Brought in fresh green beans and freshly cut chives to my employees today.
Sometimes we have to do that. There are some personal care items that never come on sale and they usually have very limited stock, so we often buy that item out. Sometimes it is a matter of what store in a chain carries a particular item, for example there is a particular brand, style and size of underwear that I prefer, nothing exotic or expensive but the stores in this province don’t carry that style and size. Some of the stores one province over do carry it, so when I pass through certain communities I stop and stock up. In a pinch, anything that fits will do, but where I have the option I go for comfort. The same chain and store sells an inexpensive T-shirt that wears like iron. Most of their shirts are poor quality, but whenever I stop for underwear I pick up the 2 or 3 shirts they will have in stock.@The Innkeeper
Here it is just if you see it in a sales catalogue for an item you need you go hog wild and buy them out .
We also pay a mortgage as well so it is extra challenging .
$332 per month on insurance there,
@LadyLocust yes you have to ask for the bones here even though you are already charged for them in the weight of the beef you purchase. Yes they are nice in soups but I have only ever used a smoked ham hock in split pea soup and that is lovely. Still have to try making bone broth although I do drain off the juices after a roast has cooked and save that for soups and the like.
And its better for you.Another thing is to cook from scratch. It is cheaper to buy the ingredients, but it is more work.
