Today as I browsed the market I really began to wonder why more people don’t shop there. There were fresh fruits and vegetables that were not only cheaper than the grocery store but also better quality than what you get at the grocery store. The meat is all local from smaller farms–no factory farms and the price is unbeatable. I got 10 lbs of lean ground beef for $20 and at the supermarket that costs me about $3.99 per lb. There are cheeses, milk, butter, ice cream, breads, nuts, grains, baked goods, homemade jams, soaps…all for much cheaper than at any grocery store. I also bought a bunch of freash lavender for a buck. I absolutely love the market.
We also went out this morning searching for yard sales but did have much luck. I did end up finding a juice pitcher and a cookie jar for $2 and an Alladin VHS for $2. Hopefuly tomorrow I will make some more deals!
My sister is finally here visiting. I am so glas to see her. She is not staying for very long, but any visit is better than nothing. I am still secretly hoping her man and her decide to move this way before her baby is born. Oh well…I have a couple of weeks at least to convince her…LOL!
We are still looking at homes. The one we had been interested in has a conditional offer on it and another we looked at was a major fixer upper. We don’t mind doing some upgrading and whatnot, but we want to make sure whatever we buy is structurally sound and sturdy. There is not an awful lot in our price range and what does come up usually doesn’t last very long on the market so I am sure we aren’t going to find something too easily. Luckily for us, we are in no hurry to find something and can wait till the right house finds us.
My party is next weekend and my house still isn’t up to par…and with my sister visiting I am not sure if I am going to have the time to get it perfect. It’s looking pretty organised though and I am managing to keep the toys in the kids’ bedroom. We have decided we are going to clean Friday and then go camping so we cannot mess the house over the weekend and it will stay clean until Sunday.
Have a good weekend everyone!!
