Adding to my Pantry: November 17, 2019


I have been cooking up our pumpkins. I have 7 containers in the freezer and a bunch more pumpkins to still cook. 


I bought several packages of marked down peppers. I chopped them up and froze them to use over the winter when pepper prices go up. 


Chicken cutlets were on sale for $1.99. I bought several packs and broke them up into meal size baggies. 


I bought a container of dried milk at Walmart. I like to always have a container on hand. With all of the holiday baking coming up now was a good time to get it. 


Brownie mixes were on sale for 77¢ each with a limit of 8. 


Cold medicine for less then a $1 is a great price. That went into my medical supplies. 


Barley and lentils were on sale again. We will always use them in soups. 


Goya dry peas were on sale for $1 each. 


Soups were on sale for 88¢ if you bought 10. I had $1 off 5 so they were even less. I like to keep them on hand for when we get sick or easy meals. 


More hot sausages got added to the freezer. They will go good with the peppers. 


The cranberries were 2 for $3. I am hoping to get more as we really like them. 


Frostings were on sale 4 for $5. 


Some free coffee and tea packets were also added from when we went to visit YD. 

My herbs are still doing well. They are in pots throughout the house. I have dried more parsley and thyme. 

We have been eating out of the freezers a lot lately. I am trying to make room for the turkeys that are on sale this week. We have been using up the old stuff to make room for the new. What have you added to your pantry recently?

    You did super well building your pantry with such low costs Marybeth :).

    We were able to pick up 20 % or more off items with supermarket vouchers and stocked up on a carton of 8 of long life vegetables and meat for just over half price. Our fortnightly grocery shop we got another 15% off with combining supermarket discount codes gift card discounts too.

    All in all a good fortnight and we will be going in to pick up our click and collect grocery order tomorrow and will see if we can find any other really good discounts on items we need.

      I like to know that if a winter storm is going to hit, I don't need anything from the store. We can just start drinking hot chocolate.

    That pumpkin is so beautiful! And so are the orange peppers. You were able to get several good deals. We stocked up on cake mixes, corn, and soup this week.

First Garden Harvest 2020

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
