Took my car in today for some maintenance--oil change, new wipers, tire rotation, coolant flush, and ended up with new brakes as well. Ouch.
Trip to Aldis yesterday to grab some 1 lb hamburger rolls resulted in a $60 tab. Found lots of things to fill in some holes and to use fresh. Still a lot cheaper than other stores around here.
Went through two old boxes of expired MRE's. They were bought in either 2008 or 2013, can't remember. The oatmeal cookies were still good, as were the crackers. I also kept the drink mixes and the condiment pack that has a spoon. I kept a couple of the sides to check and see if they were okay and will be looking at those in the next week or so. If they are bad, out they go. If they are good, they get eaten. Still have some more boxes to go through. Need the space and there is no use keeping something that wouldn't be eaten in full. Won't buy more MRE's though, have switch to freeze dried.
