My Most Recent Thrift Haul for Reselling
Hi all! This is a subject I've been wanting to write about for a while now. The biggest reason for not doing it yet is that I've been very busy reselling. I quit my 9 to 5 last May and have been working very hard to make ends meet; seems there's been no time to… Continue reading My Most Recent Thrift Haul for Reselling
How I Created Raised Garden Beds For Free
Before the pandemic hit, I only had a 4x4' garden bed. I was laid off from my job and concerned about food shortages so wanted to start growing a larger garden. I also had health in mind, wanting to grow herbs and produce. In the past I studied herbs and knew many of them have… Continue reading How I Created Raised Garden Beds For Free

Covid19 Stay-Home and Lifestyle Thoughts
A few years ago I had FOMO (fear of missing out) and didn't know it. I didn't have the money to go to restaurants, bars, vacations, movies. I didn't have a partner to share all these good times with like everyone else seemed to. I'd dread the weekends thinking everyone else was out having the… Continue reading Covid19 Stay-Home and Lifestyle Thoughts
Follow-Up On Walmart Grocery Pick-Up
On my first post on Walmart Grocery Pick-Up, I left off with not being able to schedule a time due to increased demand so I was going to try back later. I tried back the next morning and was able to schedule the pick-up for 2 days later. The instructions said to get their app… Continue reading Follow-Up On Walmart Grocery Pick-Up
Walmart Grocery Shopping Online & Pick-Up Experience
One of the things I planned to do in protecting myself from CoronaVirus is to shop online for my groceries and do the pick-up service. This is not something I was open to before because I like looking for deals and picking out my own fresh produce. But I'm trying to stay away from large… Continue reading Walmart Grocery Shopping Online & Pick-Up Experience

Homemade Convenience Food: Bagel Pizzas
Pizza has always been one of my favorite foods and now I can bring it to work with me for lunch with no hassle. I simply toast bagel halves, spread on store-bought pizza sauce, add toppings and shredded cheese. Toasting the bagels helps them to not get soggy from the pizza sauce. Once assembled, I… Continue reading Homemade Convenience Food: Bagel Pizzas
Homemade Convenience Food Series #1: Sweet Tea
I save single serve bottles from when I purchase beverages from a store (like Gatorade, tea or soda). Then I make a large batch of sweet tea, let it cool, pour it into the saved and cleaned bottles and refrigerate. Then I have the convenience of grabbing a bottle for work or when I get… Continue reading Homemade Convenience Food Series #1: Sweet Tea
Homemade Mayonnaise
I get excited over weird things I think. I was out of mayonnaise this week and needed some for a sandwich I was making. I didn't want to make a trip to the store. I've known it's possible to make your own mayonnaise but never tried it. I knew it required eggs and oil, which… Continue reading Homemade Mayonnaise
Easy Cold Brewed Coffee
I love iced coffees! I've never liked the price of iced coffees. A long time ago I started making my own special coffee drinks at home. Learned how to make simple syrup and bought an espresso machine and have been using it for years. I recently learned of cold brew coffee and did a search… Continue reading Easy Cold Brewed Coffee
Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipe / What’s Your Favorite Sauce Recipe?
I'm a fan of Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce and one day wanted to make a barbecue chicken pizza and found I didn't have a drop of Sweet Baby Ray's.
