Inquiring Minds Want to Know!!!! (it's been a while since anyone posted one)
Since many families go camping during the summer & nicer weather....
Are you tenting, camper trailer, 5th wheel, staying in a cabin/cottage?
Do you bring/cook the foods you would normally at home?
Do you buy special/treat foods as camping is considered a mini vacation (splurge on steaks,etc)
Do you pre-cook any of the foods before leaving to save time?
2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

Well at the moment the cottage is rented out (makes financial sense at the moment) so we are tenting it. We prep as much as we can so we don't have to take as much. We eat the same really. Steak is a regular item in our house so it's not really a splurge. The splurge would be junk for us, nibs, doritos, chips etc. Stuff we don't eat on a weekly basis. I plan on frying up eggs at home so we can make quick English muffins the 1st morning. so yes we do pre-cook some things. One year we planned to have rice with chicken for change instead of potatoes so we made the rice at home and just heated up camping.

I'm starting to plan our camping food. Ceaser salad for sure as both kids like it. My plan this weekend is to get organized for our 1st camping trip of the year which I hope to book this weekend for the 1st weekend of summer

We are finished with camping and just gave our tent away-if away we usually do a house exchange or stay with relatives or in a cabin or inexpensive motel. We cook for ourselves if we have the facilities but might eat out once per day. If we are buying food while away it is often something from the gorcery store like a cooked chicken, salad and bread and fruit to eat in our room rather than a restaurant meal which we splurge on now and again.

Good Morning All,
Maddensmomma hope you and your family feel better
Cannot really comment on camping as neither of my parents really seem to have use for the outdoors and they have passed it on to their kids. Mom's idea of camping is Holiday Inn (her words not mine) and dad says after doing installs for so long he feels no need to spend time outside unless working on something.
Been kind of busy the last two days, Monday night I finally got all of our plants planted so now we wait and see if my adventures in gardening will pay off. Than last night, all I wanted to do was nothing, I woke up in the morning with a lump on my neck and my neck was bugging me and than I developed a tension headache so all I wanted to do was sit on my butt and do nothing but that did not happen, instead I ended up putting away all of the dishes, emptied the dishwasher, reloaded the dishwasher, did all the hand dishes, and took our garbage. The kitchen floor needed to be cleaned as something was spilled on it when something was put in the garbage but in all honesty I could not bend over to do it so I decided that was enough and went to bed to lay on a heating pad.
Already took a sneak peak at the flyers so far the only thing really jumping out at me is the Free BBQ Sauce at No Frills, but will take a closer look tomorrow and see if there is anything else we need. Think we will go out Saturday and go shoe shopping as I live in running shoes and mine are getting worn out.
Hope everyone has a great day.2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,
follow along as tackle day to day life and whatever else 2021 throws at me:

Got a few things done, packed away the books I get for free from the general store (love that book exchange) so that they are put away for later reading, will keep adding to eat over the summer as they close it down in later October before the snow flies.
Dishes are done, laundry is folded I just need to package up some of my clothing that is more fall geared than summer and I am bursting at the seams (lol) small closet but it was all free so I can't complain.
I weighed myself today as I have been off my diet for a while, went off just before Easter and had to laugh as I lost 3 pounds
Posted a few of the boys clothing items for sale on 2 facebook pages not asking a lot just want them gone and a few bucks in my pocket would be awesome. Not posting pictures right away as I don't want to run up my gb of internet usage.
DH is at the cottage for 2 reasons 1) to meet with the hunting guys and make plans and the 2nd is move the furniture in the loft bedroom BUT I Just noticed the other 2 fellas decided to change the location of the meeting from 1 persons property to another guys garage, I have no way of getting a hold of dh as we do not have cellphones, emailed the guy back telling him that dh did not see the message before he left and will be showing up at the original location.2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

Nancy- I thought you were having a relaxing day! You have been busy. I should take a weekday off before the kids are out of school but with only 2 weeks left it doesn't leave me much time.

Good morning! Yay, we have sun! Hoping we have a day or two without rain.
Never have been camping, never have wanted to.
Our son, though, got introduced to it through friends and he's gone for a day or two. He's going at the end of the month.
Hope everyone has a FAB day!
