I bought bananas-- 2 huge "hands" of them----That is why I am late posting-
I also spent almost $300 at the grocery--- I just got it all put away now-- Buying groceries is not all it is "cracked up to be"--(Dad's expression)-- You see, it's not just getting the foods-- One must get it home--carry it in--then run some down to the freezer-- some upstairs---wash the lettuce-and the radishes---And that is not telling you how one feels as yu see prices higher today, than last week- For instance---a tray of chicken legs which used to be $10 at the most--is now $20---- (but I found a few trays for $7---) It is very depressing, because it makes me wonder how much longer we can afford to eat--which is one of my favourite things to do! ---
I suppose you can look at it all as , we are fortunate to have food--and grocery stores-- --It could be worse I suppose--
We have sunshine here --There were geese all over a park on the way into town this AM--- So, perhaps thy flew in from up north, en route to the South somewhere-I have not seen them in their "V" formation flying over , yet--
I just wanted to say "HI" to y'all-- and that I hope yer day is going well--- Hopefully you are strong-- Lord love a Duck!-- We can't "cave in" --- These days are tough sledding , but, we have to deal with life as it is each day--Maybe we have to look on each day as an adventure--keep a sense of humour --
It is work, keeping the larder stocked. And we all have sticker shock at the grocery store, too. Did I tell you I've been "off" bananas for a couple of weeks? Maybe I'll buy them next time I shop, just a couple, to see if whatever was troubling my tummy with them has magically fixed itself?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fine Wednesday and the rest of the week, too.
I notice that we get wee black spots in the centre of the bananas-- What is that?--Lynda
DeleteThose little back spots in the middle of bananas are seeds.
DeleteA hug always makes things better.
ReplyDeleteGoing to grocery store isn't fun. I hate seeing prices going up each week. I, too, like to eat.
Beautiful sunny, very warm day in St.Louis.
Enjoy your Wednesday
Hugs
Oh it was a lot of "putting away" stuff when we got home--Lynda
DeleteAt least groceries. Bought to hold you for awhile. So you can stay home, and cool your heels. I’m just thinking about what to cook, not sure what I feel like cooking. Do have things here to cook, it’s my mood that brings me down. The more you cook, the more you have to wash up!
ReplyDeleteso true--- and-the more yu eat--LOL-Lynda
DeleteLord have mercy. The money just flies out of the wallet when @ the grocery store. And you’re right, it’s not just about finding the food, buying the food, getting it from the cart into the car. It’s about getting it all out of the car and sorted and put away. Filtered sunshine here.
ReplyDeleteYes, it’s tough sledding these days, but . . . we’re keeping control of the sleds so they go in the right direction, right!
Hugs

Yes Barb-WE are in control--LOL-Lynda
DeleteI feel the same say after going to the grocery store. Last time I wanted to buy some stew meat and for what I needed it would have been close to $18. Not worth it! We buy a lot of things in bulk at Costco which does help but then we have to pay for that membership ahead of time. Some days I wish I could just stop eating!!! Have a great day. I'm sure it will all work out one day - hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteLOL-- Yes, it would be a lot cheaper if we could just stop eating--LOLOL__ YU made ,me LOL--- Hugs my dear friend-Lynda
DeleteYour first poster is funny.
ReplyDeleteYou are right to think on the positive side of things. Like, yes, we are fortunate to have food and stores.
I just have 3 dying bananas left, but I have a tray of organic blueberries.
I am messed up by the time change, I've been a day ahead all week, too.
Well, I guess as they says, we are still above ground.
Hugs do make us feel better...they Help Us Grow Stronger. That's why I always end my posts to you with {{{HUGS}}}
