May All Your Holiday Meals Be Festive

Waiting on the resting hanger steak, but started up table-loading ahead of time: green beans, mashed potatoes, stuffing (with Impossible sausage), asparagus in sesame ginger marinade, black olives, berry pie from Amazon Fresh, lots of cheeses & baguettes and a wonderful bread pudding made with panettone and a custard sauce.

why yes, I’m lazy & oh, so cheap

I already know how lazy I am, but do you?  Dollar Tree has Hamburger Helper twinpacks in potatoes Stroganoff.  One box ($1.25), 2 pub burgers (what, 99¢?), free milk from a FB Buy Nothing group and Fage sour cream from a Saturday Sampler.  As long as you give them enough soaking time, the potatoes will be good.

Honestly didn’t notice a meat shortage and used only 25% of what the box called for.

only 4 days later, free Covid tests are here

The Federal Government is once again offering free covid testing kits – I used the USPS site & it took about 5 seconds, tops.  You can score four tests per residential address, so if you’re in an apartment or condo, make sure to add the unit number.

12/11 inserts: SmartSource & Save

Two inserts in this week’s paper (12/11):  SmartSource and Save. Not all papers carry the same coupons or have the same values, so this national list might be different from what shows up around Chicago.  P&G has announced that the January insert coming out over New Year’s weekend will be their last – guess they got tired of just printing pretty pictures.

Wesson Oil Class Action Update

Originally posted on August 6, 2019! This is the original post:

“If you resided in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, or Texas and purchased Wesson Oil products in that state for your own personal, non-commercial use, you may be eligible to receive a payment from a class action settlement. The beginning dates vary by state, but all end July 1, 2017. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t have used Wesson oil during the years involved! Click here for more information and to file a claim – no receipts are required unless you claim more than 30 units purchased.”

Update:

A $3 million Settlement Fund will be used to pay Class Member benefits, an attorney expense award, administrative costs, service awards, and any other costs or expenses. Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form may receive $0.15 per unit of Wesson Oil Products purchased during the applicable Class Period, which will be adjusted up or down depending on number of claims filed. $575,000 of the Settlement Fund will be allocated only to New York and Oregon Class Members who submit valid claims. Go to www.WessonOilSettlement.com to learn more.So unless you have receipts for thousands of bottles (probably wasn’t allowed), your share might be 15¢ per unit purchased.  Frankly, I’d much rather have the bottles of oil.
