Stocking Up

Yesterday was an excellent day for a trip to town. We went to Walmart to get a few supplies for my daughters birthday tomorrow. About the only thing they had was the paint .

We are re-doing her room for her birthday & wanted to look at the bedding & curtains. They had NOTHING we liked. Well, that isn't true. They did have a few things we liked but nothing that went 'together' to create a whole 'look'. And I couldn't find a dust ruffle in the entire store. So I gave up on that & was going to pick up the few groceries we needed for her party while we were there. They had nothing I needed. I was SO frustrated. After searching, and not finding anything we needed, we gave up & went to the grocery store.

That was our best idea of the day. They were having a 'case sale'. They had cases of all kinds of stuff on sale.

It wasn't technically in the budget but we didn't want to pass up all the savings. And by spending a little extra now, we can spend less later.

We got a case of spaghetti noodles in 3 lb packages, a case of brown sugar, a case of catsup ( we go thru a lot of catsup  ), a case of olives, 2 different types of canned tomatoes, a 20 lb bag of white sugar, 25 lbs of 13 bean mix, 40lbs of rice & I think that might be it. Sorry I don't have the receipt so I don't have the prices but, it was an average of 40 % of the regular price.

After we got home I spent about an hour making room in our pumphouse & rearranging the pantry but everything has a place .

Now we still need to order our wheat & as soon as potatoes are available I will get 50lbs of those & we will be set for a while.

I love a full pantry. It just makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside.

Blessings.
