Red velvet Oreos! I haven't seen them yet but I saw an ad.

So many pumpkin flavored items at the store where I get points. Tempting but they cost too much. The pie didn't look quite the same as the one I normally get. Unless it as cheap, I won't get it just for the points. I still get pie where I used to shop before I was getting points, or flavored water before that.

[KyleEl]

It sure was hard to clean up my turkey burgers. It's not enough to turn them off once they are done if I run out of water.

I found Club Crackers on sale. Didn't matter. They're not as good as I remember.

Mold on the newest loaf of bread. It's a good thing I didn't go to the beach but if the next loaf has the same problem next week, then I'm in the same situation. So far, I've eaten eight slices which are the equivalent of four slices that weren't affected.

[KyleEl]

Correction. Six slices of bread. So there are still two more with mold on them.

Four loaves of bread are left and, while it was on sale this week, maybe it's better to wait.

[KyleEl]

Last year at Wendy's I paid $7 for a chicken sandwich that wasn't very good. I was going to ask about getting compensation and then I saw there is another chicken sandwich which isn't as healthy for $2.

No mold so far but I haven't looked at all the loaves.

[KyleEl]

Homecoming where I went to church as a child.

Milk that got left in the refrigerator last week after being opened tasted awful but I am through with it now. It also had ice at the end.

[KyleEl]

Four loaves left, two of them not the kind I want. But it was on sale and they didn't have the kind I wanted. The next time I went to a store where I get points not on sale.

A little mold on the last slice from the last loaf I hadn't finished with.

[KyleEl]

No problems with today's turkey burgers.

I have several boxes of Ritz I got on sale.

[KyleEl]

Mold on the last few slices in one loaf. Three more left plus I got two more yesterday but they not only weren't my usual bread, but small slices.

Finally, Premium square whole grain crackers on sale. But they're not at my usual store.

[KyleEl]

Last slice had to be thrown out. I haven't seen another loaf so it's four that are left and none of them are my usual brand.

No problems with turkey burgers except I almost burned the pot.

[KyleEl]

I found a loaf of the kind of bread I like at home. This would be good news except I don't see but one loaf of the kind I didn't want. That could only mean I somehow picked up the wrong one and paid full price for it.

I did succeed in buying two bottles of lotion on sale with a coupon for $4 and I've got another one and the sale should still be going on next week. Technically the coupon has expired but it hasn't been all that long.

I found pumpkin pie at my former usual store but the crust is hard to cut and it didn't taste all that good. Maybe after a few days it'll taste like it's supposed to.

I forgot to look at the store brand Hi-Hos to see if they were in fact wheat. So now I have two more boxes of the wrong kind.

[KyleEl]

Pumpkin pie hasn't tasted better yet. I also haven't been eating it as fast as planned.

I did choose Oreos over pumpkin spice snacks. I won't have to choose between them soon since I have pumpkin spice Oreos.

Still haven't found the missing loaf of bread. I'm going to look to see if the kind I like is next to what I bought, but it'll take a while to get back there.

I have to remember mayonnaise! I used to do that with coupons but the store brand is cheaper. I need cabbage too because it's getting hard to get any more for slaw.

No problems with the turkey burgers.

[KyleEl]

I remembered mayonnaise (and it was on sale) and I decided to get slaw after I saw it sitting in the wrong place.

Good news about the bread that I like. Not only did I find it on sale (and because what's on sale on Thursday is still on sale on Tuesday) but there was mold on the last few slices in the loaf I had. This means it must be older than the small loaf I got on sale, but I still haven't found the other small loaf. I usually get two.

Four more boxes of Premiums. On sale where I get points and where I get a bag to put Xerox copies in.

[KyleEl]

I have even more store brand Hi-Hos than I thought. Anyway, I can eat them on the same nights as Premiums. I was going to eat store brand cheese crackers which are not whole grain ... actually, I can still do that.

Pumpkin pie has tasted good and I will miss it, but tonight is the last night. I'm just getting tired of having to wash extra dirty silverware and plates or bowls.

[KyleEl]

I found it! I knew if the one loaf of bread had mold, it had to be older. Flavored water is no longer on sale so I decided to buy just the flavor I like best for Saturday. But I couldn't find any of the ones I already bought and looked through every bag. So I now have one more loaf of bread that is not my usual style, plus four more of the type that are. The bread is on sale again but I would have six (eight if it's still on sale Tuesday) and those wouldn't last.

The last pumpkin pie tasted so good. No mellowcreme pumpkins but the bags are too large. I shouldn't have waited if I was going to get them anyway.

[KyleEl]

I found the flavored water I like best.

We didn't eat at the church I went to last week but they will next week.

No problems with my turkey burgers. I opened my new slaw but that wasn't any easier. Hopefully it won't spill since I didn't put the top back securely.

[KyleEl]

I found the store brand cheese crackers I've been looking for! I bought two boxes. I don't know whether they're actually better than the ones where I get points.

I bought one more loaf of the bread I like because that's all they had, but at least it was on sale. That means five loaves, and I have another week to go with the other bread which has less fiber so eventually ...

[KyleEl]

Hamburger buns were so wet I couldn't use them. I had to clean where I keep them. How do I keep water out of there? Why is there so much moisture in the refrigerator?

At least this meant I have only two loaves of that bread. I go back to the bread I like tonight.

I poured from three milk jugs Saturday. One was new when the other two were emptied. One was older and the milk tasted awful. The other was the one I was finishing anyway. The two empty jugs were recycled before they had a chance to smell bad.

[KyleEl]

It was a waste of money for me to go to the college I graduated from. I didn't focus on what I could only do there rather than postponing less important stuff, although that would have given me more to do today that didn't have time for. But if I use the logic I was going there anyway, I saved money by buying milk and cheese where both are cheaper.

Popeyes was way more expensive at the mall. I went to Cook Out as I usually do. Expensive, but I'm used to it. No more Jack in the Box because that's way more expensive.

[KyleEl]

Three loaves of bread. I took one out of each bag that still had two. There is one bag which had one because that's all the store had of that type.

Forgot to mention I dropped a lid for a cookie jar and had to wash it. The jar was empty and I filled the jar with the last of the Chocolate Oreos. Pumpkin spice are next.

[KyleEl]

I really needed to get to the bathroom so after I put my chicken strips in the oven, I put the package down. I found it several hours later and put it back in the freezer, but you're not really supposed to do that. I put the chicken in the oven today and ate some instead of turkey burgers and refrigerated the rest. I didn't have a clean fork to open the easy to open turkey burger package which is not easy to open at all.

[KyleEl]

My 20,000th post!

I have eaten all the chicken I left out and no ill effects. At least I don't think so.

I ate at the cafeteria but it was so expensive. Turkey was okay. The rest of the food was really good except the macaroni could have been better. I asked not to have the brown stuff on top and still got some. But the noise! Not only music blasting out of speakers all over the room, but TVs all over showing "The Price Is Right".

I have two loaves of bread left.

Yesterday we got together at my aunt's church. Since the cousin I visited last week emailed me I already calculated how many were there. One cousin was there who wasn't last year, and my aunt wasn't sick this year. The total number there was 28.

[KyleEl]

No problems with turkey burgers once I got them on the stove, but getting them there was a chore.

I had fish sticks yesterday, though chicken might have been all right even after a week.

Next week we eat at the church.

[KyleEl]

Two more loaves of bread on sale.

Another package of Oreos I discovered while moving stuff around so the new water heater could be installed. But I have three pumpkin spice packages and I haven't even bought my fruitcake.

[KyleEl]

Six loaves of bread total now.

I saw pumpkin spice cake on sale but I can't eat as much as there was in the package. Unless I eat it during the week too instead of making it something special for Saturdays.

Which reminds me. Next Friday I have to remember to do what I do on Saturday because my family will likely get together on Saturday.

[KyleEl]

No problems with turkey burgers.

However, something got into my square crackers. It could have happened when the box got opened in the store, but more than likely it happened after I got them home.

I've got to start eating Christmas cookies. So far I haven't found the bells and stars since the first time I saw them.

[KyleEl]

Seven loaves of bread. I hope they last.

I started eating pumpkin spice cakes and will eat Christmas cakes. I can't possibly eat them on the weekend because it will take too long and I have so many cookies that are special. And these are not special enough for the weekend even though they're more special than what I normally eat. I saw pumpkin spice cake slices on sale but didn't think I would be able to eat them all. If they're still there next week, maybe.

[KyleEl]

I found my fruitcake. I haven't counted how much bread is left but the oldest bread was in the bag with the fruitcake. And I saw someone has already enjoyed the fruitcake. Just a very small piece missing and I can eat the rest. It's in the refrigerator now.

I quit eating the pumpkin spice cakes so there will still be one or two more when I finish the Christmas cakes. I still haven't found stars and bells or the gingerbread cookies I usually get.

Turkey burgers were a mess to clean up but otherwise I got to them in time in the first pot.

No hot dogs Saturday because I was eating with the family. I think someone counted 26 people but I just listed all the people and I only counted 25.

[KyleEl]

I got pumpkin spice cake (deli, not brand name). How could I not? It was on sale for a really low price because, well, it won't last much longer. I chose not to get it last time I was in that store because I'll never be able to eat it. Well, I'll just wait until the New Year to eat fruitcake and Little Debbies.

[KyleEl]

I've been enjoying the pumpkin spice cake but everything else has to wait.

Everyone at church got a gift bag with little oranges which I have eaten, candy canes, and something else.

Turkey burgers did fine this morning.

Wrapping hot dogs was easier once I opened a new store brand Saran Wrap. It's easier to unroll the new roll.

[KyleEl]

Candy canes are not peppermint. They taste like chocolate which is even better. There was peppermint candy which reminded me of what my grandmother used to have. I think I have a cheaper solution for cough drops.

I unwrapped something that was too pretty to unwrap and wished I hadn't. It was just a pretty box. I'm hoping I can find another one and add it to my tree decorations.
