Back! I went out for a bit - the guys from maintenance here were coming to install a new filter for our furnace, and I always feel awkward being here when they're working, so I figured I'd get some fresh air.

Walked over to the Sunflower Market. I love that place! It's kinda sorta a natural foods store, but they also have almost everything a normal grocery would carry, and for less than the normal grocery prices. Got some avocados for 88 cents each, for example. And green bell peppers were three for a dollar. They typically also have the best prices around on beef and chicken and turkey, and it's all "natural" stuff, which probably just means they get slightly better feed and it's processed in a smaller place...but hey, that's something.

They didn't have any on sale this time, but I still got a decent sized package of extra lean ground beef for three dollars, which will make enough chili or something similar to last me all week...maybe even with enough to freeze a portion. Not bad.

Also their dairy prices on stuff like yogurt and cream are better than the grocery. Often by quite a bit.
