Yes, you read that right! I am off to the grocery store! I didn't take anything out of the freezer for dinner tonight so I am making a mad dash to the grocery store in town. I will pick up a few things in the meat department and some bread. The only other thing I will do is pick up something free with points earned because some of them are about to expire. Stay tuned to see what I got free!! Be back to check in with ya'll in about an hour or maybe two! Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

@kaylachan Ok, you need to set your mind to positive now and not worry about making payout. You have been making it easily for the last few months. So no doubting yourself!!

@kareng Yeah. I find Febuary to be my most stressful month. I can make payout, but I doubt it the most.

I remembered to thaw some meatballs. Hubby is going to make meatball sandwiches with peppers and onions. I do not feel well. I am going to eat and go to bed.

@GardenGerty I'm sorry you don't feel well. Hot broth might taste better to you right now?

Good luck with getting some good deals. It's too hot for us to think about going out. Vince picked up milk and bread yesterday so we're good for a day or two.

I got a couple of rump roasts for $3.99/lb. That's a good deal with the way prices are right now. I will pick up a couple more before this sale is over!

@JudyEv Here too! This store has way better meat than Walmart and a good price when it is on sale. They had a special the other day on pork ribs. $15 for a 15 lb. box of them.

Good luck at the grocery store. As for dinner plans, I never take anything out of the freezer to thaw, or at least hardly ever do. I just defrost it in the microwave and have never had any issue doing that. Granted, if it's something like a roast or as whole chicken or something, I have to thaw that since doing it in the microwave is hardly practical.

I just leave it at, "I don't really feel like cooking and find something else or eat out!" I wish we had more choices here in town of places to eat.

@porwest What really gets me in some places around here with prices is the cost of a drink. I've seen up to $3.99 for a soft drink. That's crazy! That adds right to $10 on to meal for two people.

@kareng Luckily, we have no shortage of eating out choices around here.

That is a good idea Rather than wait for stuff from the freezer to thaw this is faster.

I haven’t had to do that in a while (make a dash to the store for dinner), but I have had to do it, so I know how you feel.

Funny thing was we ended up making sandwiches! I told him we could do bacon sandwiches or sausage sandwiches, but I was not cooking a roast that late. So we pulled out the sliced ham and had ham and cheese sandwiches. I am going to put a roast on in just a few for dinner tonight.

I got two rump roasts on sale for $3.99 lb. I'll go back in a couple of days and pick up a couple more for the freezer. Can't beat that price!!

The only sweet thing on the list was instant hot chocolate mix with 10 packets in the box. I usually buy that in a big canister, so didn't want to waste my points on that.
