Well I thought I posted again but can't find it. Now to remember what I said.
We went to town again today, second time this week. Had to go to the bank and DH wanted to go to walmart and dollar tree, we also stopped a t Walgreens.
I was shocked at the prices of vitamins at walgreens. I do much better at Vitacost.com. Mainly I went there because they have Nice nuts on sale, 3.99 for 8.5 ozs., I got whole cashews and walnuts, they are not organic, but they will do.
Dollar Tree didn't have the allergy meds we take, but I picked up two more of the long handled lighters and a pack of 3 regular lighters. The had facial tissue with 175 count, the other brands had much less, two boxes. Two decks of cards, gotta have something to do if the power goes out. Two carmex lip balms. And the only food was two bags of quinoa.
Now walmart, I bought DH more bags for his food saver, he's going through a lot with the four pigs he's just butchered. they had the cocoa that I had ordered that got destroyed in shipping. Three cases of walmart bottled water. The only fresh food I got was a head of organic lettuce for DH and Leeks for me and a few bags of frozen veggies to dehydrate. They finally had unsweetened coconut, and they had a few bags of corn meal, I got one. Two more Bristol canned hams. They had two cases of canning jars, I got both. And they had Golden Harvest brand lids, 3 or 4 cases, I bought 16 boxes at 1.47 each. I should be set on lids for a good while. Probably something else I can't remember, I spent $190.00. Ouch.
Dollar Tree shelves were really picked over. The cashier said they have more product in the back but can't keep the shelves stocked. Walmart looked about the same as earlier in the week.
The best part of my trip was the conversations I had, two ladies in the bank and two ladies at walgreens. The line at walgreens we hugely long so naturally I got in a conversation with the young woman next to me. She has a good head on her shoulder and knows what is going on, same with the younger woman who was the cashier. She was masked because she refuses to take the jab, as I was walking away she whispered "thank you for being respectful", she's black, so sad that people don't take other people at face value. Both of these two young ladies know what is what, no jab for either of them. The other conversation I had was with two ladies at the bank. One had a buzz cut hair cut. She had a bad case of covid pneumonia and her hair fell out, and this was months ago, she's not getting the jab and the other lady, probably in my neck of the woods age wise, had covid for two weeks and wanted to die, she had depression, loss of taste, but all of a sudden after two weeks it completely went away, no more depression and her taste came back. Oh and the cashier at Dollar Tree knows whats going on, another young black woman that has a clue. So that is five women and myself in Natchitoches, LA that did not drink the koolaide, it gave me hope. I don't think they can gets us all.
God is good all the time
