04April26: mornings are busy…

Andy’s making demands.
Cheeky cat!!
Open doors in preparation for morning bird song.
American robins might be in song, but I sure as heck am not!
This is his choice for breakfast, but he still has his ears tuned in for that absent bitdsong….
Finally, I get to fix and eat my breakfast- with kitty boy drooling and watching me take each bite.
He stays till I’m thtough.

I tried call-in grocery shopping this week. The total was about $176. I was expecting the bill to be between $250-300!

How could I be so far off? Happily?

Well, I skipped the candy aisle, the cookies and crackers aisle, and the frozen treats aisle!

It wasn’t planned that way, yet it gave me a start to realize where I spend money at the grocery store.

Also, I skipped the salty snacks and pop aisle, though I always limit myself on the former, just buy the small cans of pop since I waste most of the larger sized ones. I tend to go for mineral water, an extravagance, I know, but one gets the bubbles without the unneeded calories.

Next week, the shopping list will  probably include tea, coffee beans, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (I can’t resist) a lemon cookie from Canada (“Soarry,” but they are really lemony and good!), and maybe those frozen lime fruit bars. Ritz crackers. Yeah!

  1. Love seeing Andy so interested in his sunny spot to sit and observe his birdie friends… and Doug, your shopping list gave me ideas to add to mine!!

    • Skip the treats! I also buy more store brands once, compare them with the branded ones, and usually find my stores brands are OK, even better.

      Doug
