How To Prepare For A Hurricane





This is what I ran out and picked up at Target and CVS and the dollar store yesterday in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy.

Half and half for my coffee.
Diet Coke. (2L on sale for $0.88 this week)
Candles.  ($1 from Dollar General)
Applesauce squeezy thingies.  Just in case.  Plus, I love them.  Great to toss in a bag for a snack on the go.

Notice that my haul does not include batteries.  I searched high and low for D batteries to use in an old boom box in case of power outage.  But it seems that everyone else beat me to the punch.  Which makes sense as I went on this big search around 2 in the afternoon.

Bottom line.  I was happy as a clam.  I had a chicken in the crockpot and a big glass of wine and all my necessities at the ready.  Just in case.

How did you prepare for Hurricane Sandy?  And did your area have much damage?  I hope not!

Finish Freebie






Did you sign up for the free Finish dishwasher tabs that I posted about yesterday?  This is what came the last time I requested one. 

Is it me or does the packaging that surrounds freebies amaze you too?  Sometimes they spend three times as much on the packaging than the free product inside.

Ball Canning Jars At A Crazy Great Price





Do you can?  I do.  Not much.  A few preserves.  To use mostly as gifts.  Salsa.  Which I give sparingly as gifts because I hoard it for myself.  And sometimes something quirky like pickled watermelon rind or banana pineapple jam.

But jars are awesome for a million other uses.  Like vases or storage or casual water glasses and the list goes on.  Check out Pinterest for awesome ideas.

Plus, jars last forever.  Seriously, they are a lifetime purchase.  You just need to buy new tops if you plan to can with them. 

Right now, Lowes has them on a crazy, super awesome sale.  Prices and availability vary by region.  Because the best deal is to ship them for free to the store.  So you are limited to what your store has available. 

But at these prices, I am absolutely stocking up for next summer's canning. 


FREE Lindt Chocolate....Hurry!





Crazy fact about me: I don't really love chocolate.  But I once in a blue moon I do actually like Lindt chocolate balls.  They are just special. 

If you act fast, you can snag yourself Lindt chocolates for FREE.  Hurry though, I know this offer will go very quickly.
