Cold and wet, with a chance of cold and clear.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 National forecast says we’ll be clear, and it could warm up, but it was 48F when I went to bed.<\/p>\n
Spent Friday doing my pickups, then finding the stuff I wanted to bring to my meeting to try to sell.\u00a0\u00a0 I had lost a thing that is bigger than a breadbox…\u00a0\u00a0 found it though.\u00a0\u00a0 Looked in three places before looking at home.\u00a0 It was sitting here all along, not even hidden, just in a bin I didn’t think it would be in.\u00a0\u00a0 I was looking for it out in the open.\u00a0 You always find it in the last place you look \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today I’ve got my meeting, then load the truck and head out.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll get some stuff moved up there, do a chore or two, and spend some time there.\u00a0\u00a0 All wins.<\/p>\n
I have plenty to do at home, but I need to keep moving at the BOL if we’re going to do Thanksgiving there.<\/p>\n
And I’m moving stuff there and building the stacks.\u00a0 If I have enough time, I’ll divide my OTC drug bin and take half to the BOL. \u00a0 I’m taking most of the food I bought yesterday too.\u00a0 One of the deals at HEB yesterday was “buy a ham, get a free turkey”.\u00a0 I’ve got freezer space at the lake, so I did.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Even though the ham was a dollar more per pound than Costco, the 12 pound turkey for free more\u00a0 than made up the difference.\u00a0\u00a0 A couple of years ago that deal didn’t save any money over Costco.\u00a0 Now it does.<\/p>\n
If you aren’t normally a “deal” shopper, a coupon-er, or an ad shopper, this would be a good time to start.\u00a0 Get a jump on the coming hardship, and practice saving money.\u00a0 Learn the rhythm of the sales, and what stores have better pricing on what items.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s not yet a matter of eating or not eating, so you can make mistakes and climb the learning curve.\u00a0\u00a0 Going on as you’ve always gone, is not going to be an option forever.<\/p>\n
Preps will help ease the transition.\u00a0 So stack some stuff.<\/p>\n
