Shopping day and stocking up! Finding more and more high food prices!

Posted on Friday, November 14, 2008 at 08:11

Well today was the good ole shopping day that lasted from 9 am to 3pm and I am tired! I realized that the good ole Aldis is not the place to shop for alot of deals anymore! I did find good deals through a lady that had dried fruit and nuts for sale at a local home.. I stocked up on dried cranberries, currants, raisins, pineapple and dates.. Nuts are just to much to afford for us! I also shopped for wheat berries at a local merchantile for bulk foods rye and spelt to make flour.. I would love to buy 50# bags but dont know where to ask or go here in eastern kansas without going broke..

I started an amish friendship bread starter for gifts and yummies. Cant wait to bake my first batch. I have done away with alot of extra spending and we only go out every two weeks to get a burger on payday. Finding the cheap way to eat out just as a treat and a break from cooking.

We spent about 1 1/2 hours in Home Depot trying to get the rest of the supplies for the woodstove project.. 300 dollars later we should have everything to get it piped into the house. Whew! what a project!

We are getting little showers the past few days and the wind is turning north tonight and it feels cold in the house.. I am ready to call it a day and cuddle up in my warm comforter and fleece blanket and sleep! But First its hot buttered homegrown popcorn and french vanilla capachino (sp**)

My thought for the day: It is prevelant that Satan is on the prowl.. Knowing that through Christ's blood we have protection~ THank you Lord for your salvation, your mercy, your forgiveness and your grace! Thank you for your protection and the power we have through YOU ! All hail the power of Jesus' name!!!!!!!

hello

Hi! Thanks for posting on my blog! I too, like you, have discovered that Aldi's really isn't for "bargains" anymore. I always tended to come out of there with tons of cheap junk food, but nothing really healthy or satisfying for my family. Gas may have gone down, but food prices have stayed the same or risen some more even. Blessings!

What a long day you had. I bet the warm snuggly felt good. *smile* To be able to rest in the Lord and His every caring hands is a wonderful treat we in the family get to enjoy. Remember to pray always.
