The months are whizzing past and here we are 1/4 of the way through 2026 already. My goodness.
I went shopping today and will not make all of you suffer through pictures of what I purchased. I did pick up 2 tins of tuna at $0.93 each and 3 tins of smoked oysters at just under $2.00 each for the pantry.
Stocked up on some meat, and bought the flour that was on sale. Still even watching and purchasing on sale items I went through almost half my monthly grocery budget. Mind you that included laundry items, some Kitty Litter, and a new loaf pan so I can rid myself of the one that is 50 years old (got it as a shower gift) and which is not in the best of shape. Still I am shocked at how much things are costing from week to week.
It took me almost 3 hours to do my shopping this morning. Of course I had to see people I knew who wanted to talk, and a nice gentleman and I had a lovely talk in the Co-op parking lot about Easter. I really need to hide when I am shopping so as to finish a bit earlier. Harvey asked how many people I had conversations with considering how long I was gone. I also took probably close to an hour to get things away and the meat packaged up for the freezer.
This meant my back and hips were pretty much shot so most of the afternoon was spent watching video's on the computer. I did manage to wind one of the shuttles for weaving though, so all was not a complete loss.
Tomorrow I will need to buckle down and get some baking done as well as work on those projects for this month.
Speaking of projects perhaps I should let you all know what is planned to be completed.
1. Weave the scarves I want to give Kurt and Kris for Christmas.
2. Knit mitts to use up more of the bits and bobs of yarn.
3. Get my printed out craft projects from the last year put in binders.
4. Same goes for those printed recipes I have been saving.
5. Cut out some clothing patterns to sew next month.
6. Make Thank you cards using my Cricut.
7. Make some Birthday cards using the Cricut as well.
That's the plan, and I am so hoping to get things done.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
