Hubby and I had to close his work pools last night.

He took the on call pager for a day for a coworker.

His work keeps the pools open an extra week

after Labor Day weekend.

We stopped by Kroger on the way home to get some pop.

Every time I visit Kroger I am always on the hunt

for mark downs and will check them out before

leaving.  Some days are good while other days

there aren't as many.  Last night I thought

was a good night for them.

4 Eckrich hot dogs .50 cents each

2 packages cubed ham $1.09 each

two 2.5 pound packages smoked sausage $2.50 each

3 packages real bacon bit .99 cents each

3 Open pit BBQ sauce .49 cents each

1 Hot banana pepper rings .99 cents

1 Lasagna pasta $1.49

1 Cream of chicken soup .79 cents

2 Juicy juice 100% mango juice $1.49 each.

I have a list of meals I want to prepare for the 

freezer still and these mark downs will help

greatly with keeping the costs down.

I have other things on my grocery list

and want to go to Aldis for those items

where I can get them cheaper.

Other freezer meals I plan on making-

Looks like I'm gonna be busy.

-Chicken pot pies

-Homemade chicken & noodles

-Teriyaki chicken (or smoked sausage), rice & veggies

-Chicken & gravy over mashed potatoes

-Chicken ala king

-Chicken crescent roll casserole

-Chili

-Ham & potato soup

-Lasagna

-Enchiladas

-Breakfast burritos

-Cheeseburger Casserole

-Chili dog casserole

-Homemade smoked sausage pizza

-Homemade buffalo chicken pizza

-Ham & tater tot casserole.

Woke up this morning with my face itching again

and driving me crazy so I tried another remedy

soon after returning home from the bus stop,

toothpaste.  I put it all over my face.

It burned and tingled a little but stops

the itch instantly!  I used the regular white kind.

I'm minty fresh, lol.


11:40am


I had a couple of places I needed to go
and mom tagged along.
I have limited funds so can only get what is needed.
First stop was the thrift store.  My one son
needed some XL shirts as his L shirts just
aren't big enough anymore.
And I bought 5 pairs of sock at .59 cents each.
I've still been on the hunt for a coffee pot for 
hubby with the cooler weather fast approaching.
The thrift store wants anywhere from $10 to $18
for one!  I would even settle for a glass coffee
pot for very cheap if I can't find a thermal one.
Today I found two 64 ounce thermos mugs
with a Speedway logo on the side at the thrift store
for .90 cents each.  I know they sell these 
same containers at Speedway for $5.00 each.
When you have one of these large containers
you can fill it up for something like $1.49 at Speedway.
It will work for now til I find a coffee pot.
And if I happen to find a cheap glass one then
I can pour the coffee into the thermal containers
for hubby to take to work with him.

My only other place I need to go is Aldi.
That will be another day another time
as I am still getting a list together of cheap things
needed to make freezer meals.
