This ignores the prep time that goes into meal #2. For someone just getting off a ten hour shift, going through a KFC drive-thru and getting a fully prepared meal is so much more convenient.

I’d rather cook the meal and feed my body right (for a few days, at that) than support animal cruelty and poison myself. 

I’m not sure how buying Tyson chicken does anything to help animals, but I’m glad you have the privilege to be able to make that choice. Not everyone does though.

It’s hard to pass up the dollar menu when you are living in poverty and work full-time and have children to feed on $15. 

UGH AT SANCTIMONIOUS PRIVILEGE DENIERS WHO SAY SHIT LIKE IDEASANDOPINIONS.

LOL $2 FOR A GALLON OF SKIM MILK?

Yeah, maybe in 2001, but it’s TWICE that today. 

Total bullshit. It’s expensive to eat healthy and those that don’t realize how hard it is to do so are ignorant or privileged beyond belief.

Reblogging for the commentary.

I don’t know when or where those figures were taken, but they are NOT from present-day East Texas!

Just off the top of my head…10 pounds of potatoes is $4-$5 if they are on sale. Sometimes, on a really good week, you can get lucky and get 15 pounds for $7. Fresh corn is $2 for 4-5 ears in season. Even frozen, $2 for 8 ears is…no. You might be able to get chicken thighs for that price/weight, but breasts? Rare if ever. The peaches you might find for that price in season, but you’re paying at least double that any other time. And the milk? As already stated it’s at least $4 a gallon.

I buy fresh meat, dairy and produce once a week. Every Monday. I write out a menu every Sunday, each meal based around what’s on sale that week, then I shop for 7 days.* I only have my husband and myself to feed, and we only eat one meal a day, but we STILL spend at least $150 a week. I suppose if I did the math it would probably come out cheaper than one fast food meal a day, but I also have the means to pay for and prepare “real” food. A LOT of people don’t have one of those luxuries let alone both.

* = I more than recognize my privilege, this post was not meant to “brag” about that but rather to point out that if -I- can’t eat 3 “real” meals a day, I’m not sure any couple making less than $100,000 a year can! (And don’t even get me started on families….)

Hey SuperSandy..

Have you SEEN this thing???

I have, thanks to you!!

It’s now in the folder full of links lovingly called “Doctor Who Things I Want NEED To Buy.”

I want this hat very much.

When Jordan asks, “Why this one?” (and he will, because he’s the most analytical person ever when it comes to buying things) I want to have this for reference:

1. The brim size is perfect for my height. Most sun hats are HUGE and short people can’t pull those off…at least this short person can’t.
2. I like the color, the weave, the shape…pretty much everything about the way it looks. And it just so happens matches every outfit I have planned to wear.
3. It’s rated UPF 50+
4. It has a “moisture wicking internal headband.”
5. Both its customer reviews are great; 5 stars on both and the only complaint is size related.
   
6. It’s constructed to be “crushable.” No matter how you pack it, it will always reshape itself.
7. It’s small/casual enough that I’ll be able to wear it when I work in the yard; I won’t be spending money on a hat I’ll only use for a week.
8. The haircut I want/plan to get next Thursday will look adorable under this.
   

I’ll probably have to pay oodles in shipping to get it here by the 28th, but I’m willing to pay to avoid facial lobsterfication.

I signed this awesome Xbox at PAX, and the guy I signed it for is auctioning it for Child’s Play. Check it out, if you’re interested in this sort of thing, because it’s pretty rad.

What is this I see ?? A strapless bra that goes up to a 40DD, LIFTS, SUPPORTS, IS COMFY, AND WAS ONLY $16.99 at Target ??!?!

SORCERY !!!!

Or, not. Maybe it’s just the most amazing bra in the world.

This is the Self Expressions Full Support 4-Way Convertible Strapless Bra and is available at Target stores. If you don’t have a Target near you, it is available online. If you are in the size range available, I urge you to get one in each colour. This is truly the most amazing bra I’ve ever owned. Dig it.

the look on her precious lil’ face made me SCREAM!

love Kyla, and her bubbies!

I recently found a magic bra, too! Al WalMart, of all places.

I got it for under my re-wedding dress but it’s become my every day bra. I LOVE it! Comfortable, sweat-wicking, only $14, and it makes the girls look UH. MAZE. ZING.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Fran!

I talked a teeny bit about how I name/bond with the turkey that chooses me for Thanksgiving, but now she’s here and it’s in full effect.

The highlight of my trip to the grocer was spotting Fran; as soon as I saw her I knew she was mine. I looked through the entire bin of birds anyway, of course, thanks OCPD, but it was always Fran. I’m very excited to have been able to find such a quality bird. I’ve always been stuck with Butterballs in the past; this year it seems my lil’ local store is stepping it up a notch. Vegetarian fed? Animal friendly environment? Yes and yes!

Oh, here are the *s for those who care about this sort of thing.

I learned a valuable lesson this week, too. The “prettier” you look, the more people want to talk to you. I fixed my hair/put on makeup to make myself feel better, not to impress anyone, but apparently it was just enough for me to be this thing called “approachable looking.” Ew. Do not like, do not want. My anxiety is tricky enough on the weeks when not a soul speaks to me, having 15 awkward conversations was a whole ‘nother exhausting experience.

At least I have Fran to vent to about it when I got home. Jordan happened to see me talking to Fran while putting away the other groceries and called it “the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen,” but he’ll be thanking me come Thursday afternoon.
