My garden so far:
I have ordered 2 new black cherry trees and some strawberries from our local conservation district. I'm deciding how to tell husband that I've done this but I always tell him everything. Of course he will know soon when Spring comes, so I'd better think of something quick before we have to go pick them up. Maybe I should start with dear, you know we need a small orchard so I....
We have yet to get a peach or a apple from the trees I've planted a couple of years ago but there is always hope that they will do well this year.
I also planted some milk jugs for winter sowing. I'm probably a little late on this one but we are still in the midst of winter here. This year I only planted early crops like lettuce, mustard greens, and some radishes. It seems this are the early crops grow the best for me in winter sowing. I have two small greenhouses that I will start planting in April.
Good Deals:
This week I have felt like a huntress, hunting good deals all week!
We went to the Salvation Army thrift store at the beginning of the week and I found brand new Capri shorts for Spring for about $3.00 each. They still had the tags from the store on them! I also found a clock for my sewing nook ($2.99 -green tag it was half off), some Tupperware, and a coffee pot. It was so fun finding things we need at such a cheap price.
Meijers also had 50% off some clearance clothes. I found husband a Levi Winter Jacket for $20 and some clothes for the grandkids (Leggings for granddaughter and a Lions T-shirt for grandson).
Flashfood deals: 2 large trays of Spring Mix Lettuce $2.24 and $1.59, 3 Land o lakes Butter for $2.69 ea, 2 1/2 lbs of ground beef (laura's $3.74 & $3.91), steamtable red potatoes for $1.64, 4 Pork Loin Blakes chops for $1.24, and a apple box for $5.00. Total spent $27.43.

Great deals at the Salvation Army thrift store. I love our SA thrift store as they have 99 cent Thursday’s here. Your fruit tree orchard sounds lovely. I want one of those someday too. It’s on my bucket list. :)
ReplyDeleteYes even though the trees aren't producing well I've ordered trees a few at a time. Hopefully soon they will get with it!
DeleteI'm jealous over your 99 cent thursdays! That would be a lot of fun!
I am loving your Flashfood deals! We got a number of deals at the discount grocery stores but now I am not remembering much of what we bought. We did find Italian Sausage for 1.25 a pound and our favorite frozen FF for 1.79 a bag and 2 pound bags of coffee of whole bean coffee for 4.99. We got a free bag of Otis Spunkmeyer sugar cookie dough for a full punch card at one store. Our thrift stores have gotten so expensive that we haven't even been going. I don't understand why they do that when the store is so packed with stuff and nobody is buying.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like great deals - I was thinking of frozen french fries when we decided to have hot dogs last minute...if I just had some the meal would have been even better. I like that deal.
DeleteI want to go back to the Amish store soon and see what they have but really we are good for awhile. The weather needs to shape up too.
