I'm still binging. When I'm in this place it feels like I can't figure out how to stop. But when I'm strict I don't understand others that are not in control. I feel like a mess.
The news says we are at 7 1/2% inflation. We know they don't include food and fuel, but it is upsetting that what we know is coming, is already at our doorstep. I was looking at Ralph's for toasted Sesame oil for stir-frying, which used to be about $3 or $4. Of course, it is more expensive than regular Sesame oil but I was surprised to see the tiny little bottle for $11.50. They didn't have any at Foods4less, but maybe I'll find some elsewhere.
About 3 months ago I bought a couple of large jars of Vaseline at CVS drugstore for 99 cents each. Yesterday I was in a different CVS and looked to see if they had it. They must have gotten in a new supply because the jars were a little different. It was $5.50.
I saw a Ribeye roast last week. The regular price was $134.+, with a sale price of $56.+ if you bought $25. in extra groceries. I passed on it.
If you don't like complaining stop here. My husband hurt my feelings and I sure feel stupid that I even listen or put any stock in it. I sit in the living room to do a lot of my chopping or other work so I can lean back on pillows because of my painful back. A week ago Sunday I got free mushrooms at the food bank at my church. The first load was sliced but has to be laid out in 1 layer. I had 5 trays plus 4 trays of other things. The second load 2 days later had to be washed then I sat with the breadboard on my lap and sliced them and arranged them on 9 dehydrator trays. You see there were about l5 lbs altogether.
This week I again got about 15 lbs of free mushrooms nobody else took since they had cases of them. After washing a pound at a time I sat and sliced and arranged them on the dehydrator trays. I just can't stand long enough at the kitchen sink to do it. The day before I sat and took out side-seams of pants I had previously taken in, from ones I received as hand-me-downs from my SIL. Then I drove and got about 5 cases of #10 cans of grains, etc. from the Mormon Storage Center (even though I am not Mormon). Then I cut netting (tulle) to go around my storage totes for my raised vegetable beds. My husband was nasty that I wasn't doing anything. After explaining about working on the the pants etc. he said I wasn't pulling weeds like he was doing, and to stop lying about working. He gets so angry.
If you're not a Christian please stop reading here. I met 2 Christian gals at the Mormon Storage place. As we waited in line for our turn, I shared about my husband. Later as we waited for our cars to be loaded, the older one said she asked the Lord if my husband has a demon? She said the answer was "several". She said then she asked "who will protect her?" The answer was "I will". When she told me that, I put my hands up right there in the Mormon parking lot, and said "That's my Lord!"
