I went to the doctor last week after my December 2022 appointment was canceled due to him going on vacation. He sent me to get labs but I forgot that the clinic closes at noon on Fridays. Monday and Tuesday were too darn cold and windy so I settled for Wednesday. The last time I went I had lost four pounds without trying and this time as well...I just hope I have not graduated from Pre-diabetic to full-blown Diabetic. Most of the people I know that are unfortunate enough to have this prevalent disease in the Hispanic community started out with weight loss.
After my labs, I made a beeline for the Post Office. I have so many problems with them and it was either two or three years ago or last year (remember I have CRS) they lost my check and I had to pay twice even though they did finally reimburse me. We have a small P.O. Box and once again the price increased from $166.00 last year to $198.00 for twelve months of service. Nothing I can do about it as we need our mail.
Have been receiving emails from Ollie's to not forget to use the 15 percent coupon they sent me...once again I never received it...our mail service is just terrible! Lucky for me but mainly for them they emailed me a copy of it and I was able to use it on all the things I purchased today.
I did not buy that many things but I did find some good bargains...like beef jerky for $10.99 for a 12 oz. package. You won't find it at that price at HEB or Walmart.
A battery-powered wine opener...
I had seen this Shimmy Scrub in a commercial on Pinterest but NOT for $2.99...
I have this 12-ounce insulated stainless steel cup but in a different color that I use to sip my tea and/or my soups. It was an impulse buy as I am partial to this color. :-D
Last but not least some heavy-duty Wrangler women's socks for $3.99...
In a prior post, I mentioned that I had found a great deal on top-loading pet crates at this store. However, they only had them in blue but I bought them anyway. Today I thought I had lucked out but unfortunately, though I love the color, they were not top-loading crates which is a must if you have ever had a cat and tried to shove them through the front entrance.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

What a great haul! We still don't have a Ollie's here but we have DD's, I have been looking for a new cover for my bed and it needs to be king size because of how tall the mattress is, I finally found one that I liked and it was only $13.99!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how the PO thinks they need to charge so much when the service is so awful. I guess everyone needs to jump on these outrageous price hikes.
I love DDs as well they always have such good prices and you certainly found one on your new bed cover. I also went to DDs and I saw this lady with a cart overflowing with bed covers but that is not unusual as many shoppers from México always buy in bulk...now I know why she had so many!
DeleteI wish there was something I could do about the high P.O.B. prices though I did complain to the mail lady as I thought they had charged me the new fee that is even higher...that is why I paid online right away to keep them from losing my payment once again.
I always just turned my cat crates on end. Could be wobbly, but sure as hell easier than front loading if the cat was not a docile, willing participant. I didn't even know thay had top loaders. Could have used those. But my cat days are over. I do love them though.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, I have always only had ONE feline. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that cats started coming out of the woodwork and deciding to adopt us rather than the other way around.
DeleteI will always be grateful to you for suggesting that I turn the crates on their end to facilitate the unwilling cat's entrance into the kennel.
I never knew they had top-loading crates either until I saw them on walmart.com and promptly ordered one a couple of years back. They are expensive but worth their weight in gold when you have sixteen cats to take to the vet. Ollie's had them cheaper than the one I bought years ago...I LOVE that store!
