A calulator can save you money, when you shop!

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

We have experienced a really nice Saturday! We were up and out early, doing our banking, followed by purchasing the 'winning lotto ticket' (You have a chance to win, if you have a ticket!), and then our Costco shopping. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we had recently received a Costco Rebate Coupon; and that was a nice PR marketing touch from them. We feel today's Costco supplies will sustain us for most of next month.

With all the financial woes around the world, we are doing our daily best to remain upbeat and maintain a 'holding' mode. We took our calculator (One of those large ones, perhaps you have one! LOL! However, they work, and are much nicer on the tid eyes!) with us and it was a very beneficial guide for our outlay of expenses. We will do that from now on; because it is so easy to spend at wonderful Costco! We enjoyed perusing and carefully choosing our thrifty 'vittles'. We are joyful that 1) there is sufficient food in the larder, fridge, and freezer; and 2) a variety of 'creations' to 'stretch' into multiple meals. Besides, you end up being all the more appreciative of your Blessings!

Alan read in the morning paper that the economic climate should stabilize within the latter half of 2009; we are also hopeful of that occurence. Methinks that tidbitz type of news (POSITIVE GOOD news!) is the contagious message we want to encourage and spread throughout the world! For those of you, who may be feeling a bittidz 'down' etc, please feel free to refer to my February 26th post, 'Be Still'; it may help a bit.

Tidbit - Regardless of your circumstances, you still need to eat; otherwise you are of no use to yourself and / or to others. Therefore, set aside enough resources (even if meagre) for your food needs first. Place your TRUST in HIM, and He Will Help you through your struggles; and so forth. 'He IS the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIGHT'.

Bittid - He wants us to be joyful, and thankfully enjoying each day! Leave it ALL to Him!

Am going to go and finish the rest of the 'housework', I was eluding to yesterday! LOL! Love the vivid and healthy photo image, that I have enjoyed portraying in some of my earlier posts. Methinks of warm seasons and fresh produce! The wonderful thing with soups is, you can enjoy them hot or cold, with a tid dab of sour cream and / or herb seasonings; whatever pleases your bit palate! Mmmmmm!

Here is wishing you a peaceful and joyful weekend! Bon Appetit!

Peace and God Bless.
