left early (10ish) didn't get home until after 330
lawyer, PO, gas, Wally-like store--(but more $), bank appointment, Dad's...
the store had me covering alot of territory...they moved alot of stuff around because of the holidays, so I probably made 4 extra trips throughout the store to find and get the items I wanted.
I got a box of Satsumas. Having grown up in CA, I am a hard headed about my citrus. I want Satsumas, not 'cuties' or 'clementines'!!
California grown Satsumas... well, the store was down to 2 boxes... lots of others are particular about their citrus. I refused to buy the cuties.
I was searching for one of those neck wraps with the little seeds that you microwave. I found pink and green ones, but those weren't on special...only the muslim colored ones which I couldn' find and I had two different clerks helping me search for them...found them in the other end of the store with some sale stuff.
I got the last one for $8. I'm trying it now. It's a bit heavy and doesn't hold the heat as long as a therma-care, but therma-care patches are pricey.
I got 10 pounds of all purpose flour for $2.78, store brand, but it will be fine for banana bread, irish soda bread. I also happened to find 5 pound bags of Red Mill whole grain wheat bread flour, 2 for $4, so I got 10 pounds.
It is good wheat bread flour. I use 1 part wheat, 1 part unbleached white and a couple tablespoons of gluten flour in my Honey Wheat recipe and I get a real nice-just right- wheat bread. Flour went in the freezer.
I got some Energizer Lithium batts AA for my little camera. They really do work alot longer in cameras--alot. I had a $2 a package off coupon and the store had an instore coupon for 20%...so I got 2 four packs.
Store brand butter, 2 pounds for $3, so I got 2 pounds salted, 2 pounds unsalted and tossed them in the freezer. Butter freezes so well and I stock up over the holidays and always have a stash all year long. butter works much better in baking.
I got two white (no saint decals) novena candles. clear glass with white wax puts out the most light -- great items to have on hand. they aren't making them as big as they used to just a few years ago, the diameter of the glass container is smaller and it is only filled to about the 65% - 70% level, but you'll still get a good 60 hours out of them if you burn them about 6-8 hours at a time.
I had an instore coupon for store brand salad dressing, $1 a piece for 16 ounces, so I got four.
got some glue dots to use with a picture book I'm making for my granddaughter for Christmas.
spent $52. I looked at the weatherstripping shrink wrap stuff, but they wanted 10.79 for enough to do one window 48x 64 window. I'll have t check home depot or lowes. they will probably have a better selection.
I had a store rewards coupon for 10 cent gas, so I filled up at 2.59--a good price for around here
tomorrow I have to do paperwork, clean off my desk, and prepack a few zip locks with dry bread ingredients so I just have to pull the bag out of the freezer the night before, then in the morning add the wet ingredients and make bread.
Sounds like you had a pretty good day. I hope you like that salad dressing though.
