On Sunday I got a load of clearance rack meat, which is great since I was down to one last frozen chicken bought at $.69 per pound.  I have been eating out of my pantry, sometimes that makes for unusual meals, but I now love my invention of Greek Tostadas with feta cheese, olives, onions and refried beans!

I got two packages of marinated chicken breasts for $1.49 each.

Three stuffed beef roundule for $1.32 each.

2 packages stuffed turkey breast for $2.34

Meatloaf mix $2.00

2 Packages of Hamburger $1.37

Pork steaks $1.29

I also went down the Eastern Market in Detroit to buy vegetables, but didn't get anything good there as it was a flower weekend and most of the vendors I go to were not there.  I did get a great scoop of cherries for $.75, they didn't even make it home!

I found a house that I can afford!  The neighborhood is still pretty good, well taken care.  The house was built in 1944 and hasn't had much done to it since then other than upkeep. 

My rich bosses (in real estate) have given me ideas on how to bid for it (they are all in favor of low balling the offer).  So I am trying their advice. 

I'm getting excited.  It seems everything is lining up for me.  If they don't accept my lowball offer I'll still be on the radar if they don't get a bite all summer long.

Oh the warranty on my Kia ran out and something that makes the heat/air-conditioning come out quit working! 

That means it will cost $95 to even look at the thing!  They tried selling me repairs that I might need before they even looked at the car! 

I'm going to take advice I read everywhere, next time I won't buy a brand new car, but I'm going to buy a new used car somewhere.  Hopefully I won't have to for a while.

The database went down at work so I got to leave early yesterday and come in late today. 

Yesterday I went home and took a nap!  I went to my friends house for about an hour then did all my normal Monday after work things.

This morning I started to leave and my boss called and told me to wait until noon.  So I spent all morning at the closest beach to my house.  Metro Beach.  I left and then washed my car and vacummed it out.  What fun on a beautiful Michigan spring day!

I'm so excited.  I didn't think that I would be able to get a mortgage because of my credit, turns out my credit was way better than I thought and I got a pre-qualified for a mortgage. 

Now is the fun part, finding a house that is within my means in a neighborhood I won't be afraid of - lol!. 

This is so exciting!  I'm going to have a blast looking for houses!
