I got 2 pounds of Asparagus for $2. The grocer put out a sign that said "must use quickly", which means they are no longer fresh. I grilled them all as soon as I got home, & noshed on them for the next 4 days. What a deal.

We had the cabinet craftsman over the other day to remove, craft and reinstall a cabinet door that opened the wrong way, making it really awkward and unreachable.

Frustration of 6 years finally resolved! Only $60.

I bought an Instant Pot during the 2020 Black Friday sale. It is AmazeBalls what I can do with that thing. Worth every single penny.

Free gift card received never used because clothing store too far away and not buy clothes online because of sizing issues so try on locally as time consuming hassle of higher risk of returns. So recently I donated the physical card electronically here https://stjude.cardcash.com , such a feeling of tears and joy. Children, least of these so to speak, nearly always cannot help getting cancer and financial burden for some families. Process was easy, only had to give basic contact info addresses including email and phone, and donation confirmed within hours.

Last November I started a diet. As a result I haven’t had pumpkin pie in two years. This year a giant pumpkin pie from Costco for under 6 bucks. I’ve been eating a slice every other night since they brought them back in November. Delicious.

Pumpkin is a vegetable and it's good for you. That's what I tell myself when I eat it for breakfast.

We paid $450 for our German Shepherd. More enjoyment from her then all the trips we have taken that cost us hundreds of times more money. Each new day is another day of fun and enjoyment.

Actually a Pumpkin is a fruit! Just like a tomato is.
