Nifty Thrifty

I did a day of running errands today...grocery, etc.

It's a beautiful day ~ 65 degrees and not a cloud

in the sky! I realized something as I was driving

home with a van load of groceries.

If someone had told me three months ago that

I would have a little group of blog buddies

that would give me wonderful little

recipes, tips and ideas that I would use

when making up my grocery list, I

probably wouldn't have believed it.

But, I am doing the grocerygame.com

partly because Modgirl said that she

does it and really likes it.

I got the ingredients to make Willow's

Mexican Casserole after Lavinia Ladyslipper

raved about making it twice already. And

I looked for Willow's skin cream at Kroger

and found that it was on special at "buy one

get one free"! I also, at Willow's advise, got

the ingredients to make Blog Princess'

Thai Chicken Satay ~ looks really yummy!

And from Rachel I got the idea to print

off the online coupons at $2.00 each

for cereal and found that it was on special

at the grocery for $1.98! So, in case math

is hard for you, like it is me ~ I'll go ahead and

tell you that the grocery actually paid me 4 cents

to take 2 boxes home!

So now I'm off to slather cream on my feet

and marinate the chicken. (After washing

my hands, of course!)

Nifty thrifty and oh so fun!

Thanks blog buddies!
