Hello ladies!
Along the subject of coupons, I wanted to give another hint. Its a bit unethical.... Just save the container, box or carton, of a name brand item! Then buy the store brand, and stick it in the name brand!! Voilà! I did that with Pop tarts! And my sons never knew!!! I have Donne that with cereals, as well. I am sneaky!
Have a great day all!

Becca - lol. I used to do that with my kids all the time when we were on a tight budget. They swore the "store brand" never tasted as good so I bought one box of the national brand and after that just kept refilling it with the store brand. They never knew it until they were older. In fact one daughter didn't discover it until I told her when she was struggling with grocery prices. lol3

Wehave mostly huge groceries in Ohio & they have cameras thru out,many in places you’d not think of.Had a neighbor who retired from grocery security. He had some stories to tell ,but not all were funny.
My good friend did that with several groceries when her kids wanted name brands,cereal & sandwich meat.Candy & all kinds of drinks....she put drinks in pitchers.
Thanks,Terryknew I was missing something!P. Pat0 -

well it has been a busy day.. my girlfriend Patty came and we had tea and chatted and I showed her around.. Dopey Fed Ex was supposed to deliver a couch today and it wont be until tomorrow, and I will be at work... going on the fed ex website to see if I can have them deliver it when I will be here for goodness sake..
the coffee table I was going to put together and I have to call because the shatterproof top was shattered,,, see what they can do about that...
my other friend Lynne came down and we put 2 of the side tables together and had a great time doing it... and I got a bunch of boxes unpacked.. so all in all a good day, back to the grind tomorrow..6 -

Whoops! I forgot for a moment we are now in OCT. Here is what I just posted in our Sept thread:
Many thanks for all of the comments on my friend's funeral and my being angry over it. Yes, my friend knew she was dying (cancer) and had clearly detailed her wishes to her family. The kids simply could not accept her wishes.I totally agree that the funeral is for the living to find closure and say goodbye. Clearly her family did not feel that what she wanted would give them that opportunity. I've moved past my anger and am simply sad at the loss of a friend. I met with some other friends (away from the family and not the same time or place as the funeral) who knew her wishes and we said our own private goodbye in a manner she would have loved. It was enough.
On a different subject...
When I turned 60 I met with friends in Las Vegas. we celebrated my birthday and each other. I was one of 3 people who cheered on the other 6 as they walked/ran in a 5K and or a half marathon. At that time I declared I would always be happy to be a cheerleader but I would NOT ever walk in a 5K. Yesterday almost 4 years later I completed my third 5K! When will I learn to never say never. LOL!

rye- I do find that sign very offensive and I will tell you why. In Minnesota the black life matter group has been responsible for a lot of destruction. Closing down the freeways and rioting. They also have paid for protesters to cause destruction in many other states. I believe all lives matter. FYI my family is multiracial. I also don't believe in women's rights movement. I do not believe in abortion! Humans are legal as long as they follow the law. Without law we would have chaos. I have many Mexican family members that have left the state and re-entered legally with help from our family. I am also Native American. Science is real but not all of our hypothesis are correct. As a science teacher this is a fact. Love is love I believe that God is love. I do not believe that kindness is everything. Sometimes there needs to be a firm hand. I believe that there is right and wrong and that is how we learn how to behave appropriately.

Happy Birthday, Heather. Sounds like you had a wonderful day.
Terry- I wish I had taken a before and after picture of my garden. Worked 4 hours today replanting purple iris, purple verbena and Mexican petunias. Still have one more big bed to clean and replant.
I joined a Biggest Loser challenge in August and have really enjoyed it. Also lost 6.5 lbs so far.
My goal for October is to keep doing what I'm doing. My new Fitbit really motivates me to get those steps every day.
Welcome newbies. Glad you found us!!!

Prayers for the victims and their families who were shot in Las Vegas. Undoubtedly it's a horrible thing to happen when people are out having fun. The killer was a murderer. He didn't snap. He had this methodically thought out, not a quick decision. Packing that many guns and ammo is heavy and he probably brought them in on a cart or made several trips.
You just wonder how many more and what frequency attacks will happen. It doesn't matter if its guns, pressure cooker bombs or explosives. They keep happening and we forget on go on with our business. The alternative is gun control, but the criminals will always have illegal guns. That's not the answer either.
I have a concealed carry license and I want the right to bear arms to protect myself as well as my family. Of course i know it is a great responsibility to carry and I hope I don't ever have to use my gun but if I'm put in a situation I will use it.
Just sayin

janetr: You and I are on the same page regarding MRIs. I'd need to be sedated, and I gather that isn't a productive situation. :noway:
patceoh: It is so great to see you again! :flowerforyou:
Penny: Congratulations on your self-control at the grocery store. :bigsmile:
sunaric: Welcome to a great group. Some of us have been chatting for a long time, some are new, and some are boomerangs--they were here, then gone, and back again. We're happy to see them again. We try to encourage one another along our individual paths to better health.
Margaret: Your framed postcards look wonderful! :flowerforyou:
I pulled out my tomato plant today and put it in the trash. It will go to the dump in the morning. I'd rather have composted it, but that isn't an option. I'm in the process of decorating for Halloween. I've got the inside of the house done as much as I want, but I still need to get my jack o' lantern and ghost set up in the yard. There will be a parade that passes by a block away on Saturday. My friend who owns the stable will be riding Arrow in the parade & I hope to take their picture. He is her horse and she is generous enough to let me ride.

I started working on it last night, and I can get into position, after about 20 minutes of warming up/loosening up, but I can't hold it for any length of time. Baby steps.
I admire anyone who can do things like that.
I have no flexibility to speak of, and I badly separated my left shoulder a decade ago -- it has never been the same since, and certainly couldn't hold my weight.

The closest grocery store to where I work is one you've really got to pay attention at ... you've got to check every single container to make sure it hasn't been opened and had one or two or half the items removed. People constantly go there to just help themselves.

Um..... not sure people understood that when I talked about filling the national brand container with a store brand I was talking about AT HOME, not by trying to steal or scam from the store. I would never do that. That's called theft. I just tricked my children who wanted the name brand.
