Mosquito Pants and Bargains

a person standing posing for the camera: Outsmart those slick skeeters.
Mesh mosquito pants 

I could make these for less than $12. All I need is net or tulle. I think tulle would be better since the holes are smaller. 


Today, I went on a stock up trip to another store. Suddenly Salad is $1 at Walmart. I only got 12 boxes and should have gotten twice that many.  I will forgo bread for two days to have Suddenly Salad. I got ALL laundry detergent bogo and used a coupon, too, at Publix.. 

I found Stove Top Stuffing in a 2-pack for $2.98, not the best price, but better than usual. I only bought one double box. If this is all I get, I am set for the holidays. 

Paper plates, bowls, and cups were regular price but were scarcer than hen's teeth. I now have one more pack of Northern tp--48 rolls--in purple package. 

Thankfully, Elmer's glue was 2/$1, so I have one small bottle. I now have a tiny electric alarm clock with a battery backup. It will go in the bedroom--$10.  I have needed Elmer's glue. 

Miracle Whip was $3.90 in one store, absent in the second, and bogo in Publix. So, I bought two MW at $3.25/each in Publix.  

It was hot out! It is 93F at 3 pm. Now, I must return phone calls.

Could you use mosquito pants? Maybe even a shirt or veil on a hat? I have no idea why this is marketed to men. ???

What bargains have you found?

  1. Not too many bargains for me, but not much shopping, to be honest. Why would any man/person buy these mosquito pants?!!

      I would wear them to keep from being eaten up by mosquitoes.

  2. Interesting pants - thankfully we haven’t seen too many skeeters here.
    I’m stocking up too, between the virus and chaos that might come with the election, I want to be ready.

      Interestingly, I have only seen a few mosquitos. I am quite sure chaos will follow the election..

    1. Chef,
      I hate flies. I remember horse flies from going to my Aunt Willie's farm in Mississippi. I was terrified.

  4. I don't know of many men that would wear those pants. lol. They would rather get bites. I have been finding bargains here and there on grocery and other items we use. I try to do a small stock up on these at least if not more.I have always done this so don't consider it hoarding. Get the things you use at the best price possible. Makes good sense! Take care.

    1. Crystal,
      You may be right about that. lol I just asked Tommy, and he said, "probably not." Then, he said "maybe if I were doing work in your back yard." I plan to keep stocking up a bit at a time and not hoarding, either.
