There is a new batch of Walgreens deals  this week.   I pretty much followed Savvy Coupon Shopper’s plan from YouTube  https://youtu.be/4ycpayaBX5k?si=HgqtY-v1t8xyD8Qy I only used digital coupons and the 3 paper Walgreens rewards I got on last week’s trip.   I paid $5.48 cash and earned back $10 in Walgreens rewards and about $7 in Walgreens cash  My granddaughter was with me and she was pretty surprised when the total was so low.   She wanted to go the library so that was our next stop.   We have a very nice public library. I picked up some free seeds ..read more

It started raining last night and rained most of today so I didn’t do any yard work today.   There has been a big turkey in our freezer since before Thanksgiving.  It wasn’t needed for Thanksgiving as our son brought turkeys he cooked.  We are also out of frozen chicken broth.   So I thought I would thaw out that turkey and make broth with part of it.   So I cut it up and have the back, neck and wings cooking in this large crockpot for broth,   The legs and thighs are in the fridge for now.   I sealed  the breast in foil and baked ..read more

Progress taking back the garden spot- after working here today and yesterday. There is still lots to do and that’s only 6 feet  But there is hope!  My son made this meatloaf with this recipe-he says  it’s the best turkey meatloaf he’s ever had and they will be eating meatloaf for days.   The photo he sent doesn’t have the mixing and baking instructions but you all know how to mix and bake meatloaf, right?   I think meatloaf sandwiches sound very nice.   ❤️ Rhonda  N ..read more

Hello everyone  I cooked those bargain $1 pork cutlets and they were delicious!   I also baked that big pan of sliced carrots, made some mashed potatoes and a mix white gravy.   Below is my plate  My husband was very happy with this meal.   This morning we went to the local junior livestock show at the county fairgrounds.   Our 2 oldest grandsons were showing their Guernsey dairy cows.   They are in 6th and 9th grade now.   This is  what our side garden spot in the back yard currently looks like ?‍??? Because of physical issues an ..read more

Hello everyone  My husband and I went to Oklahoma City today, partly to shop and partly to have a day out.   We went to the Air Force base and shopped a little.  Our youngest granddaughter turned 5 and we bought her  2 spring church dresses.   I think maybe that’s  just  a southern thing, calling nice dresses “church dresses”- back when people were concerned about dressing properly for an occasion.  Some occasions called for a school dress, some called for a church dress and some called for a fancier, formal dress.   The commissary just didn’t ha ..read more

Casual couponing

One of my goals for 2024 was to do casual couponing a few times a month and I’ve pretty much done it.   I don’t use paper coupons,  just digital coupons on the store webpage or app.   I’m not trying to spend zero,  I just want to get products my family uses at as big a discount as I legally and reasonably can.   There are many coupon experts out there.   Look on Instagram or YouTube and you’ll find all the advice you can use.   I’ve been doing my coupon shopping at Walgreens and DollarGeneral.  And just a few times at CVS. I plan out my deals but I ne ..read more

Hello everyone  I made a batch of cabbage bean soup for our lunch and it was so fast to make with already having the carrots, onions and potatoes peeled and chopped. I like this recipe from Lena  Cabbage Bean Soup She doesn’t blog anymore but she always was so sweet and had really helpful content.   We had some cheese and crackers with our soup  I went to 2 thrift stores this week.  I used to think our town had wonderful thrift stores.   But I’ve been in a decluttering and downsize pattern for a while now and most stuff doesn’t appeal to me anyway. I bough ..read more

Back to homemaking

Where did January and February go?  Wherever it was, they certainly went fast for me.   But I’m ready to get back to normal homemaking, as normal as is possible anyway.   So last night I wrote out a meal plan  It’s not a day by day specific plan but I think we have all the ingredients on hand for these meals and they all sound good.   To get a head start,  I decided to chop up some vegetables and I ended up doing a lot more veggies than first planned.   I wanted to make a big salad to eat for lunches and for a supper side dish.  I wanted to cut up ..read more

Hello everyone  I wanted to write a blog post before the month of February ends. January and February have not been a lot of fun. My husband spent about half of that time helping his parents. You all know he came back from one trip with a respiratory infection that stayed with him three weeks. Thankfully, I never caught it. Then, on the second trip down there, he injured his shoulder.  Today he got injections in his back that he gets about every three months. Tomorrow he will see the ortho specialist about his shoulder. We both thought if he just rested his shoulder, that it might he ..read more

Hello everyone  My last post was about concerns for my husband and that illness.   Well, all my precautions worked and I didn’t catch it.  He is pretty much better but has been though a lot with so much coughing.   So if there is sickness in you home,  my advice is  - try to keep as much distance as possible between you and the sick person -Wash your hands often and especially if you handle anything that the sick person has handled like their dishes -Be careful with dishes-I sanitized hours by running the dishwasher on the sanitize cycle. But if I was doing them b ..read more
