RETIRED: Target chit chat

I heard they do hot choklit.

I'm tempted to get one also, but we drink at least a pot per day. Either we'd slow down (which isn't a bad thing), or we'd go broke buying k-cups! lol

Speaking of those fancy machines, I think I'm buying one for my sister for her birthday next month. She really wants one and she totally drinks just 1 cup a day so I think it would be perfect for her. Plus she would NEVER buy one for herself.

99¢/lb won't buy hot dogs here consistently, so I that you can find decent meat that cheap, consistently. You must have some deal with a meat guy if he tells you when items are to be marked down.

I stalk Kroger's meat department for manager specials and try to make it to Food City for the markdowns too (but less often because they don't double q's). I also stalk our ST for meat markdowns. When there's a q out I buy the smallest packs I can find that qualify for the q.

Ground beef is typically .99/lb on sale (or when the .50 beef coupon is out I will buy the 1.99/lb pack or chub and get it for .99 after the q - I need to do better at making use of that q when it comes out 1-2 x a year!) and split chicken breasts go on sale for .99/lb quite often here. I've found that de-boning them is very very easy - especially the tyson ones. I usually just have to make a couple cuts with a sharp knife and yank the rib-bones off. I'm willing to do it though, but some folks would probably be grossed out. Whole chickens go on sale/manager special for .69/lb - same with turkeys. Pork is harder to get at that price, but we can't eat a lot of it anyways (super trigger for DH's gout) so I just keep an eye on it here and there. If it's been ages and I'm dying for a pork roast, I would consider paying up to about 1.69/lb for cheap pork - but only if I'm anticipating overage. We rarely eat beef also, but I do like to throw it in once in a while for a change from our usual chicken if I can get it cheap enough.

I should admit that I do sometimes buy a more expensive pack of meat when I'm trying to use up overage or something - especially at T. Sometimes DH requests ribs, so I do pay up to 1.99/lb for those. I try to anticipate when he'll be requesting that though (i.e. summer time barbecue) and stock up when I see 'em marked down. But even that is rare and I rarely buy meat without some kind of q or overage involved. I don't know why I have a thing against paying for meat. I begrudge the prices on the meats for some reason.

You know what I wish I had. Creme de menthe and vanilla ice cream.

Does anyone know what tropicana runs at T? I need to figure out some shopping. Ugh.

It's true! I want to be one of you fancy gals. Sad thing, a Keuring wouldn't do it. It'd take a lot more than that to make me fancy. I'm not sure it's even possible.

Fyi...if you make a new account with Keurig, you can register your brewer again and get the b2g2 again plus $3 off a box. Bummed that they were out of German Chocolate cake, but I still ordered some hopefully yummy ones!

hey all. We finally made it home from missouri today and I am totally exhausted. I think we drove over 40 hours in 3 days. lol Hell, probably more than that. I had fun though until the roads got nasty.

I hate snow. I reeeeeeeeeally hate snow.

I was doing good until the holidays...And everything went crazy..cookies, chips, junk food, pizza galore...



Coming back...

Ugh. My oldest took my toddler outside to play in the snow this morning. They were out for quite a while - almost an hour! Came back in, had some hot cocoa, and my toddler passed out. She slept for like 3 hours! I knew something was up. She woke up with a fever of 103.7. Ugh. Thankfully, we've managed it with motrin and tepid baths all day and there's been no so far. Poor thing...



- especially something that's mail order! I think I'd at 13.XX!! If I ever win the lottery (guess I should buy a ticket... lol) I think I will go to a butcher and buy all the expensive cuts of meat. Then I'll go to a seafood place and buy all the expensive fishy stuff. Then I'll find someone who knows how to cook it all so I don't ruin it the first time and pay them to make me the most expensive meal I've ever ate. Just because.



Well... toddler is tucked in and hopefully now sleeping. Mavis is sleeping for now too. I am sitting here and slowly organizing (read that as digging out) my desk.

I need to shop big time... We're almost out of everything.

*hug* Thank you so much!

I also want to lose 15-20 lbs by summer! I have actually been doing pretty good...until today. I have been WAY too snacky today. Ugh.

I think it has alot to do the recent computer updates, cashiers entering price, lawsuts over xx/2.


This has been surprislgly hard on me as he is my "little brother" also his babysitter on occasion. Has brought out the mother in me big time.

I'm just hoping for the best.


Snow here aalso but just two or three inches ,roads are clear, I think it's weird that the south is getting hit harder that us right now.

Everbody drive safe.

thanks Tracy I feel better now, but my head still hurts and feels 'heavy' :


: sitting outside in the cold, fresh air and drinking lots water while breathing deep seemed to help. It was like shiny zippers in my line of vision. Hard to read, etc.

DS finally started back at preschool today. Dropped off 20 canisters of Clorox wipes (Publix deal) and several cookie sheets and muffins today at the school. Director was ecstatic! Feels good to be a giver.

I wouldn't think that people would spend $9/lb on Boar's Head meats either, but they do. I'll admit, love Boar's Head (I've gotten a sub made one time with it ), but not an every week kind of a purchase. I was behind a woman at Publix a few weeks ago that paid over $13/lb for some kind of beef. Hope it was good and they talk about it for MONTHS at that price!

You are a fancy gal!! You are deep down inside.. and thats why we all each other so...

whole foods used to be an overpriced store.

Glad to see you back, was starting to worry about you !
Thanks so much you really are a sweetie


How was Disney ???

I am definitely happy to be home lol... we drove back and forth to FL which made for a very long trip to and from.. Disney was fun!! It was definitely amazing to see my 2 and 3 year watching Beauty and the Beast on stage with such a look of enchantment, it was great!! My 2 year dd is my mini me and she wants to be just like mommy and she got a stuffed panda and was so excited!! It was sooooooooo simple to make her happy... the older kids not as much but all in all a good time. We came home to our oriental cat having her babies!! YAY!! It was exciting but we were expecting her to have more than a week left before giving birth.. the kids are going crazy over the baby kitties, it's so fun when they are little!! Sending many hugs!!

awww... do you have pics??

Aw... I got all excited then went to look up whole foods and they don't have one in our area. Guess that's another one to add to my wishlist!

Great idea on the organizational gs/ys stuff. You are a wealth of info!

I hope you feel much better soon. I can't imagine what it's like trying to live with all that pain.


In other crazy news. I wish I had a big old hunk of crispy bacon. Methinks that night time is a bad time for me - I want to eat!

Which supermarket do you have?

Are you sure that there aren't only bulls-eyes out there? Seriously, though, I need to make a better effort at shopping at Kmart from now on.

I need to shop big time... We're almost out of everything.

There was a BOGO Q for H&S just last summer, and also a $1/1 Q that you could legitimately stack (it was coded 01) and there was an ECB deal at CVS at the same time and I stocked up .... didn't pay anything but tax OOP ....

I know it's no consolation but there is a Stayfree, $1/1 (any), Print [smartsource.com]

Can I use both the BOGO and the $1 cpns at the same time?

If the BOGO you have is coded "01", then yes. If it's coded "14", then no.

not the IP ones that were posted last couple days. Because they are coded 14 (meaning they'll attach to both items) . Someone mentioned bogo coming in suday paper is 01 , and that one you can use $1/1 with

Man everyone on here seems to be getting a Kuerig..... They are sooo effing expensive that I can't justify the amount though!

I don't drink coffee, but I've got to admit that I'm still tempted from all the talk here. Is that stupey or what?

Does anyone know what tropicana runs at T? I need to figure out some shopping. Ugh.
