The "Great Weather Ahead" Edition--
Well yesterday, Easter Sunday, we hit 83*F here.
What???
The flowering tree has started blooming. I still can't figure out what variety of tree it is.
We aren't suppose to leave the 60's this week. It's about time! ;-)

My savings percentages last week was 100%. 8-)))
Leftovers going into this week....... Fajita filling for 2 tortillas, Beef Pie(enough for 2 helpings), Macaroni Salad, Roast Chicken slices, Chicken/Broccoli Cheese Casserole.

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

redbud tree...actually a pinkish putple
ReplyDeleteNope. the blooms are white but too small to be the usual suspects of crabapple, dogwood or Bradford pear.
DeleteI thought I saw pink.
DeleteSo glad spring is finally there. It has gotten warm enough here that we are going to crack the pool open this week.
ReplyDeleteSo far, since Sunday I have bought milk and bananas. My a2milk was $3.78 and went up to $4.92 in one week. I will pay whatever it costs! The new ads come out on Wednesday. Last Wednesday, there were only two things on sale I even wanted.
ReplyDeleteI am not buying meat on sale until I am at the end of what is in the freezer!
