Best Meat in Atlanta

I have to admit I am a pescetarian, but my husband and kids eat meat.  My favorite place in the Atlanta area to buy them meats is Patak. I usually only go once or twice a year because it is far from my house. They have added online ordering and delivery which now makes it so easy. I ordered meats last week and they arrived the next day. Our favorite items are the peppered bacon and salamis. I have to admit, I usually have to have at least a piece when I make the bacon and I usually don't eat any meat.

Discount Glasses

My son recently said he was having trouble seeing the blackboard at school. He's probably straining his eyes playing video games too. After seeing an eye doctor for a prescription, I ordered some discounted glasses from GlassesUSA. They have really cute glasses for both men and women. 

I can give you an extra 10% off your first pair of glasses at GlassesUSA.com.

Trying To Avoid The Stores?

I have been having boxes of organic fruits and vegetables shipped from Misfit Market for the past few months.

Misfit Market is a subscription box of sometimes funny-looking, always delicious produce, designed to break the cycle of food waste. Think of us like an online grocery store, except one that specializes in rescuing food that is unnecessarily thrown away. We source high-quality organic produce that has a few quirks—onions that are too small, potatoes that are shaped like your favorite celebrity, and carrots that fell in love and got twisted together. It may sound like a joke, but billions of pounds of this fresh and delicious food is tossed each year because grocery stores only want "perfect" foods on their shelves. We st
ep in and buy this food from hundreds of farms across the country and bring them to your doorstep, saving you money and helping you save the world.

Everything I have received is great. It's also exciting to see what I will get next. Staying home the past week has allowed me to experiment more with my cooking and the these veggies have come in handy. I made garlic kale, cut radishes with my mandolin for the tops of our shrimp burgers, and used blood oranges for cocktails.

Clean Out Your Closet

Being stuck in your house allows ample time to clean. One great place to start is your closet or the kids.  ThredUp allows me to sell my second hand clothes online. It so easy.  You can order bags from them online. They will send them in the mail with return postage. Once you fill them send them back and start making money. You can cash out or use the earning towards purchase on clothes. I just received two bags and can't wait to make room in my closet for some new comfy house clothes.
