Cold and damp today, getting colder as the day goes on.\u00a0 That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.\u00a0 Like a lollypop on a car seat…\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday was mostly foggy until mid morning, then overcast with occasional sun, and plenty of humidity.\u00a0 Rained after dark and temps dropped from mid-60s to 45F at 1230am…<\/p>\n
Took D1 to the Costco with me after school.\u00a0 Spent some time explaining what we were looking for, what the meat costs and why, and what to look for.\u00a0 Did some math (of a sort) looking at prime steak vs choice and the price difference (for only $2\/pound extra we got the prime.)\u00a0 Selection was very limited.\u00a0 Grabbed a lamb boneless leg roast, that I’ll divide into two meals, left the rib chops as too expensive.\u00a0 Hamburger was $3.99 for 88-12%.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They didn’t have any chicken but organic.\u00a0 They did have “party wings” in the cooler with the other chicken parts though.\u00a0 Haven’t seen that in a while.\u00a0 In the dairy case, no cream at all.\u00a0 No empty pallet either, so they didn’t have any when they set for the day.\u00a0\u00a0 Regular milk was just a half pallet.\u00a0 Plenty of soy and almond based ‘not’ milk though.\u00a0 But no cream.<\/p>\n
They’ve also spread out the shelves in the cleaning supplies\/diapers\/TP area.\u00a0\u00a0 I think they took out a whole row,\u00a0 but the stocker wouldn’t confirm or deny it.\u00a0 Plenty of TP and even some bleach based cleaning products.\u00a0 Lots of extra room between the rows.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t crowded, and most of the people at checkout had several flats of water in their carts.\u00a0 Not me though, just TP and food.\u00a0 Prices were up on a lot of stuff.\u00a0 Rice at 70c\/# to 90c\/pound, up from 50c, pancake mix went from $6\/6# to $6.89 for the same bag.<\/p>\n
Today D1 has an orthodontist appointment in mid morning, so that will mess up my schedule (I forgot about it when I moved my pickups to today.)\u00a0 I’ll have to muddle through though, I guess.\u00a0\u00a0 More driving and running around.\u00a0\u00a0 At least I won’t have to hump half a van load of GS cookies…<\/p>\n
Get out and get some stuff, then stack it high.\u00a0 I don’t think you’ll regret it.<\/p>\n
