Bread and milk.

 Hair Cut
Soap
Shampoo
Shaving Cream
Razors

Cereal
Comic Book
Bread.
Assorted Fresh Vegetables pretty much whatever is on sale.
What ever seasonal Fruit is on sale.

Jumbo stock pot
8 liters of water
the usual ingredients for a batch of vegetarian chili sauce
that can be poured over rice or noodles when reheated
5 pounds of tomatoes on the vine cut in to 1/4 and then put in the blender & use the pulse setting
1 lb of Onions diced
1 lb of carrots Julian cut or grated on thick cut.
1 lb of celery diced into thumb nail sized pieces
2 cans of tomato paste to add extra oomph
2 cans beef stock and 4 table spoons of beef bullion
2 cups of dried lentils  no need to presoak they will cook down very soft in the stock pot as it simmers. but do spread them out over a large white cloth and look through them for seeds small stones twigs or other foreign material  and of course poorly colored lentils that do not look like they were split well.that may need to be removed prior to adding to your stock.
3 cups worth of kidney beans. soaked in Brine for 48 hours
4 cups of pot barley soaked in brine for 48 hours

by presoaking the dried barely and the beans will really shorten the stove top time for simmering bringing it down from 6 hours to 3 stir often. I like to use a medium low heat till the pot starts to rolling boil then I drop it down to a low heat where upon I cover it and let it simmer giving it a good stirring every 15 minutes to get everything moving around .. I learned this form a former room mate Thanks Harold wherever you are now man this simple sauce/stew/soup. has provided many many cheap meals.

once you are done simmering let it cool on the counter for 30 minutes (covered) then break it down into 2-3 cup sized portions with a ladle and freeze it..

when ever you need a cheap meal take it out  & to defrost you can do it on the stove top or by microwave. add some pasta rice or potatoes and maybe some meat if you wish and chow down the lentils and kidney beans add fair protein though so you don't really need to add any meat.

lemon juice
Sugar
juice crystals
iced tea.

meat that's on sale
Seems to be  box's of Chicken or Hamburgers at Safeway and IGA

at marketplaceIga  they have Campbell's Chunky Soups on sale 3 for 5 dollars a true deal and no limit that I could see. So i am gonna stock up the larder with some add rice, pasta, potatoes or some biscuits and you got some dirt cheap meals for 2 or 2 cheap meals for 1... well worth spending 30 dollars to stock pile a few  cans worth...just make sure to verify the cans best before dates ;) they some times try to make you buy stock that is like 1 month before expiring so rotate out reach behind the front shelf and grab from the back ;) where the longer best before dates are hidden.

A new replacement MP3 player from Londondrugs this Sony is not holding a charge or charging well. This will make 2 replacements inside the 2 year warranty getting the extended warranty from londondrugs was well worth it. .

Milk
Cheese
noodles
rice
instant soup mixes
soup stock
A sack of spuds. Whatever would we do without potatoes.

light bulbs
dish soap
laundry detergent
wash cloth
scrubbing pads
scrubbing sponges

and anything else I remember at the time.. I know I am forgetting something but I just cant remember what

(This is a mild joke to all those people who think that foreign brides can be "mail ordered". They can't now and never could, frankly. It never worked that way, no matter what you see on teh intarwebs. I have heard this "joke" made about my wife Sakha more times than I can count. It ceased being funny after roughly the 237th time I heard it. Nowadays I usually respond to that "joke" with a few rounds from my handy-dandy, dishwasher-safe Glock 19.)

Things I will need soon.

New shoes. Mine are really looking ratty.. I just do not have the money needed to replace them at this time.

 Summer shorts. Summer is coming, the preview we've had these past few days shows it may be a wet one.

I find I normally have a basic list. But when I go shopping at costco (which I am not allowed anymore without SS's escort) I tend to find other things I need.

  Biggest thing on my current shopping list is a new electric over hydraulic brake booster for my boat trailer.. so I can finally bring the darn thing home. Ive only owned it for like 6 months now or so.

  Hello Natasha! Hello DDD! I see things havent changed LOL.

True story:

  When our son was just a few months old, some tourist asks us "Where do you buy that?"  He was pointing to our son so I responded "Oh, the outfit is from Old Navy!"  (at that time, he was wearing this cute one-piece winter fleece suit)  He said "No.  Where do you buy baby?!"

  OK, WTF??!!!!!

Title: Re: What's on your shopping list?
Post by: Orik on Jun 09 11 06:15
Well lets see now.
  I still need
  Milk
  Sugar
  lemon Juice.
  2 lbs of chicken  thighs
  3 lbs of Pork bite.. I  use it to make stews.
  3 lbs of Dried beans I will probably grab some of each type Navy, Kidney, &amp; if they have some Black beans
 .
 1-2 lbs of Pot Barley for making some slow cooked stews in the  crock-pot.  A great thickener &amp; if pre-soaked over night and put in  the slow cooker in the morning add the water you soaked them in to your  meat &amp; veggies in the slow cooker you will come home to a really  nice beef barely soup add a couple of table spoon of Knor beef flavor   when you get home from work.. I do not like to salt my barley when it is  soaking or cooking I find it comes out much softer if the flavoring  agents are added last.  If I decide to add some flour or corn starch  with a can of Hinze chili style kidney beans (not rinsed) I got  myself a  flavorful &amp; cheap stew serve it  on top of some mashed taters or  some sticky rice &amp; you can stretch it for a large number of meals.
 
 You can use pearl barley if you want softer &amp; less chewy barely but  you loose some of the bran &amp; nutrition. But you are able to make  most Pearl barley dishes with in 1 to 1.5 hours.
 
 I would love to get my hands on some split red lentils but they tend to  be more expensive than regular brown lentils. So I will probably buy  some regular lentils which in my opinion are not as good  as the split  red ones. Brown lentils will take much longer to cook they are also more  nutritious though.
 
 [img]richedit/upload/2k0dabc8f99b.jpg" border="0"]
 Red lentil on left Unshelled or unsplit red lentil or regular lentil on right. Image courtesy of Wiki
 
 5 lb bag of California white medium grain rice. A  I believe it is  called Japonica which is the type of rice  I find it comes out soft  &amp; sticky they way I like my rice when serving topped with stew.
 
  ! big problem after taking in most of my empties ( the local ones they wont take the American ones)  &amp; raiding the piggy bank I got a total budget of 40 dollars for the entire month  =( to much month not enough money.. just how the hell anyone live's on  Welfare is beyond my reckoning.. Sadly none of my bills will be paid this month because I just have no money left to pay them.
 
 If my disability is still not approved by the end of this month I am  going to be completely buggered for all my bills I am about 200 behind  in rent arrears 80 dollars in arrears of my water bill &amp; I have no  clue what I owe for shaw or the phone.. but they are probably up there  too &amp; the credit card is maxed no room left for nothing..
 
 Anyways I am rambling about things no-one cares about not when everyone  else has there own trials and tribulations to deal with..
 
 I am going to bed I got a headache thinking about bills just stresses me  out.  I can not figure out how anyone person can survive on welfare for  very long..  I will soon be back on the streets unless things change  for the better.

Gas. All I ever do is buy gas, a daily parking pass at the university library or beer and whatever vegetable I need to cook with.

I can't really think of anything on a shopping list, although I might need to re-grip my golf clubs.

Im currently shopping for a new electric over hydraulic brake actuator for my boat trailer.. with breakaway kit. After dealing with a fellow in the states for a bit, I was about to order when I noticed a discrepancy.. after questioning it, he was a bit of a meatball about ti. So today I am going to be looking locally for it, as I cant wait for it to ship from the states.. through USPS then Canada Post.

Depends how you look at it.

In the winters I live upstairs in my house cause its warmer than the basement.
In the summers I live downstairs in my house cause its cooler than the upstairs.

When SS is mad I live outside in the garage on one of my camping cots, right next to the keg fridge

 LOL Russ.  I knew all along you were SS's sugar daddy!  Look at how many homes you have!  :D  

 It's also nice to be in the garage to get some peace and quiet.  Our landlord does the same.  His garage is his refuge when he wants to avoid his wife, which seems to be every night.

Thanks D. I ended up calling and they redirected me to a different place, http://www.canpages.ca/page/BC/richmond/sealand-r-v-service-and-products-(1980)-ltd/3409672.html.
I found this place on my own as well with alot of good online reviews.
Called and quoted me the cheapest I could find anywhere. Went in and got good installation advice as well. The other type I had originally wanted to buy, the guy showed me why it was no good, and non servicable. The type he sold me was a complete drop in kit with everything, rebuildable, for cheaper. Also when I called the place that built my trailer, this was the type they went with now. Having dropped using vacuum brakes a decade ago, lol.
The type I went with was the Carlisle 1000 psi unit, with breakaway kit.

It's rather unrealistic for normal residents to have a second place while also living in Vancouver. The cottage ideal in Ontario makes sense, and would be rather easy to attain at an early age, especially if two or three buddies, etc bought into a place.

From my perspective such ideas or thoughts seem easier to attain as a single person, but the image this life projects always seems to be a rather  lonely and isolated one.

I agree!! Hope to finish gathering stuff in the next week or so and then go get it from Port Alberni.
I have some pictures but not many.. Ill get some when I go to get it and put them up. Lots of work to do to bring it up. But I want to have it in the water at least once before I go... even for a quick burn.
