Went To A Yard Sale...

Had to go to Dollar Tree early this morning and seen a yard sale. I just had to stop. Glad that I did. Found these 2 oil lamps and got them for $2.00!! What a deal that was. I love how they can be hung. Will really come in handy. Now I really need to stock up on lamp oil since I have so many oil lamps. Trying to find the lowest price on it. I know Family Dollar has big jugs of lamp oil for 4.00 a bottle. Not sure if that is the lowest price I can get or not. Anyone know where to get it cheap??

Hiding Things In Plain Sight

Our house is way too small. I have had to come up with different ways to "hide" things around it. One of the ways is to use trunks! I have an antique trunk that is out coffee table and it is full of food storage and stuff. I also have wicker trunks that are stuffed full. Trunk at the end of the bed that is stuffed. Just trying to come up with ways to put more things in this house is a full-time job. Our shed is full. The closets are full. Under the beds. LOL I have rubber made totes that I just throw fabric over to hide them as our night stands. When you have a small house - you have to come up with ways to store items that does not have them out in the open. So I hide it all in plain sight.

Homemade Whipped Cream

Oh boy! I guess I made the worst mistake on Saturday that I could have ever made. At least that is what my husband told me. I FORGOT TO GET WHIPPED CREAM TO GO ON THE STRAWBERRIES THAT I BOUGHT! WOW! I just forgot. I let it slip my mind because I really do not like whipped cream on anything. Well, our son had the car and was out of town so we had to come up with something. Hubby was crying like a baby. So I had to get into my food storage and make some whipped cream. The photo is when it was about halfway done.

It worked great.

Keystone Canned Meat - Finally Got Some...

To Try!! And I have to say that it is not too bad. I really liked it a lot. I got 4 big cans for $6.48 a can at Walmart and each has 9 servings. 2 canned Keystone Ground Beef and 2 canned chicken. I also got a smaller can of the chicken to try out. We just opened the can, I drained the chicken stock into a freezer bowl to save for soup sometime, and added BBQ sauce and we had sandwiches. YUMMY!! I will be buying more of this. You can do so much with this canned meat. Make soups, casseroles, etc. Possibilities are endless. Great way to add to your food storage and give you something good to eat.
