I don’t
have a lot to report this week. It was a
lovely quiet week for me with some mountain thunderstorms and rain about every
other day so that has been nice. In
between storms it has been sunny and warm.
I’m noticing the leaves are starting to change on the trees. It is definitely Fall here now.
I
worked some more on the laundry shed retrofitting it to accommodate the little
washing machine and dryer. I had to cut
holes for the water lines, power cords and the dryer vent. Then I got everything all installed, hooked
up and the shed itself moved into place on the existing platform. It is working out rather well so far.

Wednesday
I got a bit of a jumpstart on my October grocery shopping list and went to
Safeway to pick up some sales items for the pantry as well as two packages of
boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale for $1.27 per pound! I wasn’t about to pass that by. This week Safeway had a lot of really good
loss leaders so I took advantage of that so I could add several more items to
the pantry.
My list
for October is rather long as I’m trying to complete the restocking of my kitchen and get myself winter ready. Having these great sales pop up really helped
me to make a nice dent in that list without having to spend a bunch of money. I was able to add eight individually vacuum
sealed chicken breast halves and three packages of sliced strawberries to the
freezer and then cross that part off of my list, along with quite a few other
things.
I unpacked this cat I had brought with me 😂
Currently
I find myself at that stage in my move where I’m unpacking much more slowly and
deliberately as I select a bin or box and find the contents a home. I also find myself coming up with better
ideas for storing items and reorganizing things a different way. I expect that to be something I find myself
doing often in the coming months. I feel
like I made significant progress this week because I can now step into the shed
and actually see what is left inside of it.
How was
your week? Did you find any amazing
deals at the grocery stores? How about
that chicken? I haven’t seen that price
in a good long while.
Can I ask you why your laundry is in a shed? Did you have the option to put it in your house. If it does get cold where you are does this affect that your laundry is outside? Did you not want a dishwasher?

I'll be doing a post soon about the laundry area. No, I did not want a dishwasher.
DeleteSuch a good deal on the chicken, and I do the same thing myself. Sometimes I will add a little marinade or seasoning to a few of the packages before I freeze it. By the time its thawed, its also nicely seasoned.
ReplyDeleteI like to do that too. Makes for super easy meals.
