HI and thanks for another fun video. It felt to me like you were justifying spending money and I wished you hadn't. You work hard and you work a lot with 4 children, job, a husband, a house to take care of! You do a great job! You are not a spendthrift by any means. You deserve to have fun and shopping is part of that as is fun time with friends and buying stuff for the home. Anyway, I'm glad you had fun and I hope you enjoy everything that you purchased. Im now going out to buy some eucalyptus for my shower too.

Aww it is fun to sing solo. I did a few of those when I was little. How beautiful Evonnie sounds. Loved the video. It is frustrating how expensive things are these days. My husband had a flowbee when it came out. I cut my sons' hair for them until they were about 13. They go to a barber now, but my oldest has a job so he pays for his own haircuts. I can't believe how fast time is going by.

Green Dragon has been my go to most Friday mornings since 1952, when my aunt and uncle took me. Of course, we always buy scrapple and everything else. I go to the New Holland Meat stand and buy their stuffed hog maw. They make such good ones. I often make my own, but, they have them already made. We always go to the fish sandwich stand and get a fried oyster sandwich. Yum. No, you don’t save money there, but, everything is delicious and fresh. Fun video.

@elyseblack4513 2 ай бұрын

Yum scrapple! I had it for the first time when we went to PA on vacation last year and have only been able to get RAPA here in NC. Recently, a friend of mine butchered her hogs and I bought some bits from her and made my own scrapple from scratch. My kids love it and I loved getting about 15lbs worth for about $15.

I love how you allow your kids to have sweets sometimes and you don't mind being spontaneous. I think it'll give them healthy approaches to things. I'm very envious. I feel like sometimes parents are too rigid. They're so well behaved, and you definitely guide them and still feed them healthy stuff ha ha. But, I think it's lovely that you also allow them to have fun.

Megan, I soo appreciate your videos! To save time, I’ve been making simple granola : -1 large carton old fashioned oats -1 cup oil of your choice -1 cup honey, maple syrup or mixture of both -2 TBSP vanilla -1 cup coconut -1 cup pecans or nuts of your choice. Mix in electric stand mixer on low, spread on 2 cookie sheets with pam, pressed down slightly so all bakes evenly. Bake in 375 degree oven for 18-20 min…. NO STIRRING NEEDED:) This recipe makes 6 mason jars of yummy granola… I reuse my spaghetti sauce jars with lids and gave them as gifts. -

oh you got scrapple. My husband is from Delaware, and live out here in Seattle. that is the 1 thing he misses the most. You do like my husband does. if you spend the grocery money then you make due ie get from freezer, pantry. you may not have as much fresh stuff you. but's it's for 1 week. As far as how much you spent. that's not bad. with all the things you did. and the kids shoes are a every year thing. We figure your going to need to eat where your at home or camping. I have also taking meat from the freezer out camping. You did good Megan Don't listen to anyone that says any different!!
