Yep, I have a mental list what to get where... lol
Cause we shop for a month at a time. And the trip to town for supplies is 75 miles one way. Every penny counts.
And historically this is how it used to be when I was growing up. Now folks are brainwashed into just paying whatever they ask for whether it makes sense or not.
If we stop doing that, crap will run uphill to the powers that be and this economy mess will stop.As long as people are foolish enough to keep paying it then it will continue.
Just say no, walk away, and live without it. And yes.. Over just .25 cents too much...
Yep. That “list of stops”. I have the same. It is seven miles to the nearest convenience store and 15 to the nearest grocery store, with a small Ace hardware and a Dollar General also at about the half way point to the grocery. Thankfully, we have a small “mom & pop” store near the DG that has its own meat counter (and it doesn’t sell beer or lottery tickets—bonus!). I get the best cuts of steaks there, for an excellent price as well(plus any local gossip)! That’s my final stop on the way home.
Hubby can just about track my movements and judge what time I will return when I make my once-a-week trips.
