Serious September Savers Frugal Chatter

[Frugalbigmama]

I love grocery shopping and coming home to a clean house and fridge/freezer! You did it the right way!

well instead of going to the store today.. i conquered my housecleaning.
dishes, counters, main floor vacuum, two trees (xmas) combined into one. (other garbage), upstairs bathroom scrubbed. (including me LOL)
next- mix up spaghetti sauce with meat mix... freeze
separate cabbage rolls into bags and freeze.
clean out freezer , reorganize.
clean up bedroom- put boxes away. vacuum.
easily done in the next few hours
THEN tomorrow i can go shopping

ok tonight I want to get tons done at home after I feed kids, clean kitchen, clean school bags, go over homework and get stuff ready for tomorrow! Hahaha! Never enough time! Goal tonight is to put a load of laundry on when DS is in the tub so his clothing today will be washed too! Put the recently purchased Christmas gifts together (instead of tucked all over my closet!) Need another bin since my one is full!) Put away basket of folded laundry. Put a few more things in box to give to friend to sell for me. And whatever little things I do to get myself more organized!

Woohoo!! Down another 3lbs for a total of 7lbs in 2.5 weeks.
Last night my grandpa went out to my cousins farm, she sent him home with some goodies for me. I just finished cleaning them all up.

The corn was way too small for them to sell at their farmers market, I husked it all and it is now boiling. Big thanks to sassyashley for the idea of boiling then freezing!!

Oh and can Someone please tell me what variety of squash the one on the right side is?? Lol.

I hope you are talking about the long yellow one, it looks like some sort of zucchini, and the bigger rounder yellow one is a spaghetti squash ...I think.You impress me with all the cooking you do for such a young lady, and your weight loss is fantastic.Great job!!

Today is being a so-so day. LO is teething his second set of teeth on top. He was up at 1:00am, 3:00am, and started his day at 5:00am. He had a nap for 45min, just before I brought him to daycare for the morning. I dressed up and headed over for a short visit at one of the schools. I don't have any teaching days booked until Sept 26-27th. I am hoping for some more teaching calls. September is typically slow on the substitute teacher list. I was able to pick up a few things on sale at Sobeys and No Frills this morning. I folded my clothes that I washed the other day. I managed to wash 2 sink loads of dishes. LO only had about a 20min nap this afternoon.

I got great mail.
2x good trades (gcs and coupons)
1x Tic Tac t-shirt contest win (finally, after I contacted them on Facebook) I tried on the t-shirt and it doesn't fit me. I set it aside to give to my younger sister for part of her Christmas gift (she lives 5hrs away).
1x Enfagrow samples and various baby coupons (many up for trade)

For those who haven't seen yet, I updated my "Baby Leo" thread with pictures.

Shmeelady is it maybe a summer squash

[Frugalbigmama]

Done most of my things so far and have my youngest bathed and shortly in bed to read. Have the washer ready to go just waiting till I can put on PJ's then I will run it. Dishwasher is running and big pots drying on the counter so will put that away before bed. I'm ready to relax and read myself but should get a few more things done to make tomorrow easier

[MrsSunshine]

well done Mama!

Yes spaghetti squash, I love spaghetti squash!! I love cooking, and seeing what goes into the food I make and fuel my body with. IMO in order to have a healthy relationship with food you need to understand it, here it comes from, how to prepare it and what it does for your body. I try to eat as clean as possible, and do the same for my son.
