September 2020 Frugal Chatter thread

[Ciel]

Ready for the "new year" in late summer. Last round of peaches, cherries and other tender fruits!

[flemeth]

Thank you @Ciel for starting this thread

Hoping for the weather to stay hot and sunny so that a few vegetables in my DH garden can ripen like the hot peppers , tomatoes and the few more squash and butternut squash get to grow some more. Also hoping to find some awesome food coupons like the cheese , Becel etc

Fortinos stores seems to have only the $1.49 wide PC recyclable totes but not the 99 cents ones. @lilo0003 does RCSS in your area stock the 99 cent totes? I could not even find a used one at Talize because I made a point to check the bag section just in case there was one for sale.

My August coupons have been tossed out and I have very few on hand for purchases. I am going to have to be smart about food purchases this month--been a busy week of stocking up on other things or replacing things.

Think the lentil "meat loaf" is due to appear on the menu this week. Certainly not the lentil stew-I was stuck eating it all on my own and that was not fun.

It is beautiful out. I think I will clean out my vehicle later this afternoon. Give it a good wipe down inside. Now that all the junk is out of it.

I have 4lbs of carrots I need to deal with. Think I will chop them up and freeze them. Then can add to crockpot meals and soup etc.

Freezer is full and we have enought to last 1 week until another grocery shopping trip.Did not buy ground beef because I found some frozen have to use it in a chinese pate maybe but this week price at 2,69$ lb at super c I think was great ..


Nothing appealing me in the news flyers except laura secord chocolate spread(will be a treat),uncle bens rice at metro and maybe pork tenderlion,peachs and plums at 1,99$ lbs at maxi,bananas,milk and hams and eggs...see minimalist shopping...I put my budget at 50$ for next week... really that is the max I could spend...hope it will be less
