7-11 will have free Slurpies on July 11th. (In honor of my granddaughters birthday...lol)

You both did better than me!!!

One of the small local stores had a sign up yesterday that said only 3 coupons for the same product can be used at one time. For example three boxes of X brand cereal using the same coupon at once. It also said they will not allow multiple orders either. I can't blame them(the store) as long as they are reasonable. It costs them time and money when a customer is "too extreme".

Yesterday we had our earliest red ripe tomatoes ever. We also harvested onions, about 30 more squash, asparagus, green beans and green peppers. So far one of our best gardens.

I put 12 quarts of squash in the freezer yesterday. We are being overrun with squash this year. I wish I could share with ya'll!

Due to it being a holiday weekend there were no coupons in today's paper. I had my little scissors all ready to go and no coupons!

The squash was delicious!!!

We had an early spring here this year and planted about 3 weeks earlier than normal.

For you northerners and westerners...hang in there...my garden will burn out early and you will be harvesting after my garden is dead!

Somehow DH got the garden going between hospital visits. We harvested 3 green peppers today. In a few days we will also have squash. We have been getting asparagus for several weeks. We are both waiting for the corn and maters though!

Keep those kiddies entertained this summer. Regal theaters have $1 movies. Check their website or your local theaters.

Tonight is turkey pot pie and salad with fresh lettuce. We might be eating the last of our fresh lettuce, since we may get a hard freeze tonight.

Two of my Princesses are still in the Barbie stage so I will be making them alot of clothes for their dolls.

I still need to work on ideas for everyone else.

I am so happy for you.

I just love it when I get a breakthrough.

Maybe I am losing it but I had a mini brainstorm yesterday.

I have been saving prescription bottles from Target. I have used all I can for hobbies etc and realized I needed to throw some out. As I reached for the garbage, I saw the little rubber band around the neck. You can get this band in any color you want. Mine are purple. It is removable and voila...I now have napkin rings for free...lol.

Maybe I'll change my color and get a "set of napkin rings" in another color!

Cool..Thanks Psalm23. I know where I'm going next online.

Wow..some of these are so pretty. I wish I could get motivated to start the quilt I've been "meanin' to get to" for years!

It's finally cool so I will cook some nice comfort food. Homemade chicken and dumplings and a salad.

I have been very fortunate lately. Three different people I know have over-producing gardens, and have let me harvest all I want. SInce DH was in the hospital most of the spring we couldn't put in much of a garden. I am so glad to get such a wide variety of wholesome food...for free.

In the past week I got about 30 pounds of tomatoes, 10 pounds of gorgeous red peppers, 20 pounds of apples, 5 pounds of onions, 2 pounds of garlic. 10 pounds of squash, 3 pounds of blueberries and 3 pounds of green beans. Yummy!

DH loves this for breakfast, usually with maple syrup over fried slices.

Great deal for you Cat!

How did you get mice when your name is Cat? Your name alone should strike fear in the little critters hearts.

I can't resist a good freebie...A friend of ours runs a little 7-11 type store. I stopped in yesterday to get a fountain drink(and use her wi-fi) and there were about 30 packages of snack cakes on the counter. She told me to take them because they were going to expire today and the vendor was going to throw them out. I am glad to see the vendor cared about selling fresh product and I was happy to take them off their hands. I put them in some big gallon size zip lock bags and hid them in the freezer. Next time DH gets a sweet craving I can get him one. The perfect size to cure his cravings.

Our gutter garden has been copied by all of our friends. We have mounted several of ours on our porch railing right outside the kitchen, so it is easy for me to get my salad cuttings.

Recycle parts of your microwave. If your microwave bites the dust and it has a turntable, you can make a lazy susan out of the glass dish and the little plastic thing under it. Or you can use the glass plate for a serving platter.

I saw a new one today.

We all know how hard it is to measure spices..right? lol

Now you don't have to. McCormick has a glossy cardboard card with a recipe printed on it. It also has little plastic pouches stuck to it which contain pre-measured spices for the recipe. I don't know how much it cost, but I'm sure you pay dearly to avoid the horrors of measuring.

I was in a grocery store last night to pick up some good for sale items. I noticed their brand of tuna marked down even though it wasn't advertised. I'm glad I caught it..39 cents a can is a great price lately. I got about 20 cans for the storage room.

A friend of ours got a new roof after the tornado came through here last spring. He offered my DH his old gutters if he wanted them. We picked them up the other day and DH installed them on the inside wall of our greenhouse a little above eye level. (He didn't want to tie up valuable normal height areas). These little "troughs" are perfect for cutting lettuce ar any other plants that don't have deep roots. You may want to plug the ends before you use them.
