I am curious! :)<br />Another blogger who I can't find anymore! :( Said the condiment sales are during Memorial Day sales ads. She stocks up at that time. She said you would think they would be on the 4th ads but they are not. I noticed even the stores had the flags and such out more for that holiday than the 4th this year. After that weekend they sold the stuff for half off and did not get more! What was up with that? :)<br />I saw some Woman's Days for sale at the used store this week but they said for the monthly recipes to go to their www! These magazines were old so no way of knowing if the recipes would even still be available. I do find current issues though but having to go online took the fun out of it to me. I am tired already of grocery stores telling you to go on line to get the coupons and if not you pay full price for their 'sale' that week. I know of many people that don't have computers and never will. Let alone a printer. Other than a few hiccups though, life is good! ;-) SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-41619115463312239502014-08-10T08:05:25.628-04:002014-08-10T08:05:25.628-04:00I kind of "slipped" with my no/low spend...I kind of "slipped" with my no/low spending for July. Between homeschool curriculum and finding some awesome clearance deals at Kohls and Hobby Lobby, well...let's just say I made some extra purchases. Luckily, there was nothing outrageous. The curriculum is a need and the other purchases were to help make my house my "domain". I'm here all of the time so I want it to reflect who I am and I want it give me comfort and happiness. In my eyes, that makes it well worth the money.<br /><br />August seems to be going much better. Only out of necessity, I believe. We had to replace our hot water heater suddenly (had the money in savings), plus we are replacing the windows in our two-story house (one room at a time and being paid with cash).<br /><br /><br />As for an early fall, I completely agree with you. Here in central North Carolina, the leaves on the dogwood trees are starting to change. They have that faint shade of red starting to peek through on the leaves. Plus my summer gardens are almost done. Tomatoes are no longer ripening on the vine. Cucumber vines are wilted away and pumpkins are turning bright orange. I say bring it on...I LOVE fall! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840913102234982646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-78950346057933628792014-08-08T16:23:38.710-04:002014-08-08T16:23:38.710-04:00It always surprises me when you say fall is coming...It always surprises me when you say fall is coming. Here in western NY we are not really seeing golden rod or any trees turning. Maybe that is our reward for our long hard snowy winter. You made me happy when you said you don't always stick to your menu. Reduced my guilt for the sandwiches when Gramps says he isn't hungry! I always read your blog and look forward to "seeing" you on Thrifty. I know what you mean by sometimes needing someone else to pray for you. Sometimes I just have to say "okay Lord I don't know the answer but you do".

My husband has become remarkably agreeable about mealtime and happily eats anything I set out so leftovers and veggies are never going to waste either.<br /><br />Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.com
