We're operating on a similar policy, though it's once a month, for one week we eat from the freezer. I've still not found the bottom!
Plans for today (2019-2022)

I love Texas suburbs for that very reason. My brother in Houston (actually Missouri City) has a nice house that is about 2 miles from grocery, retail, and gas stations, just about anything you want or need. You'd never know it when driving around the block where he lives.
That’s how it is with us. I so infrequently fill up, I keep forgetting my loyalty card number for my discount. I used to have that memorized.
I also had all the prompts of the self-serve pump memorized, but now I have to actually read them.

I don't like living close to people. I just about coped when we lived on the edge of a village in the UK. I managed because there was an old converted railway that started at our garden and we were the last property on that lane and it ran directly into countryside. I've always preferred rural. Noise hurts my ears. I'm so glad that CRT TVs no longer exist because they were a massive problem for me.
The down side of Australia is also it's upside, it's size. I just miss not being able to cycle everywhere, but I suspect my health would have prevented that in the UK irrespective of the pandemic. I can cope with the travel. Everything is less than an hour to the north side our the capital. That's fine.

You can scan your Kroger loyalty card at Kroger and Shell gas stations. That's what i do with

I lost that card about 17 years ago.
I like how Sam’s pumps work - just scan your membership QR code from the app and away you go. It charges the card associated with your account.

Son just rang me. Isla got into villa Maria college. She will be so pleased. Its quite close to us so I'm very happy. Our place will get used more often now.
I tried to get my daughter in there 30 odd years ago. It has an excellent record for higher learning.

Going to do a quick audit this afternoon, then going to World Market to put together a gift package of goodies for MIL's birthday. Then stopping by a different store to pick up some D batteries for the motion light by our garage door. After that just going to clean the bathrooms, maybe I will vacuum if I feel motivated enough, LOL.
Lovely as that may be its nothing like any breakfast I've seen served in France (in the country or the town)! The French would never put a croissant on the same plate as the rest of the items. I could go on but hey - you know...
Well excuse me. Funny thing, though -- it tasted good, in spite of it's Mercan flaws.

It was 92F here today while I was out, whew that took a lot out of me. Got MIL some goodies she will like. I was a bit worried about the chocolate melting in the car while I ran into get the batteries, but thankfully they held up, even though my car was hot as Hades when I came back out (I was unable to find a shady parking spot).

Same here. My problem is when I plan to just use everything up in the freezer and/or pantry before buying more, I find a tremendous sale that I just can't pass up, and then I buy a bunch of the meat or whatever shelf stable or freezeable items and load it back up again, LOL!
