What are you doing today?

We've been getting a bit bored with all this "say at home", and cold blustery weather. So, today, we went to the casino for a few hours. It was a lot of fun, and we both actually won, for a change.
 

I am still glued pretty much to CNN. It’s so amazing when you have a front row seat to history in the making. A hundred, if not hundreds of years from now, what happened in the USA this week, this month, and this year will be read and studied by thousands of people.

2021 has had an interesting start.
 
My new refrigerator is being delivered by Lowes today. I don't know what time and I did not order it, the maintenance man did so I will just wait. I will have to take everything out of this one while they bring the new one in. It will give me a chance to clean the floor underneath this one before they put the new one......I hope. Then later in the afternoon, Sonny will take me shopping.

You must live in an upscale apartment if the order from Lowes!!! I think our replacement appliances come from El Cheapo R Us!!! 😂
 
Not done much today aside from the usual morning chores. It's verrry cold, and dull outside. Hubs is really enjoying his month off work, and is making the most of it pottering in the barn...

Tomorrow is my 20th wedding anniversary.. we can't go anywhere because everything is closed, but it is forecast to be sunny so I might take one of the dogs with me and go for a walk and take some winter pics of my neighbourhood... we're not allowed to go further than our own areas due to the lockdown or we face being stopped by the police and getting a £200 fine
 
I went on my early walk around 6:50,it was cold/breezy outside temp was 25{wearing long underwear for my knees}
If I can motivate myself,I may clean the living rm furniture with Murphy's Oil Soap,or wait until the weekend.My friend,Thora&I are going to our favorite grocery store,we usually go at 9:30a but she has a dr's appt at 11,will go today after lunch. I find it interesting whenever we go at a later time if the store is more or less crowded. The last time we went in afternoon, it wasn't crowded at all
 
Not much!

I've been binge-watching YouTube extreme grocery challenge/haul videos to see if I can pick up some tips on shopping once a month.

Some of the videos are excellent but many of them make me think that the people are being less than honest/sincere about their experience.

What are extreme grocery challenges, @Aunt Bea?

People reveal how they live on $10.00, $15.00, $20.00 per week for groceries or purchase all food from the $tore or some other nontraditional source.

I'm mainly interested in the ways that people manage fresh produce, meat, bakery, dairy, products when they shop once a month or how they switch to frozen canned products later in the month.

I'm thinking that I would use some sort of hybrid system where I do a major grocery order at the beginning of the month and a second smaller order later in the month.

It's interesting for me to see how people approach this topic. Some use all convenience foods, some cook from scratch, some eat the same thing every day, etc...

I've found a few little tips that are helpful to me or reaffirm my own thoughts on the subject.

I try to tell myself I'm conducting research instead of just wasting time. ;)
