Stocking Up

While we did our errands today, I made a special point to stock up on...everything.  If the front cover of the Economist says we are headed towards a global food catastrophe, I want to at least be a little proactive towards keeping us from going hungry.  Considering my gardening skills (we got exactly ONE tiny tomato from our gardening efforts this spring...photo above) this will be no small feat!  

I heard that the price of stamps is going up again so I bought a couple of extra books of stamps today at the post office which should last us well over a year since I hardly mail anything these days.

This weekend was also the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas which brings hundreds of thousands of people to a huge music festival each year and where apparently bar bills can top what people would pay for a house!  eeekkk

Then I paid the annual registration for our car and instead of paying $235, we only paid $33 because hubby gets a veteran's tax exemption from the county.  They also exempt a chunk of our house property tax too.  Many counties do this and it is a great way to save a little extra money each year!

Finally, here are some interesting and useful cooking tips.

And one more thing...here is a $2 movie special that is running at several movie theaters this summer. 

And yet another thing...you can get three months of Hulu for $1 per month!
