It is very ...I really like having a digital scale. It is very helpful in portioning out meat for the freezer and cooking just the right amount of pasta for two.<br /><br />Have you considered doing a meatless meal or two each week to cut the grocery budget? My oldest daughter cut her grocery bill from $150 to $85 a week by going to only one main meal with meat a week. She feeds many extra people most days because her husband is an outreach pastor and he brings people home with him most days. I am not interested in doing that at all but we don't mind a beans and rice meal or other vegetarian meal every week. And it is good for us!<br /><br />The incessant rain here is keeping us from getting outside work done and I had to cancel having the window washers come next week because we are not ready for them. I found a company to do the outsides of the windows for $8 each. We have 10 windows that have to be done on a 24 ft ladder and each window has 15 panes of glass to be cleaned. Worth every penny of $8 each to have them done. It keeps hubby off the ladder and he does not have to do it. Standing on a ladder half the day and moving it all those times is brutal. I don't know when we can reschedule now. I wanted to get them done before all the holiday company but I may just have to get over it.<br /><br />I have been picking up good deals on Christmas gifts and now it is time to really get to work. I need to get out there and shop one day a week and get it done.<br /><br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-21643285634572244062015-10-31T06:19:28.593-04:002015-10-31T06:19:28.593-04:00I found a good food scale at Aldii's for 10 do...I found a good food scale at Aldii's for 10 dollars.

You are amazing!<br /><br />I think it was you who mentioned the program Home Fires. I watched the entire first season online this week and loved it. The bad part is now I have to wait so long for season 2 to come out!! <br /><br />It's the weekend and I've managed to do my grocery shopping tonight after work. I didn't need a whole lot of things so that helped tremendously. It has rained here literally all day long. We needed it but it made for a day where I'd rather have been home pottering around than at my desk at work. <br /><br />Several things to take care of tomorrow - oil change in my car, laundry to do, some decluttering in the bedroom. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
