Shopping with flair . . .

Nothing like grocery shopping when the sales are all in your favor. You get the thrill of the kill when your receipt comes to under $100 and you saved paying $80 more because you outplayed the advertising lures. If I pay full price for anything, it had better be something really, really great or for a new recipe that can't wait for a sale. I imagine that once all the new taxes hit next year, the savings at the grocery store will take on an even more important meaning. Hey, better frugal when it is more fun than work to be prepared for the leaner times.

Found two, new quilt patterns and already have one cut out. It is called a jig saw pattern and it looks like a puzzle.

Try not to listen to TOO much of the news as there is nothing good to hear. Most of the time, one just wants to yell and scream at the reporters and journalists who would rather protect the government than the people who PAY for their publications. Very weird world, lately.
