I took all of the chicken that was left off of our first chicken and did the same with the whole second chicken. I made homemade chicken soup for dinner and it will probably last for 3-4 meals.
I forgot to tell you yesterday that on one of my Top’s shops this past week, they did not give me the 200 gas points I earned. So when I went on Thursday I went to customer service with my receipt and they gave me the additional $.20 off per gallon. That brought me up to $ .40 off per gallon and after shopping that day I was up to $ .50 a a gallon. So I will be getting gas soon. Watch your receipts closely. They make mistakes sometimes. $.20 off per gallon is valuable today.
One load of laundry was done using cold water and about 3 tbsp. of laundry detergent. I never follow the directions on the detergent bottle or box. A repairman told me years ago to use only 2-3 tbsp. He said you do not need more than that because the agitation does most of the cleaning. I hung that load to dry.
I cleaned a bedroom today. I didn’t get the windows done so that will be on my agenda tomorrow.
Breakfast this morning was bacon and eggs again. I ate the scrambled egg that was leftover the other day. Waste not, want not! I also sent an e-mail to Top’s customer service letting them know that the quality of their bacon is tasteless and it is like chewing rubber. Their bacon has always been delicious. I don’t know what has happened to it. I will not be buying it again.
I also contacted Walmart. I have never gotten my Florastor order. They kept saying it was delayed. I really needed it as quickly as they told me it would be here. I am only taking 1/2 a dose of what I should be taking trying to make it last. They told me it is lost(probably stolen). Well, why should I have to contact you? Shouldn’t you have let me know me know and refunded my money? They issued the refund for $ 53.77 which will take 10 days. UGH. Now I am back to square one and will have to see where else I can find it.
My arthritis has been bad especially when it rains and we have had a lot of that. I tried Advil, Tylenol, and aspirin and nothing worked. My son suggested I try Aleve. He has some medical background and said many people say they get relief from it. I did and it works. I am hoping it continues to work.
I used my credit card reward points to get $100. cashback in the form of a credit on my next credit card bill.
I hope you all had a good cost cutting day.

Hi Precious. We are still eating leftovers. We went out for some ice cream tonight after supper. I will send you a picture.
Hubby continued whacking on the bushes today. It was a quiet day after having the girls yesterday. We did the online check in last night for our upcoming Disney cruise. This is one reason we are frugal, so we can do some fun things. We will be going with Daughter’s family. Little granddaughter will turn 4 on the cruise.
Hi Chris
I will check it out.
I am so glad that you and your family are going on that cruise. You will all love it especially your granddaughter on her birthday.
I finally washed the insides of the BR and DR windows and inside and outside of the triple patio doors. The rest will have to be done in the AM when the sun isn’t blaring on them. I still need to climb out the windows and onto the roof to do the outsides. Other than that he spent all Sunday doing yard work and I spent it with house work.
Hi Patti,
I hope you have all your windows done now. I still have a few to do.
