Worked Safeway this morning. I picked up my 'free' rotisserie chicken, free LaLa Smoothie. A bag of split peas, the only thing not on sale. Welches Fruit Snack, $5 off for 40 packets, which I'll bring to school Monday for my ELL kids that participated last week. Potatoes for split pea soup, Then got .40 cents off 'national brands' an employee incentive. All told, I got out for $9.84, savings of $14.13 Savings of 59%!

I've got spit pea going in the crockpot. Will use up the rest of the ham I got on sale the other day. Have stripped the chicken and put meat in fridge after having a bit with leftover mashed from last night.. The bones and wilted celery, carrots, and onion are simmering on the stove, will use as chicken stock, after straining. All in all, productive day so far.

Just got to wash greens, fruits, and veggies-put that off a day, got the fridge defrosted last night. I've never had a fridge that needed defrosting, I remember mom doing it with an old Philco.
@jimnyc I got a toy about a year ago, just getting around to really playing with it now. Been using it alot for soups and smoothies. It's just fun!
