I love my grabber and use it for so many things. It really comes in handy. <br /><br />Bailey gets her plants at the grocery stores, yard sales, Lowe’s, Walmart, and a locally owned shop called Bada Bing. She got the prettiest Christmas cactus this week. I will have to take a picture and show it to everyone this week. It’s beautiful. I love the Donkeys Tail too. She did order a few online at the beginning of the Pandemic, but hasn’t done that lately. Etsy is a good place to look for them, but they can get pricey. <br /><br />I’m so glad you and your dh got the booster! I’m sorry it made you sick though. It’s a good feeling to have the shots though and worth it to me. <br /><br />That is unreal that your family thought you should have bought them a new tv because you bought your dh one. Some people, huh?! <br /><br />I hope you’re enjoying your Black Friday shopping online. I’ve been doing a little myself. <br /><br />I hope you have a terrific week!Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-71675983317093600272021-11-29T08:49:39.155-05:002021-11-29T08:49:39.155-05:00Thank you for showing the grabber!

I kept thinking I needed something but couldn't remember what it was. It was the grabber, lol. I found a heavy duty one at Amazon that is really nice. <br /><br />Congrat's on your booster! Yeah! DH & I got ours on Black Friday, of all days. We got it at WalMart too, lol. It was really easy and the WalMart we went to hardly anyone was doing any shopping. We did get the last appointment for the day on purpose to avoid the crowds. Like Bailey, I was sick the next day from Booster. DH did OK with a small fever, mild backache & sore arm. I got the fatigue, swollen lymph node, nausea, fever & chills. Least I had a good strong reaction to it, lol. After one day I am back to my chipper self.<br /><br />I don't blame you for cutting down your list. My DH & I did that when our family got too greedy. I bought my DH a TV one year for X-mas. It was such a luxury present. Our family lost it when they saw he had a new TV and we didn't buy a TV for them. Not joking. They don't get anything, not even a visit, lol. That was also us breaking an abuse cycle more than frugality. I definitely know when you break those cycles it really helps with frugality. <br /><br />I love the Donkey's Tail. It is so pretty. Where are you & Bailey getting your beautiful plants? I really love them. Do you order online? It's so hard for me to get plants during Covid. I am desperate for resources.<br /><br />I have been doing Black Friday shopping online to prepare DH & I for our big move. I have found some great deals this year. <br /><br />That's pretty much it for frugal week. :)SafyneAnaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037905819241141808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-70697184853769960782021-11-29T02:41:31.865-05:002021-11-29T02:41:31.865-05:00Thank you, Jackie.

I was so surprised the first time she made it as I was thinking it would be hot, but it wasn’t. Bailey really liked the Fritos in this, so your kids might too.

Thanks for sharing!...That taco recipe sounds great. Thanks for sharing! We typically swap chiles for jalapenos from the garden. If you dice them finely & cook them, they become much more mild, & I can sneak them into our recipes. We have SO many!<br /><br />We're having tacos for dinner tomorrow. I'll brown up the full package of meat, and prep the rest for easy freezer meals. Maybe we'll try this recipe for the next taco dinner. I think the kids would like the addition of the Fritos.

And I made some zucchini bread with the zucchini. <br /><br />Yes, I decided to just make it the way we like it with no chili’s. I will save the ones I have for a chicken dish we like.
