August Grocery Haul

This month's haul ended on a dramatic note. Yesterday after we got done at a local thrift store I realized that I had lost my debit card for my bank account. As I stood dumbfounded at the register at Ollie's when the reality hit me that my card is lost. I tried to trace my steps backward without hyperventilating in the store and requiring medical treatment. After going back to the thrift store and discovering the card isn't there either, we went to the bank for the dreaded reporting the card lost and backtracking my last transaction. Luckily, that was the easy part. We got some money moved around and withdrew the amount needed to fix my car tomorrow. I will then have new breaks all the way around. Yeah! Identity theft is no joke y'all. I can do an amazing amount of damage to someone's life.

Anyway, let's get to the haul. The first haul I got our snack items which should last about a week if we manage them carefully.  We had two-party size bags of Cheetos regular and puffs. Those are my daughter's favorite. Both were $3.98 each. At Kroger, they are five dollars each. Doritos are $2.5 each again at Kroger, almost $4 each. I got the store brand of Alieve. I don't buy name brand nothing if I don't have to. I simply won't do it. Dr. Pepper is $6.98 plus $2.10 for the MI deposit. Thank you, Michigan. That comes out to $.10 each can when you turn them into the bottle room at the grocery store. No, you can't take Sam's brand to Kroger or Kroger store brand to Wal-Mart. Those items have to go back to the original store.  If your state does this, please comment below. Seriously sharp cheese from Vermont, Yummy!!! That was $2.78. I love this cheese in grilled cheese or quesadillas. Then there was 3 Muskateers and Rice Krispy Treat bar. Don't go to the store until after you have had breakfast kiddies. Toilet paper, $14 for a month's supply I know Leisa Sutton would have a fit if she saw that. Dish soap for $2.78 that should last a month or so. I almost for the flea stuff for Sarge, $4.98 for dogs of 5 to 15 lbs. He's worth it...

The second part of the haul. Roman at $1.44 this is a staple around any home with teenagers. Blue Cheese dressing, I originally planned on making this from scratch however, losing my card just put me in a funk so we bought it at $3.98. It will last a couple weeks then we will buy the cheese and make the dressing because, yes, I already have everything to make it. Pressed orange juice which is $1.00 which isn't bad considering its orange juice and nothing else. Teen approved and loved so much she bought another bottle today. Two different smoothies one is Mange Pineapple Colada and the other is Strawberry. They are $1.94. Popcorn Shrimp/Chicken $2.50 each. Not the best thing in the world be a good me hold over till dinner. Mango marked down at $1.95. She devoured like a savage. I didn't even get a smell of it. Of course, cat litter was essential at $4.98 a box who can argue with that. That is it today we picked up ahead of lettuce at Aldi's. Which brings me to the disappointing news about their canning jars, the jars are made by Crofton. I have used Crofton glass products before and didn't have a great experience. As for the starter kit, that looked good. As for the water bath canner, I would be careful again. Just go to Wal-Mart and get the jars and starter kit. If you see this and you've had great luck with Crofton glass products please post below I would love to hear your success story.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

America: How Does She Change?

The last few days, I have seen numerous videos regarding the trafficking of humans getting worse than ever in this cesspool called America. This has got to stop. NOW! No more waiting.  September 5, 1985! The day when Johnny Gosch went missing. Nooren Gosch has done multiple interviews about what her family went through after Johnny Gosch went missing. Mrs. Gosch was told Johnny would come home after he calmed down. They let her know he was ‘a runaway”. Sound familiar? The FBI was of NO help. So, the idea that the FBI 'recovered’ children in Florida is a joke. How did they come in and find these children out of the blue? Seriously! Approximately 73 million children since 2023. Why aren't these numbers updated?  I just find it strange that Trump's attempts to cover up his involvement with Epstein AND Maxwell, BPFs to the super elite, was a disaster, now the FBI find over 60 children in Florida, home of Mar Lago, are instantly found. Then there were children rescued in Louisia...
