I'm late on this for the week. I had the meal plan done since Tuesday, but sometimes life gets in the way of posting.
It has been a busy week, but a good one. Friday, the little one had two friends sleep over. Three 10 year olds is the most 10 olds I can handle for a sleep over. They sure are active. And one child kept insisting that they watch Scream. Nice try child, but I don't let 10 year olds watch rate R movies at my house. He actually got a little mad, but luckily the attitude changed quick enough. Sorry, but this is not my first rodeo.
They had a nice time. Saturday was a 10-year-old friends birthday party. Sunday was Puppy Kindergarten and our neighborhood Trick or Treat. Because we have teacher conferences tonight, we went to All Saints Day mass last night. And after teacher conferences, there is basketball practice. Whew! It's a lot.
Trick or Treat was nice. We actually got 25 kids this year. Usually, we get 3-6 kids. All of the kids aged up with my older boys. But recently several new young families moved into the neighborhood. It was so nice to see so many little ones.

Last week I shopped at our local discount store Marc's and then at Aldi. Marc's has really good prices, but you get what they have so you can't be brand loyal. This week I'm doing a Walmart pick up because the end of the week is VERY busy, but I made the mistake of looking at the Marc's flyer and many things that I have on my pickup are actually cheaper at Marc's. It's painful, but I just can't add in another store this week. Hopefully I can go back to Marc's next week. I will try and post some of the things that I am saving on.
Last week Marc's had turkeys for 87 cents per pound. They were Butterball or Jenni-O. I got a Jenni-O because I needed a smaller one for frying and that was the smallest one I could find. Aldi had Butterballs for $1.59 per pound. Clearly, Marc's was the better deal.
I also got my Christmas cards ordered. We always do photo cards and this year I used Snapfish. They have a code that will get you 70% off your cards. Use code OCCRD70 to save.
Happy Feast of All Saints!!
