Grocery Shops in Review #4

Hey! Did you miss last week's review??

That's because I didn't go to the store again! Well, we were out of town on Thursday Friday and Saturday to MD Anderson and we did spend quite a bit on food eating out but that does not count towards my grocery budget.

The hotel we stay at does have a Krogers within walking distance and we did buy some bottled water along with some sweets for Hubby ... oh, and I did buy a few little containers of cut up fruit and a Breakfast Bistro Box ... our total was under $20 ...

Sunday - February 3, 2019
Aldi - $101.19

I do feel like this shop made up for the past two weeks!



3 pkgs cream cheese $.99 each
OJ $2.35
2 bottles of BBQ sauce $1.99 each
3 bags of Werthers Candy $2.89 (my dad)
2 pkgs taco seasoning mix $.29 each
4 pk TP $2.19
2 boxes of tissues $1.19 each
large container of spring mix $3.49
organic grape tomatoes $2.49
blueberries $1.69
2 lbs sweet onions $1.69
cottage cheese $2.29
sour cream $.99
2 containers shredded parmesan cheese $1.99 each
green onions $.99
2 cucumbers $1.49 each
mayo $2.19
Baguette $1.49
Blue Tortilla Chips $1.89
2 jars organic salsa $1.69 each
radishes $.49
Multigrain chip $1.89
organic oranges $13.99
crackers $1.89
2 pkgs of shortbread cookies $1.09 each
big dipper chips $1.89
2 dozen eggs $1.59 each
Stair Tote $29.99

The stair tote thingy was on our list a few weeks ago but the store didn't have any ... so when I saw them, I grabbed one ... they are pretty awesome and I can't wait to go to the pool/grill area with it (yes, we got it for a bbq transport station so to speak).

A few things were purchased for the super bowl party we were going to (I was hoping to host it but that didn't work out) ... we made Snausages (from freezer) with the BBQ sauce purchased and the Cracked Up Onion Dip ... that game was a dud ...

The kids come in Friday for the weekend so I'm sure there will be a little more shopping tossed in the mix here but I won't have time to update so I'll share that on next week's review!

How's your grocery budget holding up this month so far??

Looking forward to sharing with some of these GREAT Parties ... go check them out!

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
