Anyway, no worries, the weather didn't get in the way of anything. We had a great visit with distant family, and before heading home, I talked Hubby into stopping by one of those big ole healthy food stores.In our little region, organic foods are so very pricey and sometimes hard to come by. So, I was able to buy a thing or two that we like.
Pictured at right is a can of tomatoes bought here at home recently for $3.15, along with the cans bought in L'ville for $2.69. (Bought to pump up the flavor of cheap salsa.) The savings might not've paid for our gas (!), but every little bit counts, eh?

I have a silly, little trick I do/say to impress upon myself how really useful these "small economies" are in my life. (Dmarie, thank you for the phrase.)
I say to myself, "Okay, so that seems piddling, but if I paid $269 for a $315 item, I would think the savings were substantial."
For me this little trick of the mind and manipulation of the figures works. If I saved at this rate many times, I would save $46. Okay, I said it was silly.
It's too bad you don't have the time to make each trip pay for the gas by buying so well.
Can't believe March is over (and I can't believe how many posts of yours I've missed)!
Love Muir Glen products.
Off course, now you were already there, every economy is nice!
