Aldi’s Breakfast Best Burritos.

Haven’t tried one yet but have heard good things.

Speaking of Girl Scout cookies, I was in Aldi's a couple weeks ago and asked a store worker if some cookies were good (see image below). A couple shoppers turned to see what I had and everyone said they're better than the Girl Scout cookies. Ion't know about the Girl Scout cookies but I really like these (Benton's Peanut Butter Fudge Cookies).

I don't know if I'd say "better than", but I'd definitely go as far as "as good as". Benton's PB Fudge cookies have a big thumbs up in my house.

We also like the butter flavor Clancy's Puffed Corn from Aldi's. (Brittany gives them 4 paws up!)

I bought a pack of 10 pair of underwear today. They were on end-of-season clearance for $20! (Usually $70.) And underwear is one of the things that's supposed to go up drastically with the new tariffs. So I got a great deal.

I also bought a biscuit.

Haven’t yet, but on my way home I shall get…

Groceries at Trader Joe’s. I need some quick meals to make on workdays. And right now I’m working 7 days a week. So quick meals to make on LATE workdays.

I’m also ordering the dogs food through Chewy

And I have some pertinents in my Amazon cart. Most importantly, one of those wall racks that hold brooms and mops and such. I can’t stand the clutter any more!

Thanks for the heads up on vanilla. I will definitely stock up. (Although the last time I did that, my roommate ate it all on ice cream. She's gone now - the vanilla was only one of many reasons.)

I stocked up on coffee.

A little couch for my back porch that folds out to be a bed so I can sleep out on the porch :)

Prescriptions, which I was really concerned about the cost - I lost my prescription insurance when I got Medicare. I did sign up for it as soon as I could, but it doesn't start until May 1, and now I have a deductible. Fortunately, I used GoodRx today, and it saved me a bundle. I'm saving my receipts; I might be able to itemize my taxes next year.

Because of the harrowing times we faced five years ago during Covid 19, I was smart enough to foresee T——p’s toxic grip on our nation of white nationalist haters, so I bought enough cleaning products and toilet paper to last at least a decade (until I die, I suppose).

I don’t need to buy anything made by a bazzillionare person or their business organization.

I plan to buy all my veggies from local produce growers and I’ve got enough sundry goods (flours, leavening agents) to fix (bake) my own ‘bread’.


The only thing I worry about is finding clean water. 💦

Also, I’m not buying any decision made by current members of the GOP or the US Supreme Court. I hope these people feel the heat from members of our US society who don’t buy their BS either. May you all experience the same hate driven cruelty as your instant karma soon.

My forever home... I'm so happy. This is such a sweet little space with so much history. If you need me, I'll be lounging on the riverbank.
