Little piggie is fine in her new home. It rained today, so no boyfriend yet...but we'll get there.
Today was stock up shopping day. I did what I could lol! Most things were such a steal it actually paid me to stock up now. With everyone fussing about the drop in FS benefits, they should be paying attention right now. I got cheese for $1.50 for the Kraft(which I usually don't buy) and bacon for less than $3 per pound. Also got DH sodas for $2.75 a 12 pk. If he was not narcoleptic he'd be quitting, but it does help supplement his meds and I have seen the man without them and it aint pretty! He dozes off way more without caffeinated drinks. So, I'll take the funny looks when buying 8 or more 12 pks on govt. bennies. They can just kiss my toe if they don't like it! So, those are gone for the month....and we have enough to scrape by on till the next round in 3 weeks. I sure do miss my garden!!! I am starting some lettuce inside tomorrow though, and we have peppers growing right now in the living room from last years starts. That'll help. I'm also going to pick a metric ton of greens sometime this next week to make up some difference in the food budget. Hope someone gets an unwanted deer soon too. The only thing we don't have enough of at the moment is meat, so we will be strictly rationing and these crazy carnivores are gonna have to do veggies a few times a week more than what we're used to. Makes me wonder too how the fish are biting right now.
BUT all said and done...we did pretty darn good to stretch the dollars. I used a ton of coupons and filled out 3 rebates, so we came out pretty much dirt cheap on most everything in comparison to normal prices.
We have to replace the car battery....it has been stalling out in the middle of the road on us..turns out to be the battery. Also turns out the battery is $100 so now we wait.
I'm looking for a better deal, so far I only found one for $88, but that's better than $100!!! I hate money being so tight, little things tend to be so much more aggravating. Glad we have the truck, but DD is complaining about fuel costs to get her to work since she has to pay up on that lol! Poor kid. Reality has a distinct bite to it sometimes.
I made stromboli for dinner. It has meat, but not as much as they usually eat. Shhh, I actually don't think they noticed
I sauteed a bunch of veggies for filler and it turned out pretty great actually
I am soooo beat though. Too much social stimuli today. Usually I like to be out, but I don't know if it's the weather or what, I just hate leaving the house lately.
I'm garden planning already
It keeps me sane when everything else is kinda wonky
Hope everyone had a great Saturday!!!
I'm so ready to get it going! It was pretty nice here today so hubs set the pepper plants we're overwintering out back to get some sunshine....and stupiddog dug them halfway out of the pots...he was not a happy camper. I fixed it though, it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't great either. She broke a lot of the new growth. 
I am pleased with my manipulation of the propensity for places to run sales and toss out crazy good coupons this time of year. The coupon expires at midnight, so I got it by the skin of me teeth!!! Now if I could just find a 25% off mortgage coupon I'd be set lol!
