I remember in the 70's coming home and saying..oh my goodness ..I spent 20 dollars at the store today! That was a lot back then. Of course hourly wage was next to nothing. View attachment 3547222

I can remember my dad coming home from the grocery store with 3-4 bags full for $20. That would last our family of 5 all week (mom fixed 3 meals per day).

Yes, I made breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good ol days too when we all ate together, except hubby at work for lunch.

I have taken to checking Amazon for some household items and it can be cheaper. Also check Temu, sometimes there’s some really good deals

I use Amazon often. Do you have any shipping delays with Temu?

I grew up in earthquake country for the most part after living on a farm for the early part of my childhood. I can’t get past the mindset of having a pantry stuffed to the gills in case of an emergency so I use canned and boxed stuff a few days a week to rotate through it. I figure a can of green beans or carrots in a stew full of fresh veggies is probably ok.

I keep dried beans and soups for emergencies. When they get close to expiration I donate and buy more.

I use Amazon often too. Temu..I'm going to get rid of that app! Bronwyn showed me that one! It's too tempting.

Used the new sink. The sprayer thing is awesome and hubs did a really nice job with installation. Can’t have the same storage setup underneath though, the new garbage disposal is bigger, scarier, with more teeth. The hands free on/off, OMG I LOVE IT! That’s seriously going to come in handy.

Picture?

She’s beautiful Chrissy!

Thanks IM. She's such a love bug, and she's really mellow with all the grandkids. Plus, she's the only big dog I've ever fully trusted around the chickens.

I saw that on the news. The idea of a bear breaking into my house... oh heck no.... I'd move
