Ouch on the the snow blower cost especially if you have snow on the ground...all we have is green grass right now. Hopefully you feel better soon and don't share with everyone else. Hopefully your kids managed to fend for themselves food wise. Hopefully they manage to find everything that it is on your Christmas list while out shopping today.

We grocery shopped on Friday, spent $78.31 and used $135.00 between PC points and coupons. Both my freezers are now full.
Christmas get together went over well yesterday and it was nice that everybody else cooked besides me. I did dessert and also know have a fridge full of left overs. Plan on doing nothing today as I am exhausted from yesterday.
I think I will be waiting awhile to make pecan muffins as the cost for pecans was $10.00. Ouch.

I barely slept last night. I'm hoping to get some sleep later today. I still need to spend quite a bit of time planning for the next week of classes for students I have never met. It should be interesting.
I just weighed myself this morning. I hit 173lbs for the first time in several years!! My BMI is now at 24.8, just into my "healthy" weight range! This was my goal. I am so happy to come on here and share it with you guys. I have been working so much the last three months that I have rarely been exercising. My food choices have also been hit and miss. DQ blizzard fan club BOGO coupons are too tempting to resist, but I also bought a 2lb bag of Mann's sugar snap peas that I have been packing in my work lunches. I wish you all the best of luck.Last edited by Angela273; Sun, Dec 14th, 2014 at 09:22 AM. Reason: typing error

Good Morning All,
Did inventory yesterday, we are done so no Sunday (yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but it was a very long day. I worked 7:30 to 4:30 but for some reason inventory makes the day feel twice along, probably because there is a lot of go go go, work faster and than waiting. doing nothing which makes the day seem so long. But we are done yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just need to go over a few things and email them to our controller to show that other locations have thrown off our inventory by transferring the product in but than billing it out of their own location so we are sitting on mystery stock that does not exist.
Went shopping on Friday with Mom after work, I am pretty sure that based on what we bought we should now be good on groceries until after Christmas. I got 3 - 10 lb bags of potatoes for $1.47 each (almost one whole bag will just be for Christmas Dinner between potatoes for dinner and we do a potato stuffing), as well we bought out turkey, we were originally going to just do a turkey breast since there are only 3 of us but it was going to cost us the same just for a turkey breast as it would for a whole turkey thanks to Wal-Mart's $0.75/lb price so we got a whole turkey.
As well I forced Mom into getting most of her Christmas shopping done, she has been putting it off due to lack of $$$ which I totally get but we are running out of time. Turns out my SDM redemption kind of back fired on me, there are very few things I want this year so I got the few things I wanted plus a lot for Mom and Bro but now Mom feels like I made it so I did not have to spend $$$ out of pocket but she will have to because there is so much more for everyone else and little for me. I just cannot think of a lot I want this year, the few things I do want are out of the budget so I am fine going without but now Mom is getting upset with me she cannot see that I am telling her not to spend the $$$ instead getting mad that I want nothing. I finally gave her two options yesterday so we will see the only comment I got was that is cheaper than what I bought your bro (not sure if that is a good or bad thing). I still need to find something to get her but everything I come up with she changes her mind and no longer wants. We have decided we will go out one final time before Christmas on Tuesday when I get off at work so hoping for everything to get done.
The good news is 4 more days of work and than 2 weeks off, oh how I cannot wait.
Hope everyone has a great day2022 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:

CouponGirl: I bought lamb. DH loves it so it has become our Christmas dinnertradition. My mom does the turkey on boxing day. So yes I used the points, best part is I bought the PC easy carve and did not realize I had an offer for lamb. It said fresh lamb which of course this time of year does not exist so I scored 6000 points. We have dinner just the 4 of us and the day is just us too. We did this when the kids we young just to not be on the 403/401 four hours on Christmas day. They are older now so will switch it up so that the years my brother has the kids on Christmas day we will do the drive. But I liked our own little tradition when they were young.
Today I am baking two Christmas brownies & a GF brownie but since there are coming from a mix they don’t count. Then I will do a batch of shortbread. (DH’s favourite)
Friends don't let real friends pay full price.

Good morning (afternoon? already?), everyone.
Party was a lot of fun last night. Most folks left, but the die-hards stayed til 1am. 3 of us stayed to do the clean-up, not just of the room, but the last remnants of the wine. Great food (even if the little heathens around here scarfed it down as soon as I put it out - I learned my lesson & started putting a few things aside for myself before I put things out after the first round ). I spent the whole day doing last minute things, prettying up the room, prepping some of the food, then finally got to bed around 3am. Then another hour or so this morning resetting the furniture in the room & do a quick clean up (after your third glass of wine, you don't really notice the asiago dip on the floor ).
Today is a day of rest for me (my feet are killing me!). If I feel brave, I might venture over to my neighbours & go to the Xmas market (it is so pretty, but yesterday they had something I'd never seen before - the huge complex was so crowded with tourists, they actually had to control how many people entered).
Off to make lunch for myself and the brats (I don't trust them in the kitchen or I'd ask them to do the work).
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

I don't blame you that seems very expensive for pecans....geez...they are not made of gold , I buy the small packs at WM for $2.50 and also I forgot to mention I don't double the pecans if I am making a double batch....that may help

coupon girl so pleased for you and your achievement of doing some baking my dear, it must have felt really good and of course the sampling is always a must (wink).
Here is my shortbread cookie recipe that I got from a co-worker many years ago, enjoy.
1 cup of butter
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of icing sugar
1/2 cup of cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla
directions - beat above and bake at 350 for approx. 12 minutes or until golden brown.Last edited by jasperandchar; Sun, Dec 14th, 2014 at 08:39 PM.
