Homekeeping on Hazel Ave

Hitching a ride with the Meineke man

DH has my van again today.  He decided last night after tearing into his brakes that he wasn't quite confident enough to do the job so he left it at the Meineke place.  DH said M would call when it was finished and they'd come pick me up so I could pay them and get the truck.  Sooooo I'll be headed to town later.  I plan to buy 2 gallons of milk and a can of wax beans (bluck, but DH requested them)  I will probably make some pudding or a cream pie with our leftover milk that expires today.  DH LOVES my brown sugar pudding in his lunch.  A cold chocolate creme pie is already on the menu for today.  My dd is thrilled that tonight is HER meal (she planned it).  Tacos and chocolate creme pie.

While in town I also plan to run by Target to buy the baby two new pacifiers and a dust ruffle for dd's bed.  We've been making do with an OLD dust ruffle for several years.  It finally gave out early last week. 

OH!  Today is payday.  I deducted $100 from my balance with a note (-$100 for groceries on the CC).  The last bill of the month will be paid out of next week's check. (hoping to pay $250 on the baby's medical bill)   Then we'll have the 21st and 28th to save for next month's bills.  I've decided that whatever cash is left from my weekly $25 will go into a stash for NEXT month's stock up.

One more thing.  As soon as my cool whip container is empty I'm going to turn it into my soup container.  I'm planning to keep it in the freezer and throw in any leftover vegetables and ground meat.  At the end of the month we might have a tasty soup meal!

Gonna go make myself  a Grocery $ envelope so I can keep it separate.

Have a great day!
