please explain what this item is, i'm clueless

It's a "snuggie". looks like a blanket with sleeves.

Our local Kroger-owned store has been having an awesome round of heir "Mega-10" events. Buy 10 participating items, get $5 off your total. I've been stocking up on things like mac n cheese & fruit for 49¢ a can/box, pasta, olives, toothbrushes, ricola cough drops etc. Also been rearranging, organizing & further packing & rotating stuff.

I bought lots of ground beef to can, last week I ordered a pressure canner and it came, I'm still a little afraid to use it! I have to soon, though, or the ground beef will need to be frozen!
We bought our middle daughter her own 22 rifle. She's a good shot! We got the little kids each a Daisy Red Ryder for Christmas.
I made up a recipe that might make a good prep dish! Target had black spaghetti pasta and I wondered how they made it black so I checked the ingredients, it said squid ink. I knew we had to try that!
I made it with alfredo sauce and added tuna, and it was great! That would work with plain spaghetti, too.
It looked ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! The kids liked that aspect of it, and they loved the taste.

I found mac and cheese for 33 cents a box and cake mixes, good ones, for $1. Still having trouble finding sugar for less than 56 cents a pound though. I have coffee coupons and have found some sales, but by the time I get there they are out and I have to take rain checks...rain check do not fill my pantry!

Sugar on sale here. $1.49 a 4 lb bag

Buy us all some, please, Wire. ;-]
