Tales from the Prepper Pantry
Weekly Shopping Report, 7/25/23
I can't find the page where I wrote down prices, in any pocket. Fortunately, I don't think anything in Aldi changed.
Our first stop was the recycle center.
We skipped Dollar Tree this week, since I had bought an extra energy drink for my trip, and we didn't need anything else there.
I ran into Home Depot to check the price of a 2x4x8, and it has indeed dropped quite a bit, to $2.98. It has been months if not years since they were under $3.00.
Aldi was last. Looking at last week's staple prices, I don't think anything changed. I did notice definite gaps in the meat coolers. I won't decide anything about that until this weekend though, since we don't normally shop on Tuesdays and this could be when they might have a lull. They also had none of the 70% chocolate I like, but the price tag at its spot had not changed, so I'll just look again this weekend.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.899.
Frugality Tip
Hey all. Today's frugality tip is a gardening hack. What I use to tie my plants to stakes and trellis is t-shirt yarn. It moves with the plants and prevents you from tying too tight and ruining your plant babies.
Take an old Tshirt, lay it flat, and cut strips. I cut off any bottom folded over seam on the shirt and discard. Then cut all the way across the shirt. Take that strip and cut into pieces 3-4" inches long. Then pull those pieces in both directions and they will spring into stretchy "yarn" like ties.
Double hack, cut a couple of strips off the bottom, then cut the sleeves and neck line off (can use the sleeves to make ties as well) then sew across the bottom of the shirt and you have a stretchy bag you can use for harvesting your veggies, or shopping.
