    I went for a walk in this windy weather. Thought I was going to blow over!! My dog goes out quickly and doesn't mess around out there.

    Really no snow on the ground. Just wind blowing it around.

    @Frugalbigmama we had a bunch of squalls but it would snow start to stick and then the wind and sun would come out and the snow would be gone. I am not complaining, I am happy to not need to shovel.

    Good Morning! We didn't wake up to the expected snow they were calling for. I'm ok with that!

    Many pile ups on the 400 yesterday. So many bad sections that this happens on everytime we have snow squalls etc. So happy I didn't have far to go.

    DS can only eat thinly sliced meat on his sandwiches so I won't cook up roast beef. I found sliced meat on the Flashfood app for a good deal so will walk up and pick that up later today. Will use up for his school lunch sandwiches for the rest of the week.

    I took the BLSC out of the freezer for dinner tonight (Chicken Tetrazini) Have everything needed so will make that later this afternoon.

    Today I will focus on laundry and tidying up my bedroom. Friday I hope to start posting stuff for sale again for porch pickup. My fun money jar needs to be fed!!!

    Have a frugal and safe day everyone!

    I just cleaned out the fridge. Tossed a few things. Moved yogurt to the freezer for smoothies.
    Will make smoothies every afternoon this week since I stocked us up on Almond milk and yogurt. Use up what we have!

    Kitchen is clean but I think I will cook up the pasta now. Then I can clean the pot. I heat up this pasta dish in a fry pan before serving so it is piping hot so it is great to prep stuff ahead of time and then just whip it all together in the pan to heat up and serve.

    Just cleaned out a reuseable bag full of expired flyers and coupons.
    I sat it under my desk so I would see it and do it and finally did.

    One thing with not really shopping my purse stays clean! Usually I just take in my credit card so no junk gets put in my purse.

    Good Evening Everyone,
    Today was a busy day, normally I book 2 training sessions a day but today and tomorrow I booked 3 as we have a number of employees I want to spend some time working with.

    I did not want to lose steam on getting stuff done around the house so when I had a minute here or there I worked on some of the smaller tasks on my list:
    Well I made myself a honey and lemon this morning I got all of the hand dishes done, there were not a lot but nice to have them done

    A comforter I crocheted for Mom was living on my Bedroom floor, I am not sure how I ended up with it but it was there so I washed it and put it in her room.

    I washed the last load from my room, a load of red/pink and hung them up to dry. Tomorrow I will bring them up and sort it.

    Mom had been planning to go pick-up a curbside order today so I planned a slow cooker meal I could prep on my lunch. Even though she did not go I was committed, everything was out. I made Garlic Butter Chicken, Potatoes & Carrots in the slow cooker, when I read the notes on the recipe a lot of people said they found it to be bland and did not have enough seasonings so I added in some extras. It was tasty but next time I would not cook it as long, the recipe called for 4 hours on high but the potatoes were a little softer than I normally prefer.

    Now to figure out dinner for tomorrow, thinking I might keep it super simple and have Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches (BBQ Chicken is cooked and in the freezer) with Garlic Parm Roasted Sweet Potatoes and a Cesar Salad. We will see tomorrow.

    One more thing on the work to-do-list for today to get done and then see if I can get a few more small things done around the house before bedtime. I got this, I can do this, keep pushing on.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful night

    Good Morning and Happy Hump Day! For some reason I was thinking it was March 6th. Only the 3rd!!
    @flemeth - Did you print off the $5 Lightlife coupon? It is not my guys fav (he just tried the Impossible meat on Monday night-we had burgers and salad for dinner) and he loves it. I tried it and it does taste not so fake (I do not like the fake meats at all) Hope to stock up the freezer this weekend so will be on a hunt for a deal to use coupons.

    I came into the office this morning to get some stuff done and file away stuff I was done with. Has been a very productive morning so far.

    I went to RCSS yesterday and decided to redeem $20 in PC PTS from my 2nd card. I got a tray of BLSL chicken breast, 4L milk, bananas and miracle whip (DS's request- $2.99 is my price but it was on sale for $3.48 with 500 PC PTS so figured not bad since I was redeeming. Well it gave me the 500 pc pts twice so that made me happy Paid $1 and change after redeeming points.
    Spent $3 earlier in the afternoon for a loaf of fresh bread and sliced meat (flashfood) for DS's school lunch sandwiches this week.

    I have been doing lots of retirement research (early) lately. I have a good plan and as soon as an empty nester may take the dive!!! So purging is in full mode now! And all $ put in travel account
