    Preparing to redo the roof and interior Resupply run this week (Cosi App) Canning tomato sauce & Salsa Weekly Shopping Report from Joe
    Aldi: We found everything we wanted. A few prices dropped this week. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.25 (-); eggs: $2.55 (-); whole milk: $2.92; heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.59; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79.
    We didn't go into Home Depot again this week, but the price online of a 2x4x8 is still $3.48.
    A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. 
    Frugality Tip
    My frugal tip is not a money tip, it’s a time tip  
    Watering trees:  Hubby and I spent way too much time watering new trees around our property.  We found some cheap five gallon buckets, drilled four holes in the bottom using his smallest drill bit. Now to water a tree, we put the bucket beside the tree on the up side if it’s on a hill and fill the bucket up and walk away. Let the bucket do the work.  The water slowly drains out of the bucket into the ground to the roots where you want the water, not running off because the hose delivers the water too fast.

    Resist Real Relationships: Take the time you have to learn about and build true community – and family –  groups based on real trust rather than fake marketing to help each other and do better - kind of like a school of fish versus one love fish.  Alternative Economy: Tap into your inner agorist. We have everything we need to prosper right here. We have the skills, the knowledge, the connections, the tools. We just have to stop depending on THE SYSTEM and start being OUR system (Note this does not mean do not use the tools we have from THE SYSTEM) Financial Ducks In A Row: Debt, money enterprise, Bitcoin, etc Get Out Of The Way: Moving to the country… Health Matters:  Digital Hygiene: Last week the Internet broke. That is your early warning. Ill be sharing my journey starting with an Above Phone FWIW. Grow Your Own Food: Garlic Self Reliant example.
