We ate 5 days from pantry and two with take out. First take out was due to medical appts and grocery store, second was we were worn out from dealing with stacking wood for 6 hrs.Still have another cord to stack and 4 cords to split. Plus E told hubby there are still 2 if not 3 logs in the woods that are for him. I need to move soup to Saturday as that is the day we move the most wood.
We saved $23.67 in cash back, $14.87 in coupons,$15 in discounts and $640.13 in sales. I bought a $799.00 vacuum for 99.00. Company did a model change and discounted the old model. My vacuum can't handle Charlotte's hair and I've been sweeping the rugs at the doors (we have wood floors) with the broom instead.I am not thrilled it is battery operated and only runs 30 minutes but takes 4 hrs to charge BUT a friend has it and she has the same type of dog hair to deal with and felt it was worth the $799. she paid last summer. So we will see how this works for us when it comes in. Daughter 2 said if it doesn't work for us, she will buy it from us as she has all wood floors and her dogs don't shed.
So 50/50 between mortgage and savings $346.83 to go on each this week. The penny left will go in penny jar.
We have to find a new dentist. Our closed the local office and their other office is an hour away. I told Hubby to go ask E's dad as he will know who it taking the Amish so we can go there also. Actually that's how we got the dentist that is now closing this office.
Propane tank is still at 40%.
Water heater kicked off again. Hubby called our repair guy after he kicked it back on. Repair guy said next time check what code it is showing AND when he comes down (we are 45 minutes from him) that he would also do the annual check of AC and furnace to save us that cost. PLUS look to see if we can get a bigger pressurized tank for well pump. He would like to see the solar pump as he might install one at his cabin.
How is your new year starting?
Prayers for peace
Blessed Be

That was a great buy on the vacuum. Maybe you could vacuum the dog before the hair gets on the floor. NY is coming along fine. All the rain we did not get for almost three month seems to be falling now.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great deal on a vacuum.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a Dyson stick vac you will love it for your hard floors. We can do about 1200 sq ft on a charge. It cleans so much better than sweeping because it pulls the dirt out of the seems in hardwood floors. I remember being amazed at how clean our floors were after the first use Ours is ten years old and we would buy another if this one died.
ReplyDeleteNobody works harder than you and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteOur new year is still pretty awful... LOL. (Since you asked). We are also doing a 100% eating from food storage plan right now and my last trip to the grocery store was in November! So far so good though. :)

ReplyDeleteRe; milk... I keep 2-3 containers of Parmalat brand milk on hand (shelf stable for a year, and comes in whole milk, 2% and nut milks). Also I freeze milk! I buy the large containers of whole milk from Sam's/Costco and freeze in smaller portions in mason jars or food sealed bags. Freezes perfectly in the fridge. Shake and use. Same as fresh! :)
