Good Morning, All!
The grandsons are here, so it has been a busy morning so far; I'm ready to sit down and take a break at the computer!!
Later today, the boys and I will go in to town to help lay wreaths on the Veteran's graves at the local cemetery - including those of their Great Grandfather and Great Uncle (my father and uncle.)
Prep plans this week include using coupons/sales to add a bit more soup to the pantry - hopefully enough to get us through to this time next year, when the sales hit again. There is also a sale on Smirnoff Vodka, and I have coupons for $4 off 750 ml or larger bottles - I think there was a rebate deal going on; if I can find a rebate tag I will purchase enough to use up my coupons/get the largest rebate; then hide it downstairs for emergency use. Hoping to find it in glass bottles, rather than plastic.
I will also stock up on batteries at CVS as they have their brand buy one/get one 50% off, and will use coupons + sales to add a few cans of pineapple and mandarin oranges to the pantry to use in making homemade 'Dole Whip'.
The call for extra school supplies and Wet Wipes/Baby wipes went out - I found a sale and have coupons to pick up baby wipes to send; and was able to pack up a bag of other requested items send with the grandsons but was sure glad I stocked up during the back-to-school sales this fall as I'd much rather send crayons I paid 50 cents and markers that I paid $1 for to school out of my stocks than pay current retail prices (double or triple the sale price) for them.
Looks like I'd better get off the computer and start figuring out what to fix these two for lunch - may thaw some meatloaf mix, open a jar of home canned peaches, and make some mac and cheese. Their Mama can fight them to get them to eat vegetables
Take care all; stay safe and warm!
