Sick as a dog, no grocery shopping

Hard to believe I have not grocery shopped since the 24th.  Man, I was hit hard by the flu and sinus infection.

Hubby has piece mealed, with picking up bread and milk but I need to find his reciepts to update this tally.

Change of Plans

 But, we will still coupon, rebate, and survey.

However, now I am focusing on building a year / two stockpile of basic neccesities.  My husband wants to move over to a contractor (same job/same pay/less hours/less drive 2 hrs a day/less over time) closer to home.  We are still paying off the mortgage as quick as possible. I am thoroughly supporting his decision because we have both been through BRAC studies before --- I was actually a manpower technician for the Air Force.  He knows the signs of a base closing or going commerical contract.

So from here on in:  I will have a budget for stockpiling added to our grocery bill.

More to come

For those that use Prevacid, there was a rebate this weekend in Parade Magazine, also there was a $4 off coupon.  A careful shopper would buy using a coupon and then send in the reciept to get said OTC for almost free.   Just a thought
