Tales from the Prepper Pantry
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.

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.
What does it mean to decide
Shiny object syndrome and deciding
You stand at a crossroad each day where your first decision is this: Do you want to be better, or do you want to keep your unhealthy identity? (the Alcoholic example) Will you put on your oxygen mask first then help others, or will you bury yourself in indecision to mute the pain of knowing you did not decide, and therefore things were decided for you.
Living the life that others chose for you - vs living your life starts each morning (Job story) - boils down to one thing: Decide. Decide to do something. Decide you will never do something. Decide to let go of the crap. Decide you want to be crap. Decide to grow. Decide no. J
Just go out and decide - because when you decide, you change the metric by which your minutes, hours and days are measured. You bring it back to the things you can control. And you stop stagnating in apathy.
Decide
Make it a great week!
GUYS! Don’t forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.
