Another big one: an employee showed me where they sell their “loss” eggs. When they have cartons with broken eggs, they combine them into other cartons and sell them for $1.99/dozen, and they’re only from the “fancy eggs” section- the organic and free range etc brands. Very excited about this, and it’ll save a chunk of change every month. We eat a lot of eggs.
Interesting. I asked a couple of different people at one grocery here and was told that by law they have to discard the whole container if there is a broken or cracked egg. Wasteful.
Either way, I’m still buying them! Lol. I grew up storing our eggs in a drawer, I’m not a fancy lady (admittedly, farm fresh with the bloom on is different than store eggs, but still)
The Lidl near my house is now open and in the 2 times I’ve been the first time we were able to get all our groceries (plus some once every other month type items) for $50 less than I usually spend. Today they didn’t have the meats I needed but I still spent dramatically less for way more. Yay grocery savings!
Booked flight and hotel for BFFs harry potter bachelorette weekend. Forgot I had CC points so I was able to pay for the hotel for all of us for $65! Now if only park tickets weren’t an arm and a leg…
Biggest Victory:
Potential Client I talked to yesterday just emailed to say she is happy with my proposal and wants to get started, no negotiations on my rate. So I just doubled my monthly income
I picked up a really nice handmade lavender body balm and lip balm from a Buy Nothing person who can’t wear scents. I left her a bag of chocolate covered cherries that I didn’t like that she’s super excited about-- apparently cherries are her favorite thing! Now my legs are moisturized and my room smells like really nice French lavender!!
Orlando, right? Looking at the calendar, I should be able to swing meeting you and getting tickets with my annual pass.
Or I wonder if I can pre-purchase the tickets and mail them to you or something? I’m going to the parks in 2 weeks and I will ask the folks there. How many would you need?
Yep, Orlando. You are an absolute angel for offering this! We’d need 3 tickets and I think we’ve decided on park to park because if we’re gonna do it for 2 days we’re gonna ride the hogwarts express, probably more times than is reasonable, just because we can
