Good Monday a.m.!

My day will be laundry & errands at Wal-mart, Aldi's, Menards & the bank.  DH has today off & has volunteered to go with me to "help"...which will take twice as long;-)


Except for a couple of items, my Christmas shopping is finished!  The house still isn't decorated, but I'm not going to go over-board & will do that after DH goes back to work.


Hope you're all having a super day!   Hugs, Cal

I am doing laundry too Cal! Also trying to finish up Christmas cards--we fly east next Monday so this will be a busy week. Have fun decorating!
Hugs,

Cal,


Hoping that shopping trip went well with your husband and that you didn't feel the need to pull your hair out. My DH would not dare enter

I just found out from friends that Aldi's was bought by Trader Joe's. The last time i was there (years ago) it was pretty crummy but these friends say it's really improved and prices are great. AS soon as this snow stops, I'm gonna check it out.

a commercial...more like an excited shopper..like me..LOL..im always excited when i find good things that are cheap.and yes i did notice their pcies are rising.but thats a given,no matter where you go. there are some stuff i wont buy there,too. have you tried their frozen pork chops. their really good. and i also purchase their pkgs of chili fixings...for 33 cents compared to the grocery chains 1 40..thats a big difference..i also purchase their fresh produce,especially their mushrooms,their always cheaper. hummmmmm i mite have to take a trip there tomorrow. yes try those strudels...you wont be sorry. min
