HOW I SPEND LESS MONEY ON FOOD

Helloooooooo Boogerbutts. Is it nice there? Sunny cool morning here with all windows open. I'm lovin' it. 

In other news, I'm swinging my feet at the kitchen table as Italian-herbed tomato sauce cooks in the 3qt Mini Instant Pot and the last of the laundry swooshes down the hall. After this, I'm headed out to mow.

Delightful. 

In other news, we're closing in on 11 soon-to-be 12 weeks of spending $300/28 days on groceries and I'm THRILLED. We have a budget of $400/28 days and so far haven't needed the extra 100. Smoochie Face no longer eats out for work lunches unless he has to, today he has to and that's okay. It's the overall spending less money on food, that we're after. 

It's not about perfection. 

It's about spending better AND having fun with it. 

In other, other news, a girlfriend pointed out that at $300/28 days we spend $10.71 for two people to eat, which is a little over 5 smackers for each person, per day.

Not too shabby.

We also turned the bottom shelf of the fridge into the what needs eaten next, shelf. When we ask what's for dinner, the answer often is, "Whatever's on the bottom shelf."

Love that!

And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print. I skipped Wordless Wednesday this week as I've enjoyed life unplugged. Be around soon to catch up on your adventures. Until then, Happy Friday and boogie boogie!

KITCHEN TABLE CLUTTER on a WORDY (non-wordless) WEDNESDAY #24

Kitchen tables. Desks. Dresser tops, counters and bench tops. Fertile grounds for clutter. Almost a magnet, if you will. But now that all my hobby stations are in place and being used, tidy and cleared top surfaces are a happy thing. 

Hot dog. 

In other news, I failed my no spend on hobbies for the rest of March. I didn't buy fabric, that I did good with. However, I did buy a new ruler. The Folded Corner Clipper and I LUUUUUUVVVVVES this tool. 

There's a larger one, I went with the little corner clipper because I wanted a smaller tool that works well with my home-cut jelly rolls and itty bitty squares and triangles. 

What a time saver.

What a treat. 

And in other, other news .....

HELLOOOOOOOOO NEW SEASON (+ new banner day)

Welcome to a brand new season and while I know many didn't like winter, I gotta be honest, I loved it. Lots of good changes took place and I'm excited for the adventures to continue. 

A fresh new season. 

Pretty cool.

In other news, all my newer hobbies now have permanent homes and/or their own stations. There's still a few bits and bobs to donate and I never finished the tool closet (soon). And with that said, the Great Re-Declutter of 2026 is just about done and dusted.
