    I too was a Girl Scout, Brownies (they didn't have Daisy scouts when I was young) through Cadets; then when my daughter was small I was the leader and I did the cookie chair person thing. Being the cookie chair is dangerous!!! Having all those extra cookies sitting in your family room, just begging to be consumed .... yikes. My favorite is and has always been Thin Mints, pop them in the freezer and eat them frozen, so good. The second best is the Caramel Delights. I must say you have excellent taste. LOL

Nonetheless I enjoyed selling cookies. We always set up a table at Bachmann's, a large flower shop near where I lived.
    Im glad to know about cutting that pork . Might have to do it.

    Good morning! I liked the Meijer run, as we are surrounded by Meijer stores. The chicken apple sausages are good. Also, you were asking about tortillas. Not sold in bulk, but Meijer sells plant based tortillas by Mission that we like. Protein is, I think, 8 gm.
    You probably already know this, but Costco has the same “cash back” as Sam’s, but it’s only disbursed once a year. Since I have the Costco credit card, I get a rewards check that has to be used in the store, & an additional check (usually much higher) that I can either cash out or use in the store. That one I usually cash out & it goes into savings.
    Thanks for shopping trips!

    $2.85 a gallon for gas where I live. Girl Scout Cookies it's anything with coconut and or chocolate. We do now have an Aldi but I have not made it there yet. But their prices seem legit. That Hillshire farm sausage I can remember my local Rouse's Supermarket having it on sale a few years ago for $1.99. Oh how things have changed. We do not have a Meijer's. They must just be in the midwest. What is really amazing is my first job in high school everything was so much cheaper. Just that tomato sauce you said was 95 cents was 3 for a $1,00 lol.

    With your onions chop them up and freeze them. Then put in dishes when needed. You won’t waste the onions by them going bad before you need them. I buy the small packages that are already frozen (because I’m lazy😂😂😂😂) so I don’t have to worry about chopping onions.
    I’m old. Gas was $.26 a gallon when I was working my first job after business school. I was 19 😂😂😂😂 we would have a ball running around on the weekends for a couple bucks.
