$1 for lunch

Yep, I'm on a budget.  But I don't want Ramen Noodles,  you know those noodles comes in square packs and you can purchase them as low as 5 for $1.00  Even though I am on a budget I think I can afford to splurge up on my lunch noodle.  So I bought this Bowl Noodles by Rich & Savory for $1 each.  It tells you to microwave after putting some hot water on it.  But I don't.  I just add boiling hot water and let it stand for couple of minutes or more.  And it totally beats Ramen Noodles.  or Maruchan cup noodles.

4 Wheel Deluxe Folding Shopping Cart from Walmart.

This is another item from my Wish List that I just recently purchased and for the first time, I used.  It's a personal shopping cart.  For people who don't have a car, like me, shopping can be a bit of a hassle.  Specially if you don't want to pay for expensive taxi or a cab.  And I drink water and plenty of it.  And since I don't have a filter just yet, I tend to buy gallons of water several times a week.  And boy, me carrying, gallons of water have taken a toll on me.  Until now.  I purchased this from Walmart.com with free shipping for $23.00 and that included tax.  And it says large personal shopping cart.  And they mean LARGE.  Here's the LINK. and photos below. 

I stuffed it with 3 pillows so you can get an idea of the size of this shopping cart.  It's a bit big for me.  The handle as you can see is as high as my waist or higher.  And I don't buy grocery in large quantity, unless I'm getting some bathroom tissue,  gallon of water, bleach, laundry detergent, you know heavy bulky stuff, this will be perfect.

4 wheel deluxe folding shopping cart.  Yes, it folds flat for easy storage. I wish I had this when I had to go to the laundry mat.  Thank goodness I have a washing machine now.
This is my cart with the stuff in it.  I placed it next to the furnace so you can see the size.  

I saw an elderly woman pulling one of these cart downtown few years back and I always wanted one and thought it would be nice to have.  But the store downtown were selling it for $39.99 and I thought that was a big pricey. I saw it on walmart.com and it was only for $23.00  I like it so much that I want to buy a smaller one to tote my laptop bag, umbrella, and purse when going to the cafe or taking the bus.

Dogs Gone Wild

Because of the heat index here in Georgia, I've been taking my two pitbull puppies later and later on in the evening.  As a matter of fact, we just came from our usual walk.  Which is walking from one corner to the the other corner of our street.  I just recently figured out how to walk two dogs.  and I don't even know if I'm doing it right.  Anyway, they went viral when the encountered a blue pit bull puppy today.  The Blue Pit was just so quite, I don't remember it barking at my puppies who apparently went berserk upon seeing another one of their kind.  I really thought Roxy was going to brake her neck, she was trying so hard to go after the Blue Pit.  the owner of the other dog, was just so cool at the whole episode, while I was panicking like crazy.  I didn't know whether I could keep control of my dogs gone wild.

I was on the phone when I saw the other dog and its owner on its way.  I immediately told Lady T, that I would call her back.  I really just wanted to keep Toot away from the other dog because of her mange.  But the owner just literally just stood there and let her dog tried to get acquainted.  I had to squat in front of my puppies to stop from pulling their leash.  I was afraid I was hurting them and they will feel this pain later on.  Roxy voice got horse from barking sooo loud and sooo much. 


Well atleast the ordeal has passed and my puppies are just laying on my bedroom floor right now.  I guest they are also tired from this experience.  I really have to teach them how to walk with me without going viral when they see other dogs.
