    Good for you, Klunick!
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    I ended up putting my Fall garland back on the mantle to fill in the gaps. Of course, my husband never even noticed the change. Grrr!!

    It sounds really pretty, Klunick! This morning I awoke to find a 14 foot Christmas tree in the barn. Husband had cut off the top of a taller tree while working in the woods. I said it would not last until christmas, we have 10 foot ceilings, and it was blocking the door to the woodyard. So he is feeling grumpy with me this morning.

    Lost Hoopla when moved to TX. On recent trip a person at the airport told me how to get it from a large library not in my area. I LOVE Hoopla! I am psyched! The previous time at the airport I was told how to get a free gym membership. Flying tomorrow (hopefully)… would be unbelievable if I learned another cost saving measure!

    Last night my husband and oldest commented on how little decor there was on the mantle. They said I needed more. Today I caved and ordered some stuff from Amazon. I then decided to cancel it and go to Michael's and get some stuff in person.

    In the end, I didn't stop at Michael's and won't be buying any decor. I am going to resist.
    I did end up getting two things from Michael's yesterday. Everything was 50% off. Spent $20 instead of the $50 I was planning on spending on Amazon a couple days ago. Got two ceramic ghosts which will last for years so I am ok with the purchase.

    Senior community center/medical charity foundation sponsoring free workout center (fitness instructors, classes and numerous workout machines). It is open to every senior even if they do not belong to the medical facility next door. I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere.

    Kroger had a 2 day sale that included our favorite ground coffee. Instead of regular price of $8.49 it was $3.99 with no limit. We added 20 to our stash over two stores. The price recently was raised so we expected a sale. Thankfully, our flavor was well stocked.

    At the same time there was a Key Lime Pie marked down 50%. We are going to try to freeze 2 pieces.

    And, if we spent $100 we got $10 off. So husband found a pair of pants he had his eye on for awhile and knew they were a good price. Receipt said we saved 40% on our total bill.

    Next Kroger we hit we got a 46% off all our carefully chosen purchases.

    I guess Covid turned us into grocery store treasure hunters. Note: we are still very, very careful with our selections and do not buy much processed food.

    That is so cool, Sweetana. Very inspiring, we need to get into the swing of grocery frugality because we sure haven't been.

    Coffee has gone up due to weather causing smaller harvests the last two years. I've stocked up on my tea.
