In the past this curling iron would have sold for $1 but today it was priced $2; still a good deal when compared to new but it is hard adjusting to higher prices.

Bummer
For the past year our local Goodwill stores have been going up on their prices. It didn't bother me too much since I still had two other thrift stores that offered bargain prices; that is until today.

ABC's
The other day, while at the library, Elizabeth found a Sesame Street Cookbook.
This was the first recipe she wanted to try.
I thought it would be easy to find alphabet noodles but it wasn't; we searched three stores before finding some.
Thankfully I had some chicken stock in the freezer so Elizabeth could have her soup this evening.
It was a big hit!

A Coupon and a Markdown
Our local Target had Quaker Chewy Granola bars on sale for $2 per box and I had a coupon for $1 off a 2-box purchase. My final price was $1.50 per box.
But my best deal today was an unexpected bargain;
Orange juice marked 75-cents per carton; it was so good the kids and I finished one off before we even made it back home!

Potato Pancakes
When I was growing up my mom always made potato pancakes; you begin with leftover mashed potatoes;
To this add one egg;
To this add one egg;
A small amount of flour;
And a little milk.
Continue adding milk until you have a thick batter.
Spoon the batter into a hot skillet;
Cook until golden brown on each side.
Serve warm.
Sometimes my mom would add leftover corn to the batter but I like them best plain.Thursday, January 8, 2009
On Line Shopping
Seldom do I purchase on line except for occasionally I will purchase on e-bay. However, after Christmas I was reading about a 55% off fabric sale that I could not resist… 
I love my new fabrics but “shame on me” I didn’t need anymore fabric!

Pizza Pizza
Yesterday, Elizabeth and I went to the library; we love to get books with lots of pictures and fun information.
One of the books we checked out was about pizza; it is loaded with pictures...

Which made us hungry.
So we made pizza for lunch!

I have always loved creating things "The Old Fashion Way" but I cannot imagine pioneer women being as slow about it as I am!
I have only just completed my second ball of yarn and I still have two more shirts to cut up before I can even begin the crocheting part of making a rug.
