Our weekly shopping trip to the local grocery store (Albertsons) cost a total of $36.78. Nearly all of the items were on sale and while we don't usually eat canned soup and boxed cereal, for 97 cents each (soup) and $1.47 each (cereal), these are a good standby if we are sick or don't feel like cooking. Things we don't use after a year get packed up and sent to the Philippines. Note the picture is missing four bananas which I forgot to put in the picture.
Five more things...
- The government is giving out more free covid tests at the link here.
- The cats still haven't shown up and it has been more than a week. I hope something good happened to them (someone turned them into house cats) and not something bad (coyotes).
- We will probably do some extra shopping at Costco and Sam's Club this weekend as a looming port shutdown could have a drastic effect on what we will be able to buy at the stores in the coming months.
- We are fortunate that our friends and family in Florida and Georgia are fine but it was pretty scary watching Hurricane Helene from the viewpoint of the stormchasers. Yikes
- Tomorrow (Saturday) is National Public Lands Day (and free entry day to the National Parks).
