As today is Thursday, that means "shopping day" at Walmart. I really hate shopping, especially when I get my total at the register. Now, it is even worse as I have very little money to spend as our family is on a super-tight budget. We are trying to hang on to our home and have recently filed bankruptcy, so as I said, money is tight!
So my goal is to see how little I can spend and that, my friends, is no easy task for me! I must confess that after 30 years of marriage, me (and my husband) are not very good with money. We've always managed to get by and have had a nice basic life. But we like to spend. Not on big things, but small things. Like pizza, or magazines, or fabric for sewing, or books (I am a bookaholic). So going to Walmart is scary as I find too many things I would like to buy. Not need, but want.
So, I need to avert my eyes from the magazines at the front and go right by the craft department! In fact, I think I should skip 3/4 of the store and go right to the food. I must steel myself before I even set foot in the store.
I don't need to buy meat as I am trying to shop from my freezer and pantry right now. So, for dinner, I'm thinking hot dogs (.99 each pkg) and some baked beans. I'm thinking of trying a recipe for Coogootz (an old Italian recipe I found) that combines canned pork and beans along with zucchini and tomato sauce. The hot dogs are my backup in case it's yucky!
So, it's time to go! I will post my finds at Walmart later today.
God Bless!
