Fifty-One Cents

1:00pm
This morning I got a 8 dollar roast beef and 4 pounds of strawberries for 51 cents. How great is that??!!

That is because I had decided that this Sunday I would 'cash-in' my coupons from buying gas over the last few weeks. And the stawberries were on for only 1.50 each! (I hope there is not some awful reason they are so inexpensive). I have washed and cut up one box already and will freeze them in little bags for use over the next few weeks (or longer). I still have quite a few left from last week and so they will have to be eaten in the next day or two since they are past their best. I also have some of the Saskatoon's from the Farmer's Market of two weeks ago. The seem ok still. Taste ok.

I also made a stir-fry from the remaining veggies from a while ago (still good), mixed with the peas I was given yesterday. And now I am making some brown rice. This will be for my lunches for the coming week.

And later I will cook the roast and make a lovely pot roast with potatoes, carrots and onions. It was a small roast but should be enough to add to the stir fry as well as make sandwiches or have with other things for supper.

I have not been having much of a supper these past two weeks because I have been taking a very good lunch to have on my break (feeling I probably need the energy earlier in the day..which is true). And with the supplements I am taking I am not falling down depleted later in the afternoon like I see some of the other classmates doing).

This kind of schedule works a lot better for me and maybe I won't have to cook anything this next week. Not that I mind cooking, since I do like it. But that will leave time for other things.

So all this is working.
