This week, my goal was to find cheese on sale or a coupon to use, preferably both. Plus, I need the same for Miracle Whip.

The Heinz Cakes are for making in a cup and there are four mixes in each box, so that is about $.16 for each dessert. I suppose I will try this overnight oatmeal.

My favorite brand of bologna was on sale, so I got it. I rarely buy bologna.  I will wait six months and only buy it on sale. I cannot eat the pizza because it has pepperoni, so I will bake it and freeze it for my freezer when I need a quick lunch for exbf.

No sale found for cheese or Miracle Whip.  The salad was a bowl for $2.98 that was sold on the best-buy-date for $2.09. It is still very fresh and was eaten within a few hours.

I did see an ad for "Tortiyahs." I checked the brand on the internet, and yes, this is a thing.  They also sell tortillas. I don't understand.

I spent about $20.

I was given:

4 Vidalia onions
Gal. milk
3 lbs potatoes
loaf of bread
windmill cookies

I was making progress on the cookies and threw them out on the way to the house so I would not eat more. Yes, I do have self control. I got rid of them instead of believing the voice in my head that tells me I will only eat two a day. NO, I would have eaten them all before bedtime! There was no one to whom to give them.

There are chocolate chips that I can show self-control in eating--ten each day. And, I do not eat them every day.

Your turn
Do you believe that voice that tells you that you will ration cookies or other foods?

  1. Ice cream calls my name and no, I can't ration it! Occasionally I'll buy for company but I usually have to throw the rest away or I keep getting into it until it's gone. Cookies, cake, pie, even chocolate I can leave but NOT ice cream drat it. I just got back from Myrtle Beach and ate too much so now my stomach must be stretched because I'm sure hungry haha. I think we ate out 7 times but I didn't spend a cent but gas and $$ for my nephew who graduated from HS. It rained the whole time too.

  2. Nan,
    Ice cream! Yes! That is why I will only buy a pint. well, that and a gallon will rarely fit. It sounds like you had a very good time. So, who furnished the food for you? So, you undertand why I threw out cookies I did not much like.

    1. The gallon will rarely fit in my freezer because the freezer is usually full.

  3. My sis who drove with me paid for all except the grad dinner at Red Lobster was on little sis and her husband. We drove my Prius and guess Sis wanted to repay me. She's lived with me a few times.

Okay, hoping the annoyances have gone away.
