Update: Need to check the date - no clue when Coke might expire - will let you know.
Yes check that date, I was in charge of the coke order at the Forest Preserve and some of our deliveries had a short shelf life. Could be why it was on sale:rolleyes:. Diet is the worse, goes flat if too far from the expiration date. You can usually drink the Coke past the date if not more than 2 months.

I phoned in an order for my mom while I was there and was told 3 weeks for delivery. I repeated what she said and she said yes 3 weeks. If ordering rather than shopping in person earlier may be better.

Amazon is dangerous.
Got another free 30day Prime trial, so thought I may as well use it. Bought the kids two more gifts each, whittling away their Christmas list.
Need to find a way of smuggling them into the house without me being interrogated

Went to bath and body works to use my coupons. Got a couple of fall hand soaps and 2 of the big bottles of hand sanitizer for my son.
Happen to see a bottle of wine at the grocery store from the vineyard my son likes so picked that up for him too.

Added a couple more items to the gift tote yesterday. Bath and body had their hand soaps on sale. So I grabbed 3 fall ones and a couple other ones for the gift tote. Fabric store had a sale on so I was able to grab the fabric/notions for a sewing box gift that I am putting together.

Ran out early yesterday to get a oriel feeder for my husband that I saw when he was with me a couple weeks ago. We had 2 males and a female this spring. my husband had the best time watching them. They get pretty picky feeding so this feeder does fruit, jelly and nectar.

Nice gift MM. We had an oriole feeder in the past. They are such pretty birds.

I did get a few items for either Teigans poster or stocking, gift for sister and a couple prizes for games today.

Ordered three Mophies (phone sanitizer/chargers) at Verizon as they were out of stock so they will ship to the house. Because I bought three, they were considered a bundle (buy two, get one free) so I saved $80.

I think given the circumstances we are doing very well with filling the closet. I still need a few more things especially for DD and DFSIL buit am happy with their lot for now.

Went to the big hardware store and got DFSIL a free standing raised garden bed. That will be his big gift and I will get him a gift card to go with it. I think I am nearly finished with the gifts but just need to look through the planner and double check.

Debbie, DFSIL and DD have a little courtyard townhouse and I thought that they could at least grown a few tomatoes or strawberries.
