Weekly Shopping Report

Home Depot. The online price of a 2x4x8 there remains $3.65.

Along with the new type, Aldi had some of their canned cat food back in stock, so we got two cases. We found everything else we wanted, but noted they were out of watermelon (not on our list this week). Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.39; eggs: $3.77 (++); whole milk: $2.92 (+); heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.59; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.39 (+).

A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.

Frugality Tip from Margo

Hey y'all. After talking to someone recently I realized there are probably some things that are second nature to some, but unfamiliar to others. This week's frugality tip is using media mail with the post office. If you are mailing books, movies, music, or educational material you can send them via media mail. Maximum weight is 70 lbs and it is $4.13 (at time of writing) for any size package. But don't put anything else in the package, they can and will, randomly open media mail packages because some people have tried to skirt the system and mail other things. So send a book to someone and save a few bucks by sending it media mail.

Happy savings y'all.
