'Mornin' All - hope you are all doing well today
I'm heading for bed as soon as I can pry my fanny off this barstool, but since that's liable to take a few minutes, I'll go ahead and mention some good stock up deals I got at the grocery store on my way home from work today:
Folger's coffee - $5.97/tub minus $1/2 coupons; I grabbed 6
Beef Arm roast - $2.49/lb; I bought 4 of them to can.
Peanut Butter - 2 large jars can't recall the price but it made me smile lol!
3 jugs laundry detergent for daughter at $1.79 each
6 bags frozen veggies (peas 'n carrots and mixed veggies) at 79 cents each
4 Barilla pasta - 16 oz for 79 cents each
12 Jiffy corn muffin mixes at 39 cents each
12 cans Brooks chili beans at 69 cents each
4 14.75 oz cans pink salmon at $1.49 each
I know there were a few other things, but Hubby has already toted them off to the pantry and I'm too darn tired to go look!!
They had a sale on vegetable oil and I was tempted to get a few jugs to put back though I know it doesn't last long in the plastic bottles. I didn't as I couldn't decide what type to get - we usually only use olive oil, coconut oil, butter or lard; the choices were vegetable, peanut, corn and canola. The sale doesn't end until Tuesday, so if I can make up my mind what kind I want, I'll send Hubby over after work as it's only a few blocks.
The grocery store in the pool town has a couple of things on sale for a decent price in a coupon flyer, but I'll wait until the ad comes out tomorrow to decide if I need to stop by as they aren't things I need, so much as they are things it wouldn't hurt to have on hand. I do plan to stop by CVS and pick up some of their brands of vitamins that are on sale BOGO - I can get the D3 5000 Iu I take cheaper there than anywhere. I also need to pick up more candy for the costumed peaceful protest that will be held in daughter's town in about 20 days I'm gonna check out Walgreen's ad (it's online only grrr...) to check for decently priced candy to throw at the protesters since I have about $20 in rewards to spend.
We had a pretty heavy fog this morning, so I'm going to go ahead and sleep 'til Hubby gets back from the motocross track, then will go out and do some work outside. Napping will give my zinnia seed heads time to dry so they can be picked and bagged then I can check for more persimmons on the ground, and gather up some black locust pods (and go read Kathy's story "Ettie" to figure out what it is I'm supposed to do with them once I gather them lol!) Hubby will finish mowing off the garden once he gets home from the track; then if we get the nice rain we are supposed to on Monday, I might be able to get the tiller far enough in the ground to work it up and put it to bed a day or two later.
I want to get over to the sale barn on Wednesday and Thursday to get a couple loads of composted manure to finish filling up the raised strawberry bed that's settled quite a bit over the summer; may pick up some boards if I can find 'em for a not totally unreasonable price and raise those compost beds out by the garden up a couple of feet so I can dump some manure in them as well in case it rains next year as much as it did this year. Wouldn't hurt to dump a couple of loads on the garden itself for that matter.... I also need to get the hummingbird feeders brought in, cleaned up, and packed away, start filling the other bird feeders, repot my porch plants so I can get ready to bring 'em inside, and, and, and....
Whew - now I really AM worn out!
Take care all; stay safe, and have a great week!
