Here is last week’s Top’s haul. I needed one more bottle of Italian dressing for my large pasta salad that I took to the 4th of July party. It was $ 2.50. I was almost out of Bubba Burgers and they were on sale for $14.99. I only got one because I am going to a Grocery Outlet soon and they are much cheaper there. The Kraft singles were on sale B1G1F so they were $3.00 each. We only use them for grilled cheese. So one got frozen. The sour cream was on sale for $2.00. My total was $ 25.49.
Today I went and got a rotisserie chicken on sale for $6.99. It is in the crockpot on warm until we have it for dinner. I will serve green beans and salt potatoes that my neighbor gave me with it. All I have to do is warm them. Ignore the large bag of rice. I took it out of the closet when I was decluttering it. I still have to get it into a food grade bucket and put it away.
I purchased tomatoes for $ 2.47, seedless green grapes on sale for $4.50(we love them in chicken salad), and a carrot cake for $12.99 to celebrate our 58th anniversary tomorrow. That is all we needed this week. So I spent a total of $26.95.
The sales have not been remarkable lately so I don’t have much desire to get a bigger shop.
The decluttering is going well. I filled another garbage bag and a 1/2 of a bag with stuff as I continue along this journey. I now have 3 and 1/2 rooms done. I am hoping to have 5 bags worth by garbage day on Thursday. It is also our bulk pickup day so a large artificial plant is going since Eloise keeps knocking it over along with anything else I can find.
I did not tell you about this when I was talking about our goal money a few posts ago. Drill Baby Drill! That is what President Trump has been pushing. It is paying off for us because we own property and mineral rights in Texas. This is money we were not expecting. We did well during his first term but then it all dried up during Biden’s term. Now the spigot is open again so we should reach our goal a lot sooner than expected.
That is it for today. I am going to do some more decluttering until dinner and then I will chat with my baby sister for a while tonight.
What are you guys up to?

Hi Precious. We have never tried the bubba burgers. I will have to look and see if we have here. I do get some of the frozen ones from Kroger for cookouts sometimes.
Dan is getting cucumbers from his garden finally and little granddaughter ate the first cherry tomato last week. I bought extra groceries this week since we had the relatives for the July 4 weekend. I was happy I had bought the giant box of Honey Nut Cheerios and extra eggs awhile back. Dan made a pork loin on the smoker the first night they were there and I used leftover meat to make pork stir fry last night. The pork he cooks makes such good stir fry. We like it better than chicken or beef.
So glad to hear you are getting closer to your big money goal with the oil rights. Good for you.
Hi Chris,
They are just the best. Once we tried them, we never turned back. It’s a good thing that Dan planted cukes. They are constantly on the recall list for listeria. Just had another recall wthin the last week. I can taste that smoked meat. My neighbor smokes pork and beef and it is so good.
