Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen ways the economy has effected our kitchen

1. "We're out of Ketchup!", Run out to the car there's some in the glove box. "Ewe, Yuck!...it's coming out brown , that's Gross! Is this gonna make us sick? I'm not eating that!" (How long has it been since we went to McDonald's?)... "Honey does Ketchup go bad?!"
2."Where's the paper towels, are we out?" ...."No, There's some in the bathroom we're out of toilet paper!"
3. ( Is there not a freaking grocery store that doesn't carry cheap plastic bags? All these have holes in them! Don't they know I need them for trash bags? I mean really it's going to take three just to be strong enough to hold anything.)
4."It smells like the toast is burning!" ... ( Dang it, I'll just have to scrape it off with a knife, because that was the last of the bread.)
5."You bought us little Debbie's ?!!!", "Wow!...Your the best mom ever thank you, thank you, thank you!" (And we just thought this wasn't effecting them.)
6. "I'll cook them on the grill and I promise you'll never taste the freezer burn."
7. "What are toasty O's?...Mom!, I told you I wanted Cheerios!, The prize on the front isn't even in the box!"
8. "I thought you went grocery shopping?".....( I did! and that was all I could get. )
9. "Don't eat any more and we can have this again tomorrow!"
10. Half of my kitchen has been dark for a while now, because we ran out of light bulbs and we'd rather eat than see.
11. "Jason, can you believe the stupid chicken decided to set on her eggs! And I saw where eggs hit $3 a dozen yesterday!...Yeah don't worry my mom chased her off !"
12. Whining "Not spaghetti again!" (I admit that was me)
13. We're Out of Milk..."We're All gonna Die!!"

  7. This sounds too familiar. Where in the world are the stimulus checks? I know they are just waiting to send mine until all of my cupboards are bare and the bills are unpaid. Then when I do finally get it, some emergency will pop up that will eat it all. Augghhh.

  14. This was pretty doggone funny. You're more frugal than we are! If we're in a money crunch, we thin "eating what we want, or line of credit....hmmm....line of credit"
