    Saved just over $8 today and still managed to forget the softener which was a main reason for going. Oh well will grab it tomorrow if I have time after work.

    I got a grocery store courtesy card for my local grocery store last month. For every so many points, a person can get a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk, etc. for free. The roommates and I do most of our grocery shopping there and at the dollar stores.

    For Christmas, Santa and Mrs. Santa gave my landlord and my priest Dollar Tree gift cards for Christmas! I want to know what they bought so bad! 2 men in a Dollar Tree? LOL

    Have a wonderful evening! I have missed you!

    It is so difficult grocery shopping with 2 girl roommates. I cannot cook the way I want. Cooking for a man would make things so much easier!

    Today was a Dollar Tree dinner! 2 packages of kielbasa, a jar of grape jelly and a jar of BBQ sauce to prepare candied kielbasa in the Crock-Pot! A total of $4.00!

    My neighbor gave me this loaf of bread a couple of weeks ago. I placed the loaf of bread in the freezer for safe keeping. And yes we had a snow storm! The bread really did come in handy!

    I got all Mom's food after she passed away. Probably worth $$$$'s. It sucks but am grateful for it.

    I bought groceries and still have the McDonald's gift card. Also a friend gave us a $20 Tim Hortons card.

    You have been blessed. Where I play bingo, a mysterious person places free groceries near the prize table. I always find useful groceries. Spaghetti, beans, cereal, etc. But, we never see this person dropping off the groceries.

    About bingo, we do not play for money. We play for prizes. food yet again, personal necessities, household goods, etc. I love to win tortilla chips for dip! LOL

    That's about it for now... Be good! Stay safe! Hugs!

    Tuesday we got dog food from a friend in my TOPS group as her dog won't eat it. On Wednesday our neighbor brought us over dog treats because his dogs won't eat them. I could have told him that as he has given the same kind before.

    Today, some people that I know are spending the day creating crafts. If I could sell crafts to make some money, I would. Such money could come in handy in buying groceries that I like. What do you think?

    What type of craft would you create and how would you sell?

    I love to crochet and do plastic canvas mainly but I do dable in other things as well. I am not sure how I would sell them.
