Homekeeping on Hazel Ave

Clearing out to stock up

I am trying to use up what I have to eat around here BEFORE I do the big stock up for September.  DH informed me he would be home for 4 days this holiday weekend to which I replied...."are they trying to put us in the POOR house?!"  We're already THERE btw at present.  No really by our own doing this time.  THIS time...LOL  DH is in industrial construction therefore when it rains....he generally has to come home.  We've had alot of rain in the last month and a half and not enough overtime to make up the difference plus medical and dental bills we weren't really planning to have lately.  BUT God is good and He hasn't let us starve yet.  snicker.  I will admit my response to DH was NOT honoring to the Lord.  I am ashamed that I reacted this way and will speak to DH tonight, asking his forgiveness.  I can only imagine how he felt when I blurted out what I did.   ANYWAY..back to why I actually started this post.  Although I'm trying to clear out the Lord brought a great deal before me yesterday so I took it.  With the store coupons our local store prints out with their receipt I bought a can of green beans, sack of flour, bag of sugar and a 2L pepsi for $2.30.  Pretty cool huh!  I can make ALOT with that flour and sugar!

oops...gotta run for now  Chore time. 

Ok, I'm back from chore time and also have the baby down for a nap so I can get back to why I posted about DH being off this weekend.  With him HOME...that means, Lord willing, I can do my shopping without the kids in tow.   What a treat!  Don't get me wrong.  I love my kids and on most days like em pretty good but getting to shop without them will be sooo nice. (well until I have to load all my stuff onto the conveyor and shlep it to the car....ok, so maybe I'll take the strongest one with me...lol)  While the baby is napping I'll take an inventory of "What's Left" and see what I can make with it.  I'll be counting my $2.30 items as part of the stock up..not the leftovers.

Ok, I'm off to KEEP My Home! 

welcome
