I want to go shopping with Marilyn too. I see Fresh Thyme is a chain, I was going to say the closest nice farmers market to us won't be open other than weekends until the end of this month...and it's an hour away. We're really short a good local store now with losing our Haggen Top foods to their bankruptcy. Walmart remodeled and added full grocery and there seems to be a wide variety, many choices, of packaged foods, canned, spices etc but I don't buy a lot of those products - I am not impressed with produce, dairy, meats there.

That pretty much leaves Safeway. With this weeks sale I paid 87 cents/pound for whole chickens yesterday. 69 cents/lb for cabbage. Asparagus was $2.99/lb and I passed, didn't buy any. Avocados $1.50 each. Not a real bargain in the basket ;-)

Nicole, I just went back and read through your figures. Wow. You may take the best shoppers award for the day....

I want to go shopping with you. ☺ I did get chicken legs for $.49lb. And white potatoes 10lbs/$2.19. Shared some of those with a relative.

Shirley, who is enjoying a beautiful sunshiny day here in Ohio. Only needed a light weight jacket. That's to change this weekend though.

Thanks for your kind words . . . and your enabling (LOL) ;^D I do have to make one correction, though: the gold & white plates were $1 each, not $2. Patty: girl, you get out a lot! I've seen your bargains, but if you want to zip down here, we can go out bargain hunting together and really do some damage! Jane: you have the turquoise? I saw a few of those recently; they're lovely! I have 4 (or 6?) of the same pattern in the cream and really like them. It's scary when you have so many dishes you can't remember things like that! You should have seen DD yesterday when she saw the 3 new groups of dishes (ROFLMAO). There was a lot of eye rolling! Jeanne: yes, you are a very bad/good enabler! I plan on checking out some tablescape pics here to inspire me. Kathleen: thanks. If you have any pics of white & gold tables, I'd love to see them. I need inspiration. Punk: Thanks! I'm anxious to get started on the plates.

Sorry, no big deals here to chortle over. I can't believe this obsession with name brand clothing, etc. Seems to me that if the maker wants to put his name on a shirt, shoes, etc. that I'll wear (hopefully for years), s/he should sell it to me for half price. I advertise his product every time that I wear it. When s/he tells me that, due to the wonderful cachet of their brand name, exclusivity and all (but they willingly sell it to all comers) I must pay double the price of run-of-the-mill products for it .... I say that's *smart marketing*!! Seems to me that we should just laugh at them and tell them to get lost!! Momma Bird in good old Ohio - we're waiting for you to show us a picture of you modelling your lovely new suit. Kathy - sounds like a good idea to pick up a few of those wonderful desks ... and publicize them on eBay. Good wishes for stretching your dollars ... (I was tempted to add, something like, " ... but not your stories, please" but forebore - I have had no reason to believe that I've seen stories stretched around here. Accusing someone of lying is not exactly a laughing matter, in my book. Though I do enjoy a good laugh, as several of you know - usually of the rather dry kind of humour. Enjoy your summer, sharing good times with loved ones and friends. I just lost a good friend - a hard worker and smart - not yet 60. Lung trouble - he smoked (cigars). ole joyful

What Shopping Bargains Have You Found This Week?

We went to Academy sports, they had a great sale price on some very cute short boots. I don't have anything like that anymore. I like them for wearing with my skinny leg pants and jeans. I was trying to decide between a brown pair and a black pair. Hubby said Merry Christmas get both since they are on sale. I mean a girl has to rebuild her shoe collection! So I got both. We needed to replace our good electric knife and they had a $79 one on sale for $29. We got it. The best electric knives are found in the fishing department for filleting fish. Awesome knives. I used to buy the ones you find in kitchen goods, no comparison. One year for Christmas I bought my mom and mother in law each one of them. They were amazed at how much better they were. So if you need a good electric knife go check out the fishing department! Academy has quite a few. Also at academy we both got new slippers. Great price on them.

WELL DONE!!!! I found leg quarters for 49-cents/pound this week. I try to never spend over $2 per pound for meat, which is getting harder to find, and I have a $10/week meat budget at any cost per pound. I thought I was getting a good deal on cabbage at 44-cents/pound! The best I could do for eggs was $1.88 for 18. I would be absolutely giddy if I could get eggs under $1 a dozen. That might happen Easter week. When eggs are over a $1 per dozen I only buy one dozen per month and use powdered eggs and egg substitutes (chia and flax) for cooking and baking.
