End of the month. So time to tally the expenses for February and what we spent.
Still saw groceries were high although we did save $115 over last month's.
Next time we come here I need to bring a printer to print more coupons online. I did pick up Sunday's papers when here but would have liked to used more, and the online ones are definitely there.. but I need to print them ! AND we need to bring more dry goods from home, that don't have the added expense of the US $$ on them for us.
Groceries: $464 USD
Take out: $56 USD
Laundry: $20.25 USD ( I do smaller things in the RV and hang outside on our line)
Gas for the SUV : $95 USD
Propane for the RV : $65 USD
Gas for RV: $62 USD
We did not include the gas we spent on our week long trip to San Diego though, or the doggy day care there and camping fee.
February Expenses While in Arizona

Review: nuknuuk Women's Slippers
Sunday, February 28, 2016
I may be out in the desert but I love wearing slippers ALL times of the year. My feet are always cold! I actually have Raynauds as well and have been able to manage it and look after my toes by keeping my feet warm. So this means I need warm slippers to wear year- round.
So when I saw the Nuknuuk sheepskin slippers online and their fuzzy insides, I knew these would be awesome slippers to review. (I also liked the fact that there was FREE SHIPPING on all orders- my readers would love that too I was sure).
The Joy slipper I reviewed has an outer suede exterior as well as sheepskin lining and trim, making it totally soft and cozy! I really do love these slippers. They are awesome slippers from inside-out!
Arizona Desert is Blooming
Friday, February 26, 2016
Been getting warmer out these last few weeks and the desert has been blooming and getting more green. Even noticing more lizards scurrying around, bunnies, etc. Luckily have not seen scorpions or snakes!

Thinking of Moving to Australia?
Thursday, February 25, 2016
Have you been thinking of moving to Australia? Well it is a great place to live. The outdoor life, the sporty life, the sunshine, the sand and the beaches. Making that decision is very exciting.
Once you're on the ground in Australia, take some time to work out where you'd like to live. One of the best ways to do this is to take a stroll around the neighborhoods that you think you might want to live in. While looking, some things you might want to consider include:
● Access to public transport
● Local schools
● Employment prospects
● Distance from shops and work
● Reputation of the area
Sydney is one place you may consider moving to. The city holds the largest population in Australia and was voted as one of the top 10 most liveable cities in the world. With famous landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, Sydney is a popular place to buy property. Another thing you may want to think about when moving is to look at some display homes in Sydney.
There is a variety of locations to live in Sydney. And you can find ones with good amenities and access to public transport. Each location can accommodate and suit many different lifestyles and budgets. Many choose the suburbs.
The suburban lifestyle is not for everyone, but has its own unique advantages compared to living downtown or out in the country. If you are on the fence about where to take up residence, you should consider some of the particular benefits a suburban lifestyle offers.
Some reasons to choose a place to live could be having better schools in the area. Peacefulness might be something you are looking for. And that is why many move to the suburbs. Sydney has many suburbs where you can view the city but enjoy what a suburban home has to offer. Someone traveling to Australia may like to visit the suburbs because there is also less crowds. The beaches and parks may be less crowded. There is also cheaper shopping. They also have nice commercial centres, cultural fairs, and a lot of other gems in the area.

Two Great Snack Announcements! Watch for Them In Stores!
Thursday, February 18, 2016
Last fall, Ruffles All Dressed chips took us by storm. Fanatics stocked up for a long cold winter without the salty, savory and sweet deliciousness they had come to know and love. Americans have asked and the Ruffles brand listened! This month, they’ve brought back the beloved flavor for good.
Ruffles All Dressed combines distinct flavors including paprika, potato, salt and vegetable oil to create this beloved flavor of the north. These chips bring a whole new meaning to “All Dressed” and celebrate the fact that Ruffles Gives You More great taste. Ruffles All Dressed chips are now available nationwide in two sizes — a 2.6-oz. bag for a suggested retail price of $1.49 and a 8.5-oz bag for a suggested retail price of $4.29.
This season, Ruffles also kicked off its NBA partnership as the official chip of the NBA and is getting in the game with content partner Dude Perfect to create engaging basketball-related video content. The Ruffles brand partnered with the trick shot masters to create an all-new video for Ruffles All Dressed which can be found on the Ruffles Facebook page.
Snacking Healthier in 2016
With the incoming of a New Year, many people set resolutions.
One common New Year’s resolution is to start eating healthier. Snacks are
something a lot of people enjoy. But if
you want to eat healthy, then the snacks you consume are important. Some snacks
are high in fat, sugar and calories. That is why it is important to start
thinking about some healthier snack alternatives.
To find some healthy snacks, you should start looking at the
ingredients. Try to find ones with natural or organic ingredients. It is also
helpful to look at the fat content and the percentage of sodium or sugars in a
snack. And to ultimately choose ones with healthier ingredients in them. Snacks like:
Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar-
During the holiday season, we all over indulged on those not-so-great-for-you snacks and everyone is now spending the beginning of 2016 looking for a way to bounce back, get fit and eat better, without sacrificing taste. This year, snack on a treat that's not only delicious, but also guilt-free.
Pirate’s Booty offers a healthy alternative to passing out chips and fried finger foods, and it’s still a treat for the adults and kids but without the added sugar or fat! Snack options are typically not-so-great for you, so incorporating a snack that’s a step up from a standard greasy potato chip is a great way to start.
Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar:
• Baked Rice & Corn Puff
• No Artificial Colors, Flavors or Preservatives
• Gluten-Free
• 0g Trans Fat Per Serving
Nature Valley Oats `n Honey Granola Bars -
“Nature Valley Oats `n Honey Granola Bars combine real honey and rolled oats, to produce a sweet, wholesome snack. Packed in two-bar pouches, Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars offer a crunchy snack you can take anywhere with 16g of whole grain per serving. The bars are full of classic crunch and whole grain goodness, providing energy to help keep you going. After listening to consumers, Nature Valley made some tweaks to the recipe to enhance the bars and making them easier to bite! Same taste. Same crunchy deliciousness. Same whole grains. Just easier to bite into.”

Want To Burn An Extra 278 Calories A Day?
Wednesday, February 17, 2016
Burn 278 more calories a day with Ultimate ThermoFit!
If you're looking to melt off the pounds, then it's time to crank up the heat on your weight loss plan (literally) with Ultimate ThermoFit from It Works.
This exclusive dietary supplement from It Works uses a revolutionary ingredient made from red hot peppers called Capsimax® to elevate your body's ability to burn more calories and control cravings.
Perhaps the most astounding statistic about this special ingredient—which can only be found in a handful of exclusive products throughout the world—is its calorie burning power.
Of course, exercise and a healthy diet are great ways to shape up and slim down. But most days, we're too tired, too busy, or just plain don't make our workouts a priority. Taking Ultimate ThermoFit up to three times a day can help offset your lack of workouts by helping you burn extra calories every day! How simple is that?
Want to really amp up your weight loss results? Imagine if you hit the gym plus used Ultimate ThermoFit to burn bonus calories...
Are There Any Side Effects?
Hot peppers are, well—spicy! And many formulations with other types of hot pepper blends than Capsimax® can cause upset stomach and uncomfortable digestion.
Fortunately, Ultimate ThermoFit is different. It uses a breakthrough micro-encapsulation technology to harness all the thermogenic, calorie-burning power of hot peppers, without oral or gastic irritation. We also added acai berry to the Ultimate ThermoFit, giving you anti-inflammatory, rejuvenating, and energizing benefits in each tablet.

The fan favorite treat is back with an extra special twist, just in time for that special day. Stix, made from dozens of thin layers of Cinnabon signature dough, twisted and rolled in the famous Cinnabon Makara® cinnamon and sugar, then baked to crisp perfection and now drizzled with Ghirardelli Chocolate, are the perfectly sweet gift for that someone special.

Review: New Wash'N Go Singles- Designed to Lighten America's Laundry Basket
Sunday, February 14, 2016
Even though we've been living out in the desert in our RV all winter, we still need to wash clothes.
I'll hand wash the smaller things in a pail in the washroom to hang outside, but for blankets and bigger things like jeans and towels, we make a trip once a week to the laundromat in town, to do 1-2 loads of laundry.
When packing everything up, it's easier to have as light a load as possible. Most laundry soap containers are a little bulky. Laundry pods like Wash 'N Go make it easier and lighten the load. They also are easy to use. You simply just toss them into the wash drum, place the clothes in and start the machine. Everything already pre-measured for you. Simple.
My clothes came out surprisingly clean, for using such a small pod of soap. I must say I was surprised! However, each pod IS concentrated 7X.
Wash n Go comes in Fresh Scent and Free & Clear. Give them a try. Available in US only.
Even the Little Things Can Make a Difference
This light on the wall was originally GOLD then we spray painted it to white, and still wasn't doing anything for me. Just didn't seem to belong, so took the light down, and bought a $5 picture today. I think you'll agree- much better!

The weather was wonderful too when we went- in the upper 80`s, so we sat on the top deck, enjoyed the sun, the breeze, the narrated tour and awesome views.

Note as well that they also run dining cruises, whale watching tours, have private charters, do the Coronado Ferry runs and can take you for a thrilling jet boat harbor tour on their Patriot Jet Boat.
