Why are most Qs for non-healthy foods? Fried chicken, cookies, muffins, pies, snack foods. I need to start trying to eat better (TM4D, I made the taco chicken with six chicken breasts that I found in the freezer last night in the crockpot and separated it out into 3 containers to freeze), but it doesn't help me to know I've got coupons for items that are dirt cheap, free, or pay me for them when I shouldn't bring them in the house. I could be a vegetarian, but the muffins and brownies and cake really wouldn't be good for me either. The cat doesn't eat any of these and she's the only other living soul in the house.

Except when my Dad lived with me when he broke his leg, I've never cooked supper every night (throwing a frozen dinner in the microwave is not cooking) like most of you moms do. Usually when I make something, part of it has to go in the freezer, or I get sick of it eating it every night for dinner. I've bought bagged salad twice now, and it rotted before I ate it. I bought cauliflower and forgot it was in the frig and it went to liquid Sick I wondered what the funky smell was in the frig. I found a block of cheddar yesterday, but it expired in 2005. I bought some oranges and tangelos for a school support thing, but I think the tangelos are history, as I left them in the garage and I think they froze instead of bringing them into the house.

My SIL keeps saying I need an organizer like on the show Neat (fit.tv) Love to have one of those, but I hate throwing stuff away that I paid $$ for. I'm single and have two refrigerators AND a 13 cubic foot freezer that are all stuffed to the gills (maybe wouldn't be if I cleaned out all the expired stuff though).

Where do you find tortilla chips like restaurants serve that aren't salted (Ones I've bought in the snack aisle don't work and are W A Y too salty)? My favorite mexican food is chicken nachos, so I wanted to make some with the taco chicken I made. I baked some low carb flour tortillas last time and they were OK, but not what would compare to the mexican place (and I don't want to buy a fryer just for nachos).

Facepalm Ugh, have Kohls cash to get out and spend too. I know the redemption period started yesterday, anyone know when it ends? Otherwise I'll look at my cert. next time I get up....don't feel like getting up at the moment.

3 doses at that....I can barely take NyQuil or DayQuil for that matter without feeling drugged. This is like feeling mega-drugged. I am perfectly content on the couch for the rest of the day.

Quote from kallison423 :
I actually braved WM last night to try and find those gift sets- none anywhere. Was also hoping to get some of the Glade candles, since someone reported them being $1.17, but all scents were $2.33 here Frown
You must live in a town with my shelf-clearer's relative or something.....OK, gotta tell this story....

So, my mom and aunt and I always go out the day after Christmas more for tradition's sake than anything. We decided to go to Walmart before Target this year and who is there but the local shelf-clearer (not surprising since she doesn't really shop @ T., mostly WM and Wags) and I'm thinking oh, this is gonna be good. So anyway, I see her and her kid bolting for the holiday Ziploc bags....they're on the top shelf and she can't reach them so she has him standing of the baby seat part of the cart to reach them and shove them into her cart. The swipe all 30-40 boxes of those and move on....

So then I am walking through the reg. section of Walmart over by HBA when I overhear her and her posse (yeah it was like a whole family of them!!) asking the associates where the gift sets are and they are in the process of checking when I hear over the radio that they are down by the entrance, which is about where I am up to at this point Evil So I hustle down to where they are because I know she will be practically running to them. I get there first and calmly pick up a couple of sets and am just browsing looking at them (with my cart and myself parked strategically in front of all the ones I know she's after and here she comes......and starts shoving all of the gift sets into her cart, knocking into me and my cart with complete disregard for me or my stuff.

Mind you there is absolutely nobody else standing there but me and her (and her posse of people, whoever they were.) And she says jokingly, "oh sorry, didn't mean to bump into you!" Pffffttttt....like hello lady if you're exhibiting this type of behavior you MIGHT just end up knocking into people and causing trouble. Crazy

So I'm still just standing there looking at them when, in her frenzy to swipe all of these into her shopping cart, she knocks one off and it lands on my head Annoyed And I hear, "ooops, I'm sorry, didn't mean to do that...." bulb Weeelllllll then how about you stop shoving them into your cart like a MADWOMAN?!!!

I swear some people are nuts. It's not like there were a bunch of people just swarming these....nobody even knew that they were up there. Her and her family or whoever they were had 5+ carts full of Gillette, Axe, Old Spice, etc. gift sets OMG OMG OMG

So, did anyone else have an exciting shopping experience yesterday morning?? Teehee

Meanies...I am playing on my new google computer. I am trying out some extensions. I have no idea what I am doing, but I am going to test it out here if that's OK with everyone. I will await responses. If OK, just ignore what I do.

Those little responses in your head to the crack head shelf clearer should have been spoken out loud directly to her! I know I would not have been able to bite my tongue. Some people never received any proper home training and I am not afraid to remind them of their asshattery!

IMO silence is consent...It's not like you're married to her or see them every day in the work place...you should have let her have it!

Fry them and you don't need a fryer. I do it in a small skillet. I put an inch or so of oil in the pan, lay the pieces in and by about the time I have laid the last one in they are ready to flip.

I stopped at KMart. Nothing too exciting. Most stuff is half price. That makes the Glade Christmas scents $1.50 for everything -- spray, jar candle, tin candle, oil refill. So no good coupon deals there.

They had an Axe gift set for $4 - $3 coupon and the Fusion Razor set for $5 - $4 coupon. (I think it's the same one as WM - razor, face wash, deodorant, shave gel). There was also an Old Spice set (cologne and deodorant) for $2.74 - $2 coupon. Just a reminder on the $4 Fusion coupon -- they were in the last P&G (exp. 12-31) also, so use your old ones first.

There are a lot of perfumes half price also. On the more expensive bottles there are $4 peelies. They are the plain Coty peelies that don't say anything on them. I think there were a couple things that would have been a buck or two after the peelie. There will be some nice stuff for a couple dollars if it goes 75%.

I didn't even think to stop at Dollar General. Do they have any Axe sets to use that $3 coupon on? I would so love to go in there and find a bunch that would be free after coupon -- especially since that one specifically says gift sets. There is a cashier in there that HATES coupons (I don't think she is too nuts about me either laugh out loud). She one of those people who is so fakey smart ass nice you just wanna vomit. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her the last time or two. Maybe she is gone.

This would have been better:

I get there first and calmly put ever single gift set they had into MY cart and was standing there looking at them with my cart and myself parked strategically in front of the empty display and here she comes...... I proceeded to stand there and look at them one at a time -- inspecting each and every one, reaching out to put it back on the display and then changing my mind at the last minute and putting it back into my cart. After she left the store, I put them all back on the shelf and went home.

GT - AFTER the fact I had thought GEESH, wwwwhhhhyyyyy oh why oh why did I not throw them all in my cart and then go leave them in the store somewhere ----- or do something like what you suggested? I am just not a quick thinker most of the time Wink

Oh, and here is an awesome pic of that Hoar Frost you were talking about. We had it down here too; this is a pic someone took at a local park:

http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/11...img=1&mg=t

TN - I've baked my own tortilla chips before using corn tortillas....baking would be healthier than frying though I know you are going for a specific flavor - the restaurant ones. A couple other ideas: sometimes I break up hard taco shells and put the chicken/cheese on those, they are a little more like restaurant tortilla chips if you bake them like it says to on the box. Do you have any local restaurants that sell them and that would just leave them unsalted for you?

Most of the time I am absolutely speechless at her behavior until I have a bit of time to think about it...although I am not one to bite my tongue - most of the time I can't stop myself from speaking before something flies right out LMAO This is me when I see her in action:

Jawdrop

I am sure that one of these times I will not be able to hold back Roll

Then there was this other lady at Target that same morning.....another woman and I were trying to get our carts down one of the Christmas aisles and the aisle was just a bit too narrow for two carts so we had collectively determined that she would back out of the aisle at her end so I could exit that row and she could move back in. Meanwhile, this lady behind me shouts, "I NEED TO GET THROUGH!!!" in a very frustrated, nasty tone of voice. I laughed then turned around and said, "Ummmmm YEAH. Me too. What does it LOOK LIKE we are trying to do????" H.o.n.e.s.t.l.y. Some people are morons.

Today the Dr. asked me if I had been stressed out yesterday....I said no. Well, maybe yesterday WAS a bit stressful laugh out loud

I should have remembered to misplace some of those gift sets...but I have some other misplaced items I'm waiting to get until they hit 90%. Hopefully no one looks behind the cat food or behind the lower shelf of Tide laugh out loud

The stuff I want at 90% is nothing important, but it's the cute decorative stuff that isn't worth full price- like the pink purse & shoe ornaments, haha.

Question for you gals..when you are frying stuff, how do you get it to NOT splatter everywhere? I have a fryer, but I hate using it. Takes too long to heat up and it seems like I burn everything. Well not really, but you have to babysit it constantly.

We have magic skillets. laugh out loud Just kidding. If I am going to fry quite a bit I will use my 5 qt. dutch oven instead of a skillet. It's the same diameter and I use the same amount of oil so I'm not submersing the stuff or frying it any differently. Just using a pan with taller side to keep some of the splattering down.

Other than that, there is some splattering. I keep wiping stuff down while I cook. I'm standing there anyway and it's much easier to keep it wiped down while everything is hot than to wait til later. Plus, I don't have a yucky mess to go back to.
