Well, I planned to hit-up Kroger for their triple coupon sale, but after frantically thumbing through all my coupons, I found I really couldn't get that many deals. Since tomorrow's payday, and my husband's check (disablity) didn't come, I took out my last $20 to go shopping. Here's what I got at Meijer's. Sorry no picture, Kara took it with her to Columbus the last couple of days.

FYI, I did do 2 separate transactions for Chex Mix, you can only do 2 like coupons, also use the self checkout. The coupons on
www.coupon.com have alot of do not double printed on them, but the self checkout will automatically double. My total bill? $14.98, no tax, all was edible. I saved $15.05 with my coupons or 50% on my grocery bill!
The baby girl is just fine. Only good news at the doctor's today. The lymph cells were benign (cancer-free!). Thank you for all of your prayers. God bless you. Remember the power of prayer is strong.
The chicks finally upgraded to their new home. We had a shed we were only storing junk in, so we cleaned it out, so the chicks could move in. This is a picture of the inside. Lucky them they got a new water feeder $5.
This is their box of hay/straw so they can huddle together at night. They are out of the elements, but no heat. Its also inside of the shed.
They just look oh so happy! (but not as happy as me! Phew stinky will be gone!) Soon after summer they will be able to go in with the big girls, hens, for the winter.
My friend Paula over at www.savingmoney101.blogspot.com challenged us all to show our garden updates, of course I am always up a challenge! Here goes, part of being a redneck is planting up front vegetables instead of flowers. Here are our 3 tomato plants up front. They actually are doing well.
Now to the back. Since we have a fair amount of land (2 1/2 acres) we have several little growing areas. Now of course rednecks can't decide on where would be the best place to plant a garden! These are green beans. We planted these earlies than everything else around the first week of May. These are doing great and we are actually weeding them. Green beans soon.
Now out to the far back for the rest of the garden. Of course this area requires us to piece multiple junk hoses together and occasionally borrow hose from the neighbor to water. This area actually has chicken wire around it to keep out the rabbits. Far right more banana peppers, broccolli next (the bigger plants) and morse peppers ont the left both bell and banana.
This is a picture of one of my watermelon plants. Looks good but is a fooler, I took a close up. They need a little help.
It seems like only yesterday the chicks were this big! This is a snapshot of the first day we got them May 6th. So small, cute and cuddly.
And here they are now with the DH. It's hard for me to believe they are the same birds in a little over a month. We long gave up our make shift bruter. We now have them in a large refridgerator cardboard box.
