Cora (almost 4) wanted to help put the flowers in jars before she
left. I tried explaining I had to make
the jelly first, but she wanted to help with the “Jelly Flowers” and didn’t want to
go home!! Such a cutie! I can just
imagine what her daycare teachers are going to think when she tells them she picked
Jelly flowers!! Smiles!! My petals are steeping as I write this! And to my brother who called me a “hippy” -
Thank you! I’ll take that as a
compliment! Lol!
My Christmas Club
account is up to $90! I know this
doesn’t seem like much but it will be a blessing to our family during the holidays.
I am arranging the
bouquets for a friends daughter’s
wedding. Susan brought me a pot of
lavender when she brought the flowers over to me. Couldn’t have given me anything that I would
have liked any better- Thanks Susan!
That’s about it for me for last week! What have you saved money on?
Blessings,
Lisa
