Frugality Tip

Listened to the podcast with John Willis, you, and Bear… and since peppers love buckets here’s my tip .

At Walmart you can go to the bakery, and ask for the icing buckets . They are 1 and  5 gals, with lids . They do a quick rinse of them , but they are still oily . They used to be free, my local Walmart recently starting charging $1 for each piece .The lids are a-gamma type with a rubber seal . Very very very sturdy buckets . Before the , plandemic , and I would stop by weekly grabbed about 100 with lids ,over a few months .   I live outside a small town of 6,000 people , next town has 10,000 people .So not heavily populated area .in the spring when I plant veggies in  the garden , we’ll  have a storm come through , ice ,sleet etc .I use these buckets to cover each plant for frost protection , if we get a late snow , I put the buckets on the plants , and then cover everything with an old sheet, tarp, blanket, and put a brick on top of that .Saved my plants many a time , by pushing the season a little .I also use the buckets to store food, use for water bowls for animals , store bird seed in them , blackout kit …..uses are endless …..when they degrade over time I throw them out and have more….

Have a great day ..Debi 

Weekly Shopping Report from Joe

We made three stops on our trip today. The first stop was Dollar[-twenty five] Tree. No more mackerel, but they have a lot of other canned items, beans and rice (smaller bags), egg noodles, and spices. There were more mugs and other glassware than I've seen in a while. One of the food coolers in the back was completely empty and dark; I did not ask about it. The others were all full.

Home Depot was next. Milwaukee has a uniquely shaped ("hawk-bill") knife that Wife really likes, so I got one too. The shape is great for working in the garden, opening packages, and other common tasks. A 2x4x8 is still $4.98. There was not much on the cull cart this week. We picked up some 30% UV shade cloth we'd ordered; it really helps plants to not bake in the hot sun.

Our final stop was Aldi. Despite a light list with no meat (other than bacon) this week, the bill seemed a little high, but we know that's how it is now. Stock levels were good in all areas except perhaps meat, which was a little light, but not alarming. Some of the prepping channels I watch are reporting some shortages, but fortunately we're not seeing it here yet.

I saw only a few face-diapers, mostly in Aldi. Traffic was fairly light for a Saturday. Untainted regular has gone back up to $5.099.
