This Week on the Dining Table

The "WTF?!" Edition.....

Will someone explain to me what the heck this billboard means?  "The Multiverse of Gordon".

Now Gordon McKernan is a local ambulance chaser lawyer.  He's got billboards everywhere and has tv commercials running non-stop.

I heard this commercial of his was even played during this year's Super Bowl........

I guess this Multiverse thing is related to the comic world?

I know this has nothing to do with meal plans but I feel so old that I don't "get this". ;-)

Last week Hubs picked up 2 items at Kroger, some items at Shopper's Value and we both hit Walmart on Wednesday and spent a total of $164.48.

There are 18 shopping days left in March.

I've earned $47.69 on Ibotta in March.

I've earned $1.96 on Checkout51 in March.
