A tiny little clothes closet refresh has been on my agenda for a couple weeks and I finally got to it. Motivation was in short supply lately. Maybe cooler, shorter days have something to do with it. Maybe a full(ish) schedule is the problem. I donât know, but I tackled it and youâll be surprised […]
On the hunt for decent produce (especially fruit), I decided to bite the bullet and get the large quantities Costco sells. Costcoâs bulk sizes on many items (like paper goods and OTC drugs) is no problem if you have the storage space. But itâs a little off-putting with produce that wonât keep when youâre a […]
Is a Costco membership worth it for a small family? As a family of two, I can positively state that yes. Yes, it is. And Iâm not alone. Most of my friends who have families of one or two also derive great benefit from shopping at Costco. If you are a regular reader, you might […]
Purchasing pre-shredded packages of cheese is expense, contains added chemicals and is not very tasty. But, I do it. Because itâs convenient. Please. Itâs not that hard to shred some cheese. And then I had the great (no pun intended) idea to get the gargantuan block of cheddar from Costco and grate up the whole […]
Iâve had my eye on a couple of things for my back patio this year. And everything âoutdoorâ is so expensive! But patience has won out and here are my scores from summer-end clearance shopping.

Some purchasing hits and some misses â here is my Amazon (and life) update for August. Shoe Rack Less than one year ago I was touting the great shoe rack find from Amazon that would help me keep shoes in the garage and out of the house. Well. Fast Forward just a few months and […]
Although itâs on the far side of town, we sometimes enjoy checking out the Pottery Barn Outlet and seeing if they have any deals worth the drive. The Deals Upon entering, there is a prominent sign clearly stating the dayâs deals. They change frequently and are not advertised, so the only way to know what […]
When ya find a good thing ya just donât want to let it go. Am I right? Iâll hold onto my favorites for a long time. But really. There are things Iâm replacing sooner this year. Iâm resolving! Perhaps my life would be a smidge better if I wasnât worried about slipping on a wet […]
It was way past time to bring our dining table and chairs into the 21st century. But when you love something, itâs hard to say goodbye. Donât you think? So, after heart-wrenching months, the decision was made to sell the bookcase in our dining room and the table and chairs. Hub sold everything on FB […]
Today Iâm sharing a portion of our Costco haul and recommendations on what we like. My allergies have been insane this month and I needed some more generic Allegra. Costco has the best price on that (cough, cough) so we took the plunge and headed there on a Sunday morning. Everyone who doesnât go to […]
