I spent $157 this week - not too bad.

That sounds kinda fun Gert. I sometimes think I'd like to just start over with my pantry. But really by now I have used up most of my random stray things (those things I look at and think "why did I ever buy that?").

That's funny Gert, you obviously didn't think she would  ;D  Glad the dog and house were cared for though.

She is a lovely gal. I paid her as well. I had a clue because when she saw the AF and I gave her the instructions her eyes lit up. She loves her food!

It's worth it to have someone look after the house and pets well.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
