Weekly Shopping Report from Joe

We made our usual three stops this Saturday, however I have added some more useful information I hope to continue.

Dollar Tree was first. They are well-stocked, although the coolers are filled with mostly name-brand drinks, not the ones I prefer. Oh well. I think they may have hired another person, as the lone woman at the registers was able to call for assistance when her line got long.

Home Depot was next. A 2x4x8 remains at $3.35. It's rather a shame we didn't need any lumber, as the cull cart had a lot of good long pieces on it. The battery carrels up front remain mostly full, although there's very little lithium AA or AAA; I think just some 2-packs.

Aldi was last. Here, I've added some staple prices, and will try to update them:

Milk: $3.06

Eggs: $1.23 (up a little)

Heavy cream (32 oz): $4.69

All-purpose flour: $2.19

Sugar (4 lbs): $2.68

Butter (1 lb): $3.18

We found everything we wanted except pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds, which I've been having as a snack at work). I did find out that the one muzzled clerk is not waiting for bite training, but is the primary caregiver for her Mom, a cancer survivor; she would therefor likely be muzzled anyway.

A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.899.

Frugality Tip

• None this week

Operation Independence

• Replaced the pressure tank for our water system - they go bad about every 5 years - ($350 in labor last time I did this)
• Started feeding the chickens household scraps

Main topic of the Show: Decide

I've got a newsflash for you: Not deciding is deciding. Usually this doest get you where you want to be.

• Indecision is a luxury that comes from gentle consequences
• It is kinder to rip off the bandaid than to remove it gently - same goes for saying no
• Being overwhelmed gets worse when you do not decide and makes a terrible excuse

What does it mean to decide

• Prioritizing communication
