Took my dad out to eat at a great Chinese take out place over the weekend. Needed to get him out of the house. He’s been recovering after a heart cath procedure that went sideways. Ended up in ICU a few days.-Tammy

My favorite trip of all time was going to Niagra Falls! We went about 7 years ago in the winter. And let me say it was the most spectacular view of the falls! While it is very crowded in the summer the winter had some good crowds also. We went on a hike on the icy paths near the falls and we took the elevator down 167ft to the bottom of the falls and in the winter you can see behind them! It was exhilarating to say the least. Would I go again ? Absolutely... with out a doubt! We also saw the bird sanctuary there which was amazing to see so many birds! And we went to Seneca Falls Casino while there. I would say this was the trip of a life time for me! I look forward to going again soon!

I am going to my sister's to pass out candy. she lives in a small neighborhood and we have a 9 foot PVC pipe rigged up to pass out the candy. Drop in one side and it slides down into their bag/bucket. She usually gets about 25 kids in the 2 hours of trick or treat. I am taking cider and a few snacks. She also gets a little company.
Happy Halloween.

Belatedly, Here's the June Giveaway Winner Announcement

I finally had time to go through all the Giveaway Entries(root out the invalid ones too)and pick a winner.
And the winner is the 43rd valid comment on your hit parade(wow! That's an old person reference. lol)........

Lisa B!

Lisa BJune 14, 2020 at 4:20 PM

I havent been shopping too much. Some pastas have been low but i have enough stockpiled. Not much selection in canned goods but I rarely use them. Thanks for the giveaway.

Congratulations Lisa B!

You have 48 hours from the time stamp when this post went live on the blog to email me your full mailing address to claim your prize.

After that I'll pick another winner from whomever is left on this list of 109 valid entries.

Thanks to all for reading and entering these little Sluggy Boring Box Giveaways.

There were 117 entries(and a couple who didn't want to enter but wanted to comment)out of which only 109 were valid, which leads me to say this...........

I implore you, if you enter and don't send me your email addy privately, have it linked from your Blogger profile(please check it to make sure it's there)or leave it in your  giveaway entry/comment(if I don't already have you on the master list of email addys for giveaways), GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDY!  

The following folks entered this go around but were invalid--Nancy x 2 comments(blogger profile is blank), D Fuller(again blogger profile is blank), Anonymous(with no link to anywhere!), Mrs. Shriver(again, blogger profile is blank).  I don't put this out there except to make these folks aware that they need to take action to have their entries counted, not to embarrass anyone.

If one of these folks have sent me contact info, it was not received yet and not put on the master list and for that I apologize, so send it to me again.  I just hate having to disqualify entries for no contact info. and it wastes both your time entering and my time having to weed through comments too.

Ok, I am off to get unpacked fully and get my usual life going again.

It's been two jam packed weeks and a LOT of driving(which made my knee very unhappy!) and I'll talk about some of it at a later time.

February Giveaway Winner

The mission this month was to guess how much Sluggy spent at Dollar General on all this.........

I went through all the entries and there were 6 of you who were in the ballpark and 3 of those were really close.  SMS was $1.52 off and the blogger at "Making Cents of It All" was .63¢ off.
But the reader who was closest was only .21¢ away from the actual total I paid of $44.65.
And that person was..............

Jen G.!
Jen guessed $44.44.

Kim N.August 21, 2019 at 10:39 AM

I love to win perhaps to motivate me back into using coupons. I used to be an avid couponer - now, not so much. I know it can save a lot $$$ - and now that I am retired, I certainly have more time . . . but for some reason, for the most part it has gotten away from me.

And the second name drawn was..........

Sue L.

AnonymousAugust 21, 2019 at 8:16 PM

I think this might help me to get into couponing. It is very intimidating to me, but when I see how much you and other people save, it is certainly worth the effort!!!

Now, one question, if I win, does it come with a tutorial from you, lol :)

My son said to me the other day "you know you are an adult when you want socks for your birthday" - I guess I'm and adult because although I will certainly EAT the candy, my eyes went directly to the toilet cleaner and toothpaste :) No big plans for this month - school is ending and my volunteer time is over for summer, LOVE to garden but really can't until I get my knee replacement...guess it will be getting stuff done around the house and working on Christmas gifts. I did get a good buy at Smart & Final today - a big pack of pork chops for 99 cents a pound - too bad they only had 1 left, and a HUGE seedless watermelon for $2.99.....if it were by the pound it probably would have been $30 :).
