Got the turkey burgers in time, both in the big pot and the frying pan.

[KyleEl]

Two more loaves of bread.

I'm not finding Cheez-Its on sale but if I eat store brand Wheat Thins instead they'll last longer. And now that I'm used to doing this there won't be ... consequences.

I got the Progresso coupon. I hate these envelopes where you tear the sides.

[KyleEl]

I emptied both containers of crackers but only washed one. I filled the other one with crackers. I still had some nuts in one of the containers. I also finished some cookies. The container smelled so good.

Fish sticks I forgot about tasted stale even though I just opened the box. The next week they tasted okay.

[KyleEl]

I have only one name brand package of regular cookies left. Four store brand packages after that. And for weekends, two packages of Oreos. And a package of oatmeal cookies, which I used to have on weekends, but now just Sunday, when I open it. I just hope you-know-who doesn't get to any of them.

Two more loaves of bread (but not the type I like best). Mold was on one of the last slices in one loaf I am almost finished with but not the others.

Fish sticks taste stale.

I washed the other container of crackers and refilled it. I did find Cheez-Its on sale and even though I have all the points I need, maybe it'll be on sale Monday too.

No chicken salad! The next time I go to the town where this restaurant is, I'm going back to the hospital. Since I meet with my cousin in two weeks, it can't be Thursday so that keeps me from having chicken salad anyway. However, I have to ge there early and that's what the waitress said yesterday. At least I know they'll have it if I get to the hospital early.

[KyleEl]

Two weeks in a row with no problems with turkey burgers.

I filled a cookie jar with oatmeal cookies and opened the Christmas trees. The uneaten ones went in the refrigerator. What I do with chocolate chip cookies when the trees run out I don't know, but that happens Monday.

I got a coupon for Healthy Choice soup.

[KyleEl]

Spaghetti and meatballs is good but so hard to eat. Not that hard to clean up.

[KyleEl]

I opened a loaf of the type bread that isn't the type I like best. Then, when I had a hard time finding an Andy Warhol can of soup, I found two more of the type I like. Also, I found that type on sale but not where I get points.

Last weekend I ate all three eggs. They're so good but they don't last.

[KyleEl]

I found two more loaves of bread of the type I like. And one was starting to turn green.

We had a Souper Bowl yesterday at the church. I couldn't avoid dessert.

And I burned my turkey burger slightly in the first pot.

[KyleEl]

Chicken salad at the hospital isn't as good as at the restaurant that has it on Thursdays.

Almost through with the one loaf of bread that had mold, hoping for good news from the others.

I'm not waiting around for a coupon for Chex Mix. It was on sale.

I got $40 worth of stuff at a store where I don't get points. It was cheaper there, or the store where I get points didn't have it. Such as flavored water, which that store is now out of again everywhere. And I forgot something.

I used my Brach's coupon now that Jelly Bird Eggs are in stores. Opening it this weekend and starting with black and white.

My first time at the local Arby's in three years.

I opened the first store brand package of chocolate chip cookies. Not as good as the ones I get on sale, but they're never buy one get one free any more, even if that was as cheap as they were.

[KyleEl]

I forgot about two remaining slices of bread in one package and they were no longer usable. I had an odd number of hamburger buns for some reason so I used two slices of bread.

I opened my Jelly Bird Eggs and there were plenty of black ones which I finished. And only a few green ones. I'll do one or two colors each Saturday night until I finish.

I moved everything out from where I heard a mouse two days in a row. I found a box of Wheat Thins. I thought I got rid of the last ones a long time ago. I can't compare the taste to the store brand because these are stale. But no ill effects as far as I know. At the rate I'm going I'll finish tonight.

[KyleEl]

Okay, it took another day, and maybe two, to finish the Wheat Thins.

More importantly, I found seltzer water at the store where I get points, on sale, even if it was more than flavored water. And why is it more? Because it has no taste. Or tastes terrible. I'm not buying it again.

I bought too much stuff and now have to buy enough for 200 points. At least I'll have more cookies. But the good cookies are only on sale at a good price where I don't get points. I'll have to buy more store brand cookies, if they're on sale, but the store brand where I don't get points are not as good.

I parked at Cook Out and intended to walk from there to where I went to college. But there were numerous signs saying don't park there after one of the businesses closed. it's not enough I paid so much for a sandwich I used to get for a little over half that price. And I saw such a good looking sandwich in an ad for a place I passed going to Lowe's. But I missed the turn. I can go to another location where the other sandwich is, and not go to where Lowe's was, though it might cost a lot. And then I can return to parking where there's no sign saying don't park there. On campus, parking for visitors at one deck is $5 for the first hour and $2 for each additional hour. I didn't see what it was at a deck close to the library, but I need my exercise. I'll miss the trail going to Cook Out, but they cut down most of the trees for a sewer line, and more when they built light rail.

I melted the ice that was holding the last box of fish sticks in place by opening the freezer door a little. I bought two more boxes on sale--where I don't get points.

[KyleEl]

Burned the turkey burgers slightly, but what a mess.

All older bread that is the kind I like is now gone, four newer loaves left. One loaf left of the other kind.

Chex Mix were not reclosable, so dumped in with cheese crackers.

See the Gas Price thread.

[KyleEl]

I stopped the turkey burgers in time.

Chex Mix almost finished but I have a second bag.

Bible School cookies during the week instead of chocolate chip. At least that's what I call them. Whatever the style was they used to give us at church.

[KyleEl]

The bread I like was on sale but I have four loaves, plus two slices of the bread I don't like as much.

Instead of the hospital this week I went to a restaurant but the sandwich was more expensive and they burned the ham on the edges. No reason not to go to the hospital. Different hospital than the one with chicken salad.

I spilled a can of soup that I had filled with water to make it easier to clean.

I finished the seltzer water several days ago and the store where I get points has flavored water again. Maybe because I asked.

[KyleEl]

Burned my turkey burgers but it only made the pan difficult to clean. Did not affect the taste.

Not sure whether I have four or five loaves of bread. One hot dog bun had some mold and there are two left. I hope they make it to Saturday.

Brach's wants information about the package but I didn't keep it. I have only red jelly beans left. I poured out the rest of the Chex mix and ate that which was not Chex. Next week I'll start on the Chex.

[KyleEl]

I got a chicken salad sandwich. Last time I was at the restaurant on a Thursday I was told they ran out, so I got there early. I have to do the same when I go to the hospital on any other day of the week or the section of the cafeteria with most sandwiches will be closed. If I have to go to the library after eating, then I'll be going home from there. No reason to go to the grocery where I get points after the library. And if I don't eat late I won't be going home the way that goes past that interstate exit.

The grocery store that has cheaper milk and cheese also has store brand cheese crackers I haven't tried. Maybe next time. I need to finish my Chex first. I have two containers that are never empty but both need washing.

[KyleEl]

I don't remember whether I have mentioned it but numerous times in the past three hours some places where I have gotten lunch to go, or where I have gotten a meal to go when on vacation, salt and even pepper has been put in it. I collected all the salt, or so I thought. I found more salt which I will have to add to what I had in the bathroom I don't use. I haven't figured out what to put it in but an abrasive cleaner can be made with salt.

I'm almost through with Chex and I had room for more crackers in the container and washed the other one. I also emptied a cookie jar but will wash it later, since the small one just gets used on weekends. One more group of jelly beans.

Didn't burn the turkey burgers but came close and the pan was hard to clean. I didn't put enough water in the first pot where I put the turkey burger to begin with, so why even bother? By the time I got the turkey burger out of the freezer I had to refill.

One more hot dog bun had some mold but if I find the cheap hot dog buns I'll have fresh ones, like I had fresh hamburger buns this morning.

[KyleEl]

Didn't burn the turkey burgers, no problem cleaning up, but I had some extra cleaning after I saw where a mouse had been.

I pretty much finished the Chex and I did finish the jelly beans. Today I washed the cookie jar and the container with the Chex will be washed this week. Amazingly, the other cookie jar was empty last Friday because I didn't have time to fill it, so I washed it.

Four loaves of bread left of the type I like.

[KyleEl]

I had a chicken salad sandwich yesterday.

My nice clean cookie jar fell when I tried to put it away. The tall one is probably too tall for any shelf except the top one. But the small one might fit. And now it's clean again and I have three packages of Oreos, one of which is a store brand.

I washed the container I had Chex in. Now I get to fill it with a new store brand of cheese crackers.

[KyleEl]

Cookie jar filled with Toffee Oreos, which remind me of Royals candies. Other container has cheese crackers but not whole grain.

Turkey burgers did fine.

Three loaves of bread left.

[KyleEl]

I had to contact Jack in the Box because they put bacon on my sandwich and I didn't know the sandwich would have bacon. I was told I can ask for it without. Also I can ask for it without the orange stuff that got all over my hands and face. I couldn't find a "Contact us" link and I had the hardest time finding a way to join some rewards program which I thought would get me a way to contact them. after I did, somehow the "Contact us" link showed up. I think I didn't enter a proper password and i missed the part about a special character.

Two loaves of bread left plus a few slices, one of which had a little mold on it.

I did get another chicken salad sandwich earlier in the week.

Milk is cheaper and I had to buy a second gallon since I ran out before I got the first. No additional discount like I would have gotten at that store without paper bags (which had them last time I went there). Going there would have wasted gas, cancelling the savings.

[KyleEl]

Two loaves of bread left. I'm hopeful I didn't miss out the past two weeks, but there was some mold on the last several slices I ate from one loaf.

[KyleEl]

Bread was on sale. I have two new loaves and hopefully no mold on the old ones.

Chips Ahoy were on sale and I'm willing to settle for a higher price just to have them, although the store brand is quite good.

I had my chicken salad sandwich yesterday (one week I was too late and they were out, so I go early) but to buy something refrigerated at the store I have to go all the way back to that end of town.

[KyleEl]

I get to have chicken salad tomorrow if everything goes as planned. However, I lose my opportunity to get more on sale and get points.

I got to my turkey burgers just in time. Then I put plenty of water in the frying pan.

[KyleEl]

I did get my chicken salad.

No bread on sale. No nothing on sale, but I won't need that many points. I couldn't get crackers.

Furthermore I couldn't find my soap at another grocery store in the chain. I have to hope they have it at the store I normally go to.

[KyleEl]

Hot dogs didn't burn but smelled like they did.

Turkey burgers did fine.

Two loaves of bread left.

[KyleEl]

One loaf of bread left and it wasn't on sale. That means if it is on sale where I get points, that won't happen until next Thursday, and by then it'll be too late. I'll have to remember to get bread somewhere. Maybe at the store where I don't get points. Cookies were on sale.

Found my soap but it sure costs a lot. Haven't found pumps or a replacement if I need one.

I made a special request for whole grain crackers where I get points and they couldn't get them. They've been able to before. So at another store where I have actually found them, I was told they don't get them any more. The man brought out the Nabisco brand but the store brand is the best. I tried two other stores and they don't seem to have them either. What's going on? I have only a few left, even after just eating them on the weekend.

I have plenty of store brand Hi Hos (they don't taste like Ritz) but those aren't as good either. Even when I find Ritz on sale they aren't as good.

[KyleEl]

Having nearly run out of whole grain square crackers, I didn't even want any over the weekend. I'll just keep them around a while longer.

Still hoping to find bread I like.

Turkey burgers did fine.

[KyleEl]

Two more loaves of bread, and I found mold before I finally used the last of the bread I like.

Turkey burgers did fine but when I poured out the water from the pot, I put the pot back and the burner wasn't completely off, so it was a little hard to clean.

I found two more boxes of the crackers I like, so even though they'll probably be stale, that's two more months.

[KyleEl]

Two more loaves, and I have only a few slices left from the loaf I didn't like as much.

No other store brands of whole grain square crackers. I don't like Nabisco Premium that much.
