Hubby and I had doctor’s appointments today. We try to schedule together when we go to the same doctor. That saves us gasoline and wear and tear on the car.
On the way home, we stopped at Niagara Produce to get a 5 lb. bag of potatoes for $ 2.79, two tomatoes @ $3.99 a lb. totaling $ 6.78 , and a 3 count package of Romaine hearts for $ 2.99. Total cost was $ 12.56.
This was all we needed in the way of produce. We have onions that should last a while, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, corn, green beans, etc. that are frozen. We have frozen diced onions as a back up to the fresh ones. I also have other canned vegetables.
I am finding that the fresh produce from N.P. lasts much longer than what I can buy in a grocery store. So it is worth the higher price.
We will watch the Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins tonight on TV. We never order out for football games so we decided there is always a first time. I am picking up a Domino’s pizza before the game tonight. That will be a real treat especially since I don’t have to make it. I will be paying cash out of my grocery money to pay for it.
My grocery money has really accumulated since I have not been doing much shopping over the past few months. That is a good thing so that when it is turkey season, I can purchase a few of them and some other items that are the cheapest at Thanksgiving like butter.
Any of you trying to eat down your freezers so that you can have room for the Thanksgiving and Christmas deals?

Yes, my husband had some higher medical bills come due this month so we are eating mainly from the pantry and freezer. This will allow us to pay these bills easier and eat up the older items in the freezer and pantry at the same time. A win/win! The bonus is I will be able to have room for the extras we try to get during the holiday sales. I try to purchase extra meats and butter to last us many months.
Hi smhuh,
I am glad you too are eating from the pantry and freezer. It is so nice to have it for an emergency which medical bills are. It is a win/win! I do the same as you. Butter and turkeys ans possibly a ham.
Hi Precious! I got groceries at Kroger yesterday. Mostly the usual kinds of things. I had a $10 off any bakery products from the Points Rewards Plus program and got some rolls and cookies for family dinner last night. All for free. I saved back some of my grocery money so we can go back this weekend and get some of the BOGO whole pork shoulders.
I finally got the electric bill so gas and electric was $196.40.
Hi Chris,
Nice bakery score. That utility bill was high. Yikes.
Bills did a great job tonite! So glad they beat Miami
Hi Patti,
Thanks. We so enjoyed the game.
