DDIL and I managed to get two cartons (four six-packs of Vivas at $5.99 per six pack. That's cheap for up here. They were on sale with coupon. Nothing left on shelf, but DDIL spotted the cartons on top of the shelf. Whee.
Have been using what few coupons we get here (no doubling eitherj) from Fred Meyer and Safeway. Only two grocery stores here. Got butter, bacon, and a few household items which we needed.
BTW, has anyone noticed the cans of cranberry sauce is now 14 ounces instead of 16ounces. I still have a couple of cans left over from the last couple of years, and they have reduced the size of the can. But of course, not the price. Amazing.

We got a turkey last week for .39 a lb with a 10.00 purchase. They also had Blue Bell icecream for 3/12.00. It's normaly about 6.00 a half gallon. So far it's still a full 1/2 gallon.I bought the big packs of Viva paper towels that are on sale at Rite Aid. They are my favorite brand. I can reuse them a couple of times before they wear out or are too dirty. Also bought some lamp oil, and found some cotton rope type stuff in the sewing section of Walmart that can be used for wicks in the Tiki Torches. Tonight I made 10 quarts of grape juice. As soon as it gets cold enough outside, we are going to empty out the freezer and defrost it. I'm trying to use up as many of the grapes and berries as I can so they don't thaw out and get ruined.
I ran some errands today and one thing on the list was to get more pint canning jars. I found a case at the local hardware store. I mentioned to the cashier that I was going to can some leftover turkey today. The cashier said that she'd been canning meats because you need to be ready for whatever is coming that doesn't look good. So it's apparently not just us here who are uncomfortable about the future.
Canning is in process.
