Back to the series what have you found cheap lately?

snowy @snowy22315 (198257) • United States 3 Nov

I found a 3 lb bag of apples at Aldi for 1.99. That was a good price and are full size apples, not like the small ones I usually buy for that. They had cheap avocados there too, although I didn't get one. Bread was 1.25. Anything...

Jim Bauer No recent new deals. I haven't been to a store in a few days as I was pretty well stocked. I will be checking the Schnuck's ad though later today, and have to make a run to Walmart. You got a good deal on the bread.

Is it a stew or a casserole ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (6225) • United Kingdom 18h

I’ve just been watching a cookery video and there was a debate about what to call the meal. Basically it was chunks of lamb, carrots, leek and potatoes covered in stock and cooked in the oven. So would you call that a stew …..or...

Jim Bauer I would call it a stew, not a casserole. I tend to think of a casserole as something baked that sticks together and usually has noodles or rice in it. Granted, a tater tot casserole is without rice or noodles, but it still sticks together.

Jim Bauer People watching, for me, comes with a deep fascination. Maybe it is my curiosity, or maybe it is the writer in me always looking for characters or traits or things people do... Because people do things that are often times stranger than fiction. lol

Loving That Yellow Fruit

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90548) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Nov
