i am keeping my pantry, freezer stocked high. its worth it to me to avoid the local stores prices. and i am very good about stock rotation.

Congrats on the deals. Good idea to stock the pantry in case there is a second wave and we go backwards and things get closed up again. Really like the back to school sales in the grocery stores: some good pantry deals this week.

I went to Sobeys today as I totally forgot Thursday is DHs bday. They had tenderloin on sale and I had bought gift cards last month to get the Air Miles. 2 of my offers were missing and normally I don’t bother because it’s not easy to correct them but was 50 AM. I find it hard to believe but the agent said they can only give me one of my missing offers. So I still have the buy anything get 25 miles. Not sure I will make it back before it expires. I paired DHs SDM offers with some Christmas package stuff and earned 25000 PCO. Dinner was pancakes and sausage because that’s what the kids picked and it feels like fall.

Good Morning Everyone,
Fairly productive morning, my aim was to be done by noon so I am right one track. So far I have:
Stripped Both beds, my sheets are back on my bed, just need to do my comforter, Mom's sheets are in the washer, will also wash the couch blankets since the last couple of nights we have been using them again.

Made a Triple Berry Ricotta Cake, although I made it as 2 loaves instead of one cake

I am having a Chicken Parm Bake for dinner, so I have made it and put it in the fridge, it is a bag of Shredded Chicken Parm from the freezer, I added some Peppers and Mushrooms and some pasta, I will bake it off

I did the Pasta in the Instant Pot so I did not have to babysit it on the stove

I had some extra Pasta so I used up a bag of Frozen California Mix and added some Butter, Garlic, Seasonings and Parm and have turned that into lunches for the week

First thing this morning I loaded the dishwasher, ran it (still need to empty, the top of empty need to empty the bottom) I also did all of the hand dishes. I cleaned as I went so the kitchen is cleanish (just waiting for the skillet and loaf pans to cool a little so I can wash those)

I also totally cleaned on section of our kitchen, I scrubbed down the counter, the walls and cabinets, so part of the kitchen is done, other part will not be done today. Doing the whole kitchen in one day really hurts my back. I got it this part done, my back is happy so no need to push it.

Only thing I have not gotten done is cleaning the bathroom, it may or may not happen today and either way I am good.

Off to figure out lunch, have a great afternoon everyone

We did not get the insert, but we have someone in our neighbourhood that takes the papers So it’s possible she is just taking inserts now. It’s funny because the neighbourhood FB group goes crazy that she steals them and yet most people just toss them in recycling.
need to get my butt moving as I am still on the deck with my coffee
