I got a bit of cash from my parents for my birthday so I bought the saffron crocuses with that. I like to cook and have enough geegaws already. We budget about $25 per parent and this will just about hit that mark for our moms. If we spent more than that they’d fuss. I’d planned to buy saffron crocuses earlier in the fall but we didn’t have any spare cash just then. Imagine my surprise when I learned they were still available! They usually sell out in September or October.
Maybe I can get them to be happy and sell the bulbs or just sell the saffron. Or, given our health insurance deductible will be TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS next year up from $2500 I might see if the docs will do old fashioned trade for service with that :P
$12,0000...gee. You could die before meeting the deduct.
I suspect lots of people may be wanting to do a little barter for health treatments in the future.
