Sorry I've Been Absent For A While

Between being out of town and being "dawg-sick" for a week, I haven't posted in some time. I've tried to update my totals, but, the system keeps crashing when I attempt it. Here's my totals to date:

$115.93 Spent
$373.25 Coupons, etc.
77% Saved

Needless to say, with being out of town and being so sick last week, I haven't been able to keep up with my "3-a-day" rule. I doubt I've used 3 stockpile items in a week!

There is one thing good about being sick for a week. I lost 10 pounds in 4 days. I know, that's not the recommended way to lose weight, but, I could afford to lose it.

Spring is so crazy. Last Saturday was 70's, yesterday, it snowed. Tomorrow it will be in the 70's again. And I live in the south, for goodness sake!

I received my (4) $6 Purina checks several days ago. Just in time, too, because the food bucket for the outdoor cats was empty. Every now and then, my favorite store has Purina cat chow on special for about $2.50 less than usual. Now, I have some "extra" checks and I can snap up a few when they are on sale.

Some time back, I made a batch of stew. Remember when I was begging for a recipe? Well, I have some still in the freezer. I'm feeling like I could eat some of that today. I've been too sick to eat anything that heavy or seasoned. I still don't feel well enough to get in the kitchen and whip something up, so, this is just the ticket today.
