Listener Feedback
I just wanted to reach out to you to tell you how much I appreciate your podcast and the experience Russ and I had at LFTN in 2023. Meeting you, John, and Amanda has really changed our lives for the better. We are doing great things on our farm- I even planted tomatoes in our Dutch bucket system that we have in our greenhouse! I am so stoked to see how things grow and what we can harvest this fall.
Your My 3 Things is something that I use daily in order to help me keep things running smoothly on the farm as I work from home. I finished the first year of my program in herbalism and nutrition and am about to start off my second year. It has been so amazing and I was inspired to do better for my family and community through listening to your podcast.
Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to learning more from you.

Weekly Shopping Report
Dollar Tree: The food coolers are in decent shape; all are working and probably 60%-75% full.
Home Depot: A 2x4x8 is $3.65, same as last week.
Aldi: There was very little milk; I hadn't been paying attention, but this time noticed that instead of three full racks of half and full gallons of actual milk plus a couple of varieties with nutritional content removed (2% and 1%), there were perhaps a couple of half-racks with gallons of whole milk and only a little of the fake stuff; few if any half-gallons. There was also only one rack of eggs. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.35; eggs: $2.42 (+); whole milk: $2.89; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.79; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79. In the meat area, the coolers were full but not stuffed.
Gas: A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.
Frugality Tip
Our vision changes throughout our lives. Some of us need glasses, some of us need multiple glasses, or progressive lenses. Sometimes these cost a lot of money at eyeglass stores. Zenni optical is where I buy my glasses. Single prescription glasses start around $8. I have a pair of polarized prescription sunglasses that I paid $20 for and progressive lens glasses start at $38. So grab your prescription(s) and your Pupillary Distance (the distance in millimeters (mm) between the center of one pupil to the center of the other). And check out Zenni.com. they even have a try on feature.
Happy saving y'all

Main topic of the Show: You Can’t Unsee It
A friend of mine posted some thoughts on the coming election. Her perspective was that if you live in a state where 70% or more of the votes will go D or R no matter who is running, there is no reason to vote “against” the dominant party mathematically if you like neither candidate.
She’s right.
And therein lies the rub really: the word lead.
And in those processed lie the true power and control - less so the people “overseeing them”.
The funny part is there are different reactions to seeing it:
And then there is our friend acceptance.
But the fight changes after you see it because you know a few things.
And that back and forth is the distraction.
Make it a great week!

Weekly Shopping Report
Home Depot this weekend, the online price of a 2x4x8 has gone up, to $3.65.
Aldi. We found everything we wanted. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.35; eggs: $2.25; whole milk: $2.89 (+); heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.79; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79.
Food City: They had a decent amount of raw Tennessee honey, including some quart jars, which we prefer. They were $14.99, which if I remember correctly, may be a dollar higher than the last time some months ago.
A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.

Main topic of the Show: Winter Is Coming, Are You Ready?
It’s hot, but there is a certain crispness in the evening air. The past two nights, I have even been able to sleep without any AC and the windows open. With the garden at peak production, which is not the usual flush this year, my mind wanders to the winter months.
The old timers are already talking about how hard this one will be based on caterpillars, and other signs. They do this every year.
Getting ready NOW for the coming winter is really what summer on a homestead is all about.
