I Made It!

 I am alive and finally up in PA, sequestered in the new digs.

My knee is giving me fits as it was abused the past week+ so I  am restricted in what I can do and acting more in a supervisory capacity.

I hope everyone is doing well and I'll be back online when I get set up here.

I’m back to enter again. 😂 Yesterday I filled up the Little Free Pantry at the church near our home with food that was given to us, but we can’t use. So, I’m glad someone else will be able to use it. 💕

Please send me your address Belinda so I can get this mailed out to you.4

Oh Where Oh Where Are You, Ann Georgia??

Still Waiting for the latest Giveaway Winner, Ann Georgia, to contact me.

If I don't hear from you by Tuesday I'm going to have to haul this box to PA in the moving truck, which means it could be awhile until it surfaces for mailing.

So come on and get in touch with me Ann Georgia!

Last week we spent $6.79 on groceries and the savings rate came in at 37.65%. Spending for the month is $95.60 and the savings rate is 46.87% for April before rebate monies are added in.

Rebates earned in April-

$90.06 on Ibotta

$1.00 on Checkout51

$0 on Aisle and Misc.

$91.06 total in $$

Total spent after rebates is $4.54 for April. I used some gift cards to pay so that is why my total is low. ;-)

10,160 Pts. on Fetch

2 Pts. on SwagBucks lol

176 Pts. on My Points

2,188 Pts. on ShopKick

0 Pts. on TaDa

(I don't count these until I cash out for a gift card or cash.)

Before AND after rebates we had a very low spend month for groceries at least for us.

Leftovers going into next week...Chicken Marsala.

Here is what was planned for this week.....

1. Sunday--Pizza

2. Monday--Leftover Chicken Marsala

3. Tuesday--?

4. Wednesday--?

5. Thursday--?

6. Friday--?

7. Saturday--?

We used up what was in the freezer the best we could.  We are now in "take out" mode as this move goes forward.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

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.

Next week I may not be in a position to post a meal plan Monday or anything on the internet as we may not be hooked up yet in PA. ;-)

What a fascinating assortment; and mmm, chocolate. I've just been communicating with granddaughter # 3 about what she may need as she heads off to college this fall. I hope PA will be as wonderful as you remember it.

Congratulation Ann Georgia!

Please email me at slugmama@yahoo.com with your full name and mailing address asap so I can get your box out to you.

If you don't respond by midday Tuesday there will be a delay mailing this as my printer will be disconnected and packed up and I won't have access to it again until we get set up in PA so hurry please. ;-)

Thanks too everyone who entered and I am hoping I can continue to hold these little giveaways once we get settled back in PA.
