Is there an item that when you see it on sale you always stock up ?
Yes. Everything. That's how we shop. When it's on sale, we buy enough so that we don't have to buy it again until it's on sale again. Our monthly shopping bill (for two of us - and the cat) is approximately $350 a month ... and yes, I eat well.
If you were invited to join friends at a restaurant that wasn't the kind of food you eat, would you go anyway and hope they have something on the menu that you could eat?
The idea is to enjoy the time with the friends, so I'd go and find something that I would eat.
Ok it has almost been a week since we "sprang forward". Who still has clocks that haven't been changed?
I haven't changed the clock in my car yet. I'll get to it eventually.
Good Morning Karla and everyone - have a great weekend!
Only thing on sale I ever stock up on is dog-related supplies & food, or vases, ribbons, etc. for the business. Can't remember the last time I stocked up on anything for the house or pantry.
I would join my friends for dinner & find something on the menu. Even places dedicated to one kind of food usually have something. IMO, the whole point of it is to "break bread" with those in your life you care about & want to spend time with!
OK it has almost been a week since we "sprang forward" Who still has clocks that haven't been changed ? shhh....you caught me!
Can you Yo Yo ? Have you ever opened an umbrella indoors ? Yes to both! Livin' on the edge, baby!
Is there an item that when you see it on sale you always stock up ? not really
Bonus Question:
If you were invited to join friends at a restaurant that wasn't the kind of food you eat, would you : yes but I'd eat at home first..

my friends know the type of restaurants that I eat at or don't eat at, so they would never ask me to go some place that I don't like, and I'm the same with them (even though we don't go out that much)
Extra Credit Question:
Ok it has almost been a week since we "sprang forward"

Today's Question(s):
Is there an item that when you see it on sale you always stock up ?
Diet pepsi I go through a lot of it
When I was at Walmart the other day the 2 liters were on sale for $1 !! Reg price $1.69 I bought 10 I am going to go back and get more this weekend
Bonus Question:
If you were invited to join friends at a restaurant that wasn't the kind of food you eat, would you :
This is happening tonight, a few days ago hubby asked about going they are al meeting at a New Orleans style restaurant. This style of food is not on my "selective eaters list" lol when I spent 4 days in NO I had real issues
I decided to be pro-active and called the restaurant to see if they had any non-spicy food
looks like I may be ok with a burger or grilled chicken
I can always just have dessert
The only time I would not consider going is if there was absolutely nothing I could eat because the "why don't you just try this or that" just wears me out.
Luckily most of our friends are aware of my PITA eating habits lol
I do usually eat before going to a buffet type house party though
Extra Credit Question:

I need to live more dangerously
Is there an item that when you see it on sale you always stock up ? No, not any certain item, but anything that we may use and it is a good sale I will stock up!
If you were invited to join friends at a restaurant that wasn't the kind of food you eat, would you : Go anyway and hope they have something on the menu that you could eat ? Eat before you go and just have dessert ? Say thank you but you have other plans? I would go.... it always seems no matter where you go.... There seems to be a good old American Hamburger on the menu!!
Ok it has almost been a week since we "sprang forward" Who still has clocks that haven't been changed ? Realize yesterday the one in the kitchen on the wall I forgot ..... Did the stove & microwave, but skipped the one on the wall!!! Go figure !! Those senior moments are becoming more frequent!!!
Just for Fun:
Can you YoYo ? Yes Have you ever opened an umbrella indoors ? Yes
Good morning everyone and I'm also glad this busy week has come to an end. Even though we were busy with fun stuff, after a while you want some down time.
Like having filet Mignon every night, then you just want a hamburger.
Is there an item that when you see it on sale you always stock up ? This is sometimes. I really dont' have the room for stocking. But I do buy the large toilet paper and paper towels.
Bonus Question:
If you were invited to join friends at a restaurant that wasn't the kind of food you eat, would you : Go anyway and hope they have something on the menu that you could eat ? I would go anyway. You can always find something you like. The important thing is spending time with friends.
Ok it has almost been a week since we "sprang forward" Who still has clocks that haven't been changed ?
All ours are changes but I"m still off kilter. Just for Fun:

Yes I have
Today is:
Coconut Torte Day Yuck.........Not a coconut person. blah.
National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day you want me to try this on friday 13th???
Good Samaritan Day always a good day
Ear Muff Day[/quote] Not cold enough for ear muffs today. I used to wear them all the time. had bunny fur earmuffs. Of course I wouldn't wear them today. poor little bunnies.
Is there an item that when you see it on sale you always stock up ?
Not always on any item....but I will buy and freeze a good buy on meats....and if there is a non perishable food item on sale that I use.....I might buy some extra.
Bonus Question:
If you were invited to join friends at a restaurant that wasn't the kind of food you eat, what would you do: In the past I was a vegan....so I was often in that situation.....sometimes I would decline (for example if everyone were going to enjoy a crab boil....I didnt want to sit and watch while the animals were dismembered and eaten and listen to the group focus and discuss the event....so I declined. I am no longer vegan....but would decline going to a Pig Roast....because I find the images unpleasant......But other than those two.....even when I was a vegetarian I would go and find something on the menu I could eat. Extra Credit Question:
Ok it has almost been a week since we "sprang forward" Who still has clocks that haven't been changed ?
The car clock is still wrong....sometimes I put it off until it is right again....otherwise I need to get out the owners manual.....(we have had this car for 5 years.)
Just for Fun:
Can you YoYo ? Not well, but up and down ..... yes. Have you ever opened an umbrella indoors ? I try to avoid it....but yes I have.
Today is:
Coconut Torte Day
