I paid too much for a sandwich I didn't even like yesterday. Not sure why I keep doing that. Plus I couldn't make a U-turn when I saw I was on the wrong street. Then I had to turn right, not left, when I got to the end of the street. And I had to repeat that when I couldn't turn left on the main road.

No problems with turkey burgers today once I got them open but I had the hardest time even getting the box out of the freezer. I couldn't even get them back in the bag. And they had to be out of the freezer a while just to be separated.

[KyleEl]

No problems yet with bread but it's going to take a while. Meanwhile, I did get a response from the company that makes the bread I used to like. It wasn't the type of response that indicated a coupon was coming. So I responded hoping for a better response.

One package of cookies I bought didn't taste as good as I was hoping.

[KyleEl]

One more package of Oreos finished.

The cheese crackers I bought at Dollar Tree taste like another kind of cheese cracker I used to get but don't any more. There aren't many.

No problems with turkey burgers (except for opening them) but I didn't put water in them when I moved them to the frying pan.

[KyleEl]

I'm nearly out of hot dog and hamburger buns but I forgot to buy cabbage. The hamburger buns can be saved until after I buy cabbage ... oops, where am I going to put them? I will have to save the hot dog buns too. And what I will use for buns is the bread that isn't the kind I want, until I run out of that. I have either three or four loaves of the bread I want left.

Store brand Oreos get opened tonight. If I want something special on Saturday, it won't be stale, basic Oreo type cookies.

I was so glad to finish my milk yesterday. It has tasted bad all week. No consequences, but just not pleasant to drink.

I had a chicken salad sandwich yesterday but I didn't go to my usual restaurant. And where I walked the bridge was out and I had to make a long detour. Same will be true in two weeks as I will be walking at the hospital. It's a good thing that's the case because I didn't get two milks yesterday and I won't have a chance to next week at a place where milk is cheaper. I may be ready for a hot dog anyway. If I go to the beach when I plan to, it will take three weeks and then I will get to go back to the restaurant where I get chicken salad sandwiches. And that means I have to get two milks three weeks from now, and that will have to be early in the week because to get my gas gift card I have to go to the office on September 12.

[KyleEl]

I have four loaves of bread of the type I want. And more than one loaf left that is the brand but not the type I want. And two loaves of the kind that isn't the brand I want but is cheaper. I can use those for hot dog buns and hamburger buns and did over the weekend. No problems with turkey burgers today once I got them out of the box, but the ones I didn't eat today sure were hard to get out of the box, and the ice makes it hard to put the box back. I also need to find a new box and hopefully it will be on sale.

Considering I am going to the beach soon, this isn't good. I wonder if there's a way I could benefit from taking bread along?

The store brand Oreo cookies tasted good.

[KyleEl]

I got cabbage and have finally thrown out the slaw container.

I have to remember to go to the store on Tuesday where milk s cheap because I only have enough milk to last until then.

I don't actually have anything to say about bread. I said it all, and no problems yet.

[KyleEl]

I forgot that I needed to use hot dog buns on Saturday. But I couldn't clean where I put them anyway because I had to use hamburger buns today. The buns will all be gone this weekend if I remember.

Turkey burgers didn't get too done but pan was hard to clean because all the water was gone. It was hard to get them out of the box too.

[KyleEl]

Lots of cookies on sale. I know I'm trying to get rid of them, but if I miss out on trips to the store where I get points, I'd better go ahead.

I got two milks. That may have been a mistake since this particular store brand goes bad quickly. I didn't think I'd be going to the beach this soon. But I'll finish the first jug by Monday and have less need for milk on the way or when I get there. I have it figured out. Drink flavored water until I get to the grocery where a quart is about the same as a pint, buy a quart and save it for the last morning. And buy a quart each morning, and buy a quart the second afternoon and finish it the third. Oops, that won't work. I was planning to walk to the library on day two. Okay, finish the first day's quart the second day, then finish the third day's quart the last day.

Smaller paper bags at the store where I get points, but I've complained to those I need to and hopefully that won't be permanent. I need them to stay big for trash. Besides, not as much stuff can go in one when I buy. Although if more bags are needed, that's more bags for trash.

[KyleEl]

I thought I'd have to pay more for a chicken sandwich with a tomato. I actually paid less because I was given one for the same price as if it didn't have a tomato. Still not healthy since it wasn't grilled chicken, but that was over $7 without tax and I paid about $2.

Supper was different. Arby's had 3 for $5 but when I added lettuce and tomato, it ended up being over $10. Oh, well, that's still cheaper. I got a quart of milk and drank approximately half, and a half-gallon of chocolate since that's all they had. That kept me from having to cross the busy street when I ate breakfast. After all the walking I had just done, I could hardly move, so it was good that had already drunk it before I left for breakfast. I can drink half the chocolate milk tomorrow and the rest on Thursday.

I ordered one pancake at my usual place because that's about all I can eat. The man didn't know me (the woman who usually collects the money does) but he didn't charge me.

[KyleEl]

Two full loaves of the bread I like, but the mouse started on them and mold is there. Worse yet, a third loaf doesn't have anything left that can be eaten. And nearly two full loaves that are not the kind I like. Ironically, cookies stored next to them weren't touched. I don't think I'll get any help from the company because they keep insisting on information off the package I can't find. Also, while I could send them the package, no guarantee they'll pay for that.

I finished all that milk. I got a chicken salad sandwich too, and store brand Lance snacks.

I wasn't charged on my third visit to that restaurant. Don't know what was going on.

[KyleEl]

Oops. Forgot to post here.

I had a hot dog instead of a chicken salad sandwich (but I had chicken salad at a different place the next day) because I was about out of milk and couldn't wait another day to go to the place where milk was cheap. Well, was cheap. Not only was it up 40 cents (probably still cheaper than other places) but I looked at the screen to make sure I got the sale price on all items that were on sale. There were a lot of them, including Premium whole grain square crackers. They charged me 40 cents MORE! I got that taken off plus more because of the inconvenience.

I'm almost out of the bread that has mold on it. I was able to eat most of each slice once I took off the bad parts, and very few slices had to be completely thrown out. I still have a bunch of slices of the bread that isn't the kind I want. It's not getting moldy, though some slices the mouse didn't get to have mold too.

Sometime soon I have to get hot dog and hamburger buns to have something to put over chicken strips and turkey burgers. I have not done this with fish but I didn't have anything to put over my first box of Gorton's in years. Mrs. Paul's has a bag inside the box but Gorton's does not.

I finally ran out of store brand Oreos. Tomorrow, I open a new package of actual Oreos for Saturdays.

[KyleEl]

I finished the bread with mold. This morning I had three slices of bread that is not the kind I want left. I had one slice of bread with mold on it which could still be used and one that couldn't. And these were from an older loaf that the mouse didn't get to. I only lost one loaf and a few slices, plus part of several slices of bread, but in most cases there was enough left of each slice that it was enough.

I put what one loaf of bread came in over my chicken nuggets or strips.

I actually wasn't finished with the special Oreos that I was eating on Saturdays but now I am.

I spilled a glass of flavored water on the kitchen table.

I ate at a church I used to go yesterday because it was Homecoming.

[KyleEl]

Chick Fil-A had a sandwich I've been seeing in ads but it was more expensive than what I was willing to spend. I got a sandwich at the grocery store.

I have two loaves of the bread that I didn't want left, and about half of another loaf of another kind. No sale so far on the bread I want.

[KyleEl]

Almost finished with the store brand bread and it's a good thing because mold is starting to appear.

I had to open the freezer and get the ice to melt because the turkey burgers were stuck in place. The box tore so I just threw it away and wrapped the turkey burgers in the bag that either hot dog or hamburger buns came in.

I opened the Oreos.

I'm almost out of cheese. There hasn't been any on sale so there had better be later this week or I'll have to remember to get cheese where it is at least cheaper than where I get points. Also, it comes in 24 packs at one store I don't normally go to.

[KyleEl]

I bought a loaf of bread because I was almost out. The first of four that I will have to buy to make up for the one the mouse got to. That's based on the difference between the cost of store brand bread and the kind I want when it is buy one get one free. Cheese was on sale but not buy one get one free, but I'm even closer to out.

I got a pimento cheese sandwich at the hospital to make up for not having pimento cheese at Chick Fil-A.

[KyleEl]

I started on the last loaf of bread I already had. No mold!

It was hard to get the turkey burgers open today and it was hard to get to the chicken nuggets or whatever they were yesterday. Just one left in one package.

[KyleEl]

Two loaves of the bread I didn't want, halfway to saving the amount I need to in order to make up for what I lost with the loaf of the bread I did want. With the old loaf almost gone I can go back to buying hot dog and hamburger buns.

I forgot to get turkey burgers which were on sale. Cheese was not on sale last week but I forgot to look yesterday.

I started eating my candy canes even though they'll be gone long before Christmas.

No pumpkin pie where I've been getting it. No, I'm not buying a name brand and having to put it in the oven, where I can never get the timing precise. Either it's soup or burned.

[KyleEl]

No more bread from before I went to the beach!

Later this week I can get hot dog and hamburger buns. But do I really need to? Well, hot dog buns will be easier.

Forgot to put my turkey burgers in the pot which is about to be replaced tomorrow ... I hope. Didn't take that long for them to cook. I had planety to do while I waited, it turned out.

[KyleEl]

My bread was on sale. I can get two more loaves next week because the sale should still be going on. I don't think it makes a difference that I am going to a different town. I'm almost out of milk so I hope I can make it to Monday. But milk was more expensive at the store where I went yesterday and I wasn't confident a second milk would last when I bought milk last week. Also, it was all I could do to get them to give me one bag.

I have a new pot which is easier to clean when I warm soup.

I ate chicken salad yesterday.

[KyleEl]

New pot is also easier to clean when used for turkey burgers.

My lunch was free yesterday. I asked how much for just a salad and when I was told I have to get the buffet, the owner gave the signal that my lunch was on him.

I was out of milk so that's why I wasn't here yesterday. I didn't make it but substituted flavored water and now I'll drink more milk.

Homecoming at my church was yesterday but I didn't eat as much as I usually do and there was nothing I wanted to drink so I had milk at home. Is there some rule all church lunches have to have drinks with caffeine?

[KyleEl]

I found a pumpkin pie and I've been eating it but it sure is hard to cut and it's easy to drop it make a mess.

I've drunk more milk than usual to make up for what I didn't drink.

I'm out of cabbage so I got slaw this week. However, I took a while to get around to putting it in the refrigerator and I hope that didn't affect it.

Five loaves of the bread I like after they were still on sale, but because of the timing of my dental appointment it probably won't be next week. I'm nearly out of the first loaf I bought.

[KyleEl]

The cabbage has been used up as of today. It still looked like more was left even on Saturday. I'm going to buy a new container of slaw.

I opened lemon Oreos rather than have pumpkin pie over the weekend. I want something special on Saturday and that just didn't seem special.

[KyleEl]

I bought cabbage. Slaw went in the trash just in case.

I had a turkey burger at the hospital before my appointment. Only place nearby and I needed to pass the time.

The other hospital has chicken salad sandwiches.

[KyleEl]

I had the hardest time opening a new box of turkey burgers. But I just did it before I had to.

I dropped a hamburger bun on the floor while trying to remove it from the bag so I could use the bag for cabbage. I put it in with the last two slices of bread after washing it off. Then I used both for turkey burgers today. And put the bag over the new turkey burgers.

[KyleEl]

I keep finding cookies on sale. I also found Cheez-Its on sale AGAIN. This time it was buy 2 get 2 free, so I had to buy 4. Will I ever catch up?

No mellowcreme pumpkins on sale. I haven't been to the store where I found them, but by the time I go there they will be long gone. Another store in the same chain didn't have anything.

[KyleEl]

I burned my turkey burgers. I had to look through my newspapers to see if there was anything I wanted to keep. I used to do that on Saturdays. It took too long and there's no warning. Once I hear that noise, the pan will be hard to clean.

Pumpkin pie is all gone.

[KyleEl]

I started on my fruitcake.

I need to turn my oven higher when I put fish in. It was mush.

I found so many cookies on sale last week, but buy one get one free doesn't happen often.

I have two more loaves of bread, and the sale should still be going on next week. One is not the kind I really want but is the brand.

[KyleEl]

I put the turkey burger in the pot early and it was nearly done when I decided I had better call the newspaper since Sunday's paper hadn't come. So I turned it off and it didn't burn. It was cold by the time I ate it.

I finished my lemon Oreos but I think I ate too many. I should have eaten fewer so it would take three weeks.

I went to Homecoming at another church and I ate too much. Especially dessert. But I didn't even have pie or cake because entire slices are too much. And I missed out on spaghetti, but I was full when I went back.

[KyleEl]

I have two loaves of the kind of bread I like, two more which are the same brand but not the type, and part of another loaf still left.

I open my mint Oreos tomorrow. I hope I like them.

I did get to eat chicken salad yesterday.

[KyleEl]

Before it was all over, the mouse got to one sleeve of Premium crackers. I ate the rest and put out what it got to as bait. It took the bait but that didn't seem to cause it to go through the glue trap. But it may have eventually worked, as I said on the Vent Thread.
