Photo of the day:
NOW for
today:
It was late,
but we needed something from the grocery store. I volunteered to head out and
pick up the short list. I don’t know
about everyone else, but we have a place for our continuing list of needs from the
grocery store. Tonight it was a short
list. My girl likes vitamins and supplements. Not sure if you must sift thru
the vitamin and supplements aisle or not, but that is like an Easter Egg hunt. Well tonight I could not find the two she
wanted, I ran the gambit 3 times could not find them. I did get the rest of the
list (plus a little more of course, )
Do you
realize I carried everything I bought into the house in one load, the cost for
that load was a little over $100. Shucks, 2 and a half pounds of Coffee was
about $19. I think I will get ‘Chock Full of Nuts coffee next time, it was $16
for 2 ½ pounds. BTW does anyone out
there use Chock Full Of Nuts?
On line the big
grocery stores said they had to increase prices because of Tariffs. That is
common sense. I ran two businesses in my lifetime. It is a fact, if wholesale prices go up so
must your prices. To keep a business viable your prices MUST go up, that is
simple common sense. Without a reasonable profit margin, a business goes broke.
I am not griping
(much) but when you are old you tend to LOOK BACK and say ,’Our grocery bill for
a week now is over twice my total income for a month when we got married.’
I know
things have changed, but even YOU say, wow, two years ago things cost much
less.
Sherry and I
Thank God we can still afford to buy groceries without worrying, ‘will the
check clear the bank.’
Hey back to my
life, I took time to sit and read during the day. Sherry sat in our favorite
swing in the picnic area and talked an hour today. Life is good, especially
when you look over at a beautiful wife.
Thank you
guys for some sweet comments, and thanks to family and friends who read and do
not comment.
I look forward to
reading stuff here and spending time thinking of you and your lives.
PS
The BEST to who read, and I appreciate you taking the time to
stop by.

Yes, price inflation over here too. That's life!
God bless always.
What a wonderful photo, Jack!
These days we/I do the majority of 'regular' grocery shopping on-line ... I'm less likely to become distracted and pick up something unnecessary "just because."
Ya, $100 sure isn't what it used to be. The first time I was given one of those bills I felt rich!
Grocery prices are over the top. I too can still afford what I need but a lot of folks depend on the food banks in order to eat. Inflation has upped the price of everything, not just groceries.
Oliver Jack is a doll! I agree - grocery prices are outrageous. I thought they were supposed to go down. Going out to eat is bad too.
