I don’t have 16 in the house, thank goodness. Nearly all are still feral cats. I have two of the six kittens from the last litter and my daughter next door has the other 4. We have many out buildings, pole barn, wood shed, toolshed and garages so we save all old blankets and comforters for bedding for the ferals and feed them out there. The kittens will stay inside until they are old enough to be neutered. FFF (friends of feral felines) has assured us that if they are all neutered, eventually all will die of old age.
DelaWhere, so glad to hear of the good cholesterol results. Never did believe that warning about 2-3 eggs a WEEK. Daughters dog is a fussy eater (all our animals are as they know we will cater to their whims) but likes scrambled egg, so he gets 2-3 every day along with whatever else I can convince him to eat. No lowly dog food for him, lol. Right on, as to the butternuts. I always save the seeds from the biggest and best formed of my tomatoes and squash and I will be planting butternut next spring. I am also furnishing the squash for Thanksgiving dinner.
Does anyone else find things on sale at a good price this holiday season? I can’t believe some of the buys after the sharp increases we have experienced in the past months. We have turkey at 39 and 40 cents a pound in several stores, coffee at 4.99 for large cans, chicken broth at 45 cents a can. Campbells creamed soups at 58 cents, cranberry sauce at 68 cents and many other good buys. I have been stocking up until my pantry is bulging and hubby, who stores away the groceries and does most of the cooking is hollering “enough, already.”

Absolutely! Visited WallyMart Friday - Turkeys @ .40 - was totally amazed that they have ‘Great Value’ brand products showing up on every aisle - a lot of them! Lots more items in larger packaging too. Even #10 cans of powdered milk - (although it is not with regular powdered milk, but with the other Goya brand specialty items - and almost half the price found elsewhere). Even in the bacon, bigger packages and their ‘Great Value’ brand... I think they are viewing the future and know they will have to meet the needs of the shopping public. Oh, and they had a HUGE (6’ high and about 12’ long) display of sliced white bread - $.49 for a large loaf!!! (still prefer my own though)
That is so sweet of you to provide them with blankies. I rather figured they weren’t inside - that would create a lot of chaos! I like all your outbuldings. That’s what we want someday -a tiny house with tons of outbuildings. That I don’t have to clean ;)
We are also seeing those prices you mentioned here. 50 cents a can for Campbells creamed soups at Target and turkeys between 28 and 37 cents a pound (if you buy $25 worth of stuff total). I sure wish hubby liked turkey - I’d get out the ol’ pressure canner and keep a bunch on hand.
