He Makes Me Laugh and New Normal

 This morning I saw Tommy put a mustard and a catsup bottle on his walker seat. Then, he headed to the kitchen. Later, I saw the catsup bottle in the bag under his walker seat. I asked him why. He said, "It's my catsup." I asked again. He said he got it out and took it to the kitchen to put on a hotdog, and now he was putting it up. He pointed to an area beside his chair.  I was laughing on the inside, but I said, "Oh." 

He uses the cheapest mustard ever. Same with catsup. I don't, but I rarely ever use either. But, I store both in the refrigerator, not beside my chair. 

Since store ads are not delivered to the door, I have to use the internet. Looking at grocery ads should be done with a paper ad. Period. Sometimes, the pictures and words are too small to read. I know how to make it all larger and readable. But, I hate it. I hate all the clicking to see the next page. So, we have a new normal for ads. We drive to the store, pick them up on Wednesday. Then, we go home and read and mark and make a list. Oftentimes, I do carry the ad back with me as I shop. 

So, we did the ads pickup on Wednesday. The best sale was the Kraft Chunk Cheddar at the Pig. The list is made. Publix and the Pig are close. There is another store I do like, but I have to be able to walk into the store to get a cart, and I cannot drive it to the car. It is a pain, but I will go in there for a good cherry picking. 

Wednesday, Tommy went in and bought what we wanted, got the free item, Kraft Dressing. We arrived at the store where I told him he would have to use my phone for the ad to be valid. Well, I forgot my purse at home! He said we would just go home and get it. Usually, he would be annoyed, but he wanted to good price on Pepsi, so he went into the house and retrieved my purse. I turned it on and handed him the phone before he went inside, telling him to just hand it to the cashier, and if they insisted he find it, to tell them he did not know how. Well, that is the truth. 

He came out and it all worked for him. I felt too awful to go inside myself. For two days, I am always on the verge of throwing up, so will not take the chance of going inside. Besides, I am weak otherwise. Consequently, I eat little and can tell I am losing weight. Zofran is on the way. 

He not only chopped and cooked the ground beef, he drained it immediately like I told him I do. And, he disposed of the grease in a cereal liner bag with paper in it. He learns well, especially since he spent almost two thousand dollars getting the lines unclogged twice last year. We are having spaghetti and salad tonight. 

Do you store catsup/ketchup and mustard inside the refrigerator, on the shelf or beside your chair? lol

Do you prefer paper ads or digital?

Did I get this correct?

 This is supposed to be on Practical Parsimony. So, is it showing up on moreparsimony? thi
