I just went cleaned the fridge freezer (fingers still chilly) hoping to make a little room for beef if the prices go down. Our “houseguests” will be moving out the middle of the month so that's a couple more weeks of eating down the freezer so that should be perfect timing to restock things we like.
Speaking of our guests, it's amazing how totally clueless they are. It's no wonder they're in a bind. Name brand everything and stuff that's just plain silly. They go out constantly and are out shopping now but can't seem to contribute to the grocery bill, sigh. I've tried to point out a few alternatives to more frugal purchases but they don't care to listen. Sorry, but my good ol’ southern hospitality is running thin so am counting the days. Looking around, they are in the majority on how they view responsibility and money. Same as our congress, people have to have immediate gratification so spend, spend, spend.
Mine would have run thin after 1 week, like I told my boys growing up, eat what I put on the table or go hungry.
Time to educate clueless guest to the extra cost their extended stay is causing, I’ve gotten old enough I don’t give a D if they ever come back.
You can stop feeding them...just feed yourselves.
When we stay at people’s homes when we get to travel, we take our host out to a nice dinner and are frugal with their resources, and take our own personal grooming items, not depending on our host to provide shampoo or toothpaste. And our dirty clothes home with us.
They could use the local laundry mat.
