I dug deep into our secondary pantry and found (8) eight full unopened boxes of Ritz bits crackers from 2021 & 2022. From the pandemic lock-in days. We never did get so bad as to need to eat them anyway. That was when you could buy four boxes for $8.00 CND. Can’t do that now. The oil and cheese had gone off, because of course they had. But, on the plus side I can now see all the way to the back of our lower cabinets in that section of the kitchen. I reorganized a few things while I was at it. Sad to see so much food go to waste, but it’s inedible, and thus not donation worthy. I think even the squirrels and raccoons would give it a miss.
So that’s the fridge, pantry, and secondary pantry sorted. I took yesterday’s garbage take away to finally throw away some busted/broken water bottles, themed cups, and various opened and messy kinetic sand bags. Plus very old halloween goody bags, and some Wendy’s toys. It wasn’t a lot, but I made the most of it while the family was out & occupied elsewhere. That is Covert Purge Ops 101. And no, I don’t feel bad. Nothing I tossed has been looked at, asked for, utilized, or thought of since it entered the house and got “stored” way up high where nobody ever looks for things – ever. So on that note, we’re golden.
We have a meet & greet with a potential new rescue pet today. The wee man is located in Barrie so rather than do all that driving for a site visit, the foster people will get a virtual tour via WhatsApp. So I’m told. Hopefully it all works out for what is best.
Happy Wednesday everybody.
