Dollar store autumn decorating

I mentally need something to get me geared up for fall. A good place to start is a quick trip to Dollar Tree for a few pieces of autumn decor. I bought 20 items (spent $20 plus tax). That amount helped me spruce up the kitchen entry, front entry and living room, with very little effort.

Here's what I bought:

I thought these candles had appeal that goes beyond autumn decor.

The faux green apples looked the most realistic of all of the faux
 fruit at DT. I bought 7 for $7. Amazon sells a set of 6 for $13.99

I have a glass door at the entrance to the kitchen.
Window clings are the way to go, there.

Faux flowers and an autumnal pick for pots in the front.

I'll show you pics of what I did with all of this, soon. I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Cheap & Cheerful Suppers for the cook who doesn't want to put a lot of effort into meal prep

So another easy week of meals around my house. I must sound like the laziest cook around! Not lazy, just prioritizing other things over cooking, for the time being. I'm writing this from memory and I can't remember what Sunday was.

Saturday -- curried vegetables and chickpeas over fry bread, blackberries
Monday -- hot dogs over a fire, potato salad, cole slaw, strawberries, s'mores
Tuesday -- lentil soup from the freezer, garlic toast using hoagie rolls, cauliflower and mushroom saute
Wednesday -- egg salad sandwiches, pasta salad, green salad, fruit cup
Thursday -- meatball subs (using frozen meatballs and marinara sauce, in hoagie rolls), frozen green beans and applesauce

Tonight? Hmmm, I'll be out all day, with one of my daughters. Dinner will need to be fast and easy. I bought a 15-dozen case of eggs a week ago, so I think I'll do an egg-based supper. It might just be scrambled eggs and toast, with bananas and frozen peas.

One of my daughters and I are exploring business possibilities. So today is fun research. I don't want to talk about it too much, just yet. We need to firm up some ideas first. But I can say this much, today will be a very fun day for the two of us.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and you are out of range of Irma, where ever you may be. If you happen to live in the hurricane's path, stay safe, and may God protect you. I'll be praying for you.
