SO DIG THIS ...

So dig this.. today I'm shooting my first Aldi vlog. Now ... I say that but once I get in there (leaving after this post), I don't know how busy Aldi will be or if I'll chicken out. Hope not because it's about how I make pizza sauce in the electric pressure cooker and lemme tell ya', it's dead easy, crazy good and fits my budget. 

All things I love. 

In other news, I'm also shopping for ingredients to make homemade make-up remover. I already sew my own reusable makeup remover pads, be fun to make homemade makeup remover to go with. 

In other, other news, the last photo is a BTS (behind the scenes), shot for an upcoming lemon post. Keeping them jarred in water extends the life so I thought, that'd make a good video too. 

All of these little ways to save money add up nicely. 

And with that, I'm off to answer comments (from my last post), and then hit Aldi for my first ever foodie-style vlog. Probably do a Big Lots one too if the store wide 25% sale is still going. 

I'll catch you beautiful Boogerbutts on the flipside.

    I could get behind home made pizza sauce, yum, but I don't make pizza often enough for it to be worth my time. I never wear makeup, so I have no need of remover, but I hope that goes well for you.

    Dear Ivy, I bought an electric pressure cooker months ago and still haven't used it.
    I look forward to hearing what you make with it.
    I absolutely love ❤️ your sketches, dear friend.

    Thank you for the tip about the lemons losing longer in water. I do not know what a vlog is - I guessing video and you will film and speak in Aldis as you shop?? Good luck..

    Enjoy vlogging shopping! Vlopping?
    I look forward to the results!
    And thanks for defining BTS. I'm thinking, "back to school?", "Korean boy band?"...

    I'm just loving those raspberries on your header. I just want to munch my way through the whole bowl. 😁
    Hope the Aldi vlog session went well. I'm looking forward to hearing how you make that sauce.
    Thanks for the lemons tip. Take care and have fun.

    Aldi is a great place to shop but also right next to our Walmart and 90% of the time I need stuff that I can't get at Aldi's so I just shop one place.
    Bleh me.

    I can't wait to see this!

    My grandson and his SO love Aldi and I hear about all the amazing things there. Nothing very close to me but I'll keep looking when I'm in Tulsa or Joplin.

    I like Aldi but there isn't one close to me. ): So I have been shopping at Trader Joe's. Just something to break up the boredom of HEB.

    I wish you well with your vlog. I've always loved Big Lots. My sister first introduced me to Big Lots many years ago, and ever since, I was hooked. Lots of neat stuff.
