They also have TP and paper towels. Home Depot: A 2x4x8 was unchanged from last week, at $3.85. Quickly looking at some tools, they have reduced the quantities of a lot of other brands like Klein in favor of Milwaukee, but pegboards were full.

Staple prices were: eggs: $2.15 (-); whole milk: $2.88; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.99; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $3.99 (-); sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.49. They again have a small amount of TP in stock A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Frugality Tip from Margo Have you ever had a bird peck your window non-stop. Like wake you up and then you have a constant headache for weeks or months because it's trying to kill it's reflection?! Don't waste your money on all the gadgets to keep birds away like plastic owls, window clings and spinners. Go to the store and buy a $5 cloth shower curtain and hang it on the outside of your window with a couple of cup hooks. It lets light in and can get rained on and most important, it works. So save your money on all the things that say they deter birds and just block their reflection. I did this two years ago and still have the same shower curtain up on the bedroom window and we sleep peacefully. Operation Independence The sheep are split and ready for a visit from the ram. Lamb futures we hope!

Murphy likes to visit right after Self Reliance Festival and other busy times. Murphy came over last week. Or did he? The funny thing about Murphy is we blame "Murphy" for things going wrong but whose fault is it really. Roaster It is all your fault Do Hard Things because if you don't do them now you will have to do harder things later and this goes for personal health (miking the right small choices every day) and for your business. As the owner, YOU see things that need addressing and you have to make a big choice: Do it yourself or set it up for someone else to do it. The answer is not that simple. That was THE WORK that had to be done so I did it. Because failure is not an option. So back to my roasters and Murphy. It wasnt Murphy's fault. It was mine. But right after they told me they wanted some extra handling. In a week where I felt tired. In a week with extra emails to answer, supplies to stash, communications to write, and steps to take to set up a great 2025. What saves the day: My3Things Doing the Work means identifying which work is most important to do. Example: The location of the ditch for electrical service How to use My3Things, steps to take – Business owner: everything is your fault even when it isn't your fault. Doing the work that was most important first Doing the work to keep healthy Doing the work earlier and later than everyone else Because sometimes doing the work is what needs to be done. Make it a great week! Song: The Flood GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.
