May 2016 Frugal Chatter - ALL WELCOME

[sweet sparrow]

I don't suppose anyone knows of a grain, dairy, egg, and nut-free dessert? Kid friendly, and something besides a fruit platter, which has already been volunteered. I feel sorry for the poor mum!

-well hung a line of clothing out -stained a small extras railing we made for our deck -it will go on the top of the privacy part
-then decided to do some weeding -then ashlyn came for a visit with son after he took her swimming
-I took her for a wagon ride and when she went to go she had a frezzie and then a meltdown putting her into the car seat -she wanted my cup with the apple juice in it -ahhh almost 2 and a half to 3 year olds can be trying sometimes -anyway she made me a bird feeder for mothers day and I showed it to her -she said "birdies eat numanum (her word for bird seed)-lol

-hubby was stressed today 2 kids acting up on his bus pushing swearing -so he had to write out a report(hopefully these 2 children lose the privilege of the bus as they have acted up before) -I think he has had enough for the year -I told him count down the days -lol
-supper tonight lasagna and garlic toast

All the power to your hubby! I wouldn't be able to do it. And yes we are all counting down till school is finished! I am so done packing lunches. Looking forward to going home at lunch and making something for DS or having a plate of leftovers ready for him to heat up. He is attending a few hockey camps but not going to other camps as the norm for daycare so my summer costs are going way down which is great!

what has been frugal about May for us? Not much. The vets bill and vehicle servicing dinged us pretty good....ouch!
Today I bought a 100 ml bottle of Rufus' pain meds ( cheaper the bigger the bottle you buy ) and $150.00 OOP later I am asking
" why can't I list him as a dependent on my Drug plan? " I hug him waaaay more than the 2 human offspring here.

The work day is finished!! Head home to feed DS quick. Will bring all dirty laundry to laundry room and sort it so I am ready to start it after hockey night. Will clean 1 bathroom and then have a quick shower! Washed dishes at lunch so they will be dry and ready to put away. Dishwasher isn't full so any dirty dishes will go in there and keep the kitchen clean. Fridge needs to be cleaned out and meals planned from veggies on hand. Will do that tomorrow night while prepping dinner. Something good on the bbq to go with the leftover Corona from last weekend

Independent grocers has the sunlight power core laundry tabs (20 or 24) on sale for $4.49 - $2 = $2.49 20 tabs = .12 cents each OR 24 tabs = .10 cent so I'm going to stock up

I so feel for bus drivers, 3 kids on Logan's bus got kicked off months ago and the bus is much more pleasant, sometimes it comes to safety, bus drivers or drivers should not be distracted and he is doing the right thing writing them up

yes vet suck, they are so expensive and they are so unpredictable at times

I still can't wrap my head around a school asking students to paint the lines in the parking lot. That is definitely not washable paint, thick, and very permanent. Has it worked into the fibres? If not, it might be able to be frozen and then peeled off. The activity itself sounds more like community service or child labour rather than art class.

YES! I did not even get into my perspective on this!!! lol

I wanted to look up something new for this too. People tend to turn to me for allergy stuff, but cutting out gluten is one thing and cutting out EVERYTHING to encompass everyone's allergy is harder!

Perhaps these if coconut is okay.

Good morning - we're on a warming trend, so that's good - we should hit double digits today!

Did some shopping last night - treat for us was to buy a few packages of back ribs because they are a great price and the best ribs ever - of all places, they are from Austria! We get them whenever our Co-op has them in.

Hope everyone has a great day!
