Found Something Out in Help Me Please

Yesterday after my eye doctors appointment I went to get some fruit and vegetables but the place I usually went to has closed and now there is a used clothing place there so I was kind of disappointed. but I can understand why they did close because mostly of the Covid thing and I guess people just stayed away. So I will have to go to this other place. I don’t like it as much the cashier isn’t all that friendly and doesn’t say much but their stuff is still cheap.
here is a question for you? When you want something do you got to the same store all the time? Like if you want bathroom spray do you go to a dollar store because you know they have it and it’s cheap? or even for things like sos? or when you go grocery shopping do you go to the same place because the quality is better and the prices are much cheaper? I do that especially if I am going to other places around that store like to the bank or to the liquor store.
I have known some people who will go to three or four different stores for different things because they are all having sales on what you want and need. I use to do that but not anymore. It just got too time consuming and without a car it’s a lot harder. So I usually pick the cheaper store and go there and for some reason I am always spending more then I really want to but then things are expensive and what I am getting for the most part is either cheaper or on sale so that does help. But when ever I do grocery shop I always save something like 25% or even a dollar amount and with ever store I go to i get some sort of points so then I can get some dollars taken off and pay even less.
And for some things like meat and poultry I like to be in person to get these things and there is some fruit and vegetables I like to get in person. but the rest of the stuff I will and have gotten on line shopping. But I am also finding simple things like garbage bags are more then what I want to pay for and the ones I want they don’t seem to have on line so stuff like that I will go in person and get the quantity I want.
Here is another question? When you do go grocery shopping to you remember to take your list or do you know basically what you need and want? I do both and if they don’t have what I want I just don’t get it. But then if I really need it I will go ask someone if there is any in the back and if not then I will get something similar.
And I always find that who ever I ask about stuff they always tell me why it’s not there and for the most part it’s because of supply issues but they always try to promise it will be there the next day so the next time I go it’s there. But I even have workers who know me not by name but by my appearance and they are the ones I complain to about the prices of some of the products like the fish and the meat. It’s harder to complain about the prices on the shelves because not many of those people are stocking the shelves when I am there, but I do ask what happened and why is the stuff so expensive and they tell me the same thing as the meat department…it’s a supply issue and the transport thing. But I always do get mostly everything on my list and what I get as a extra so it’s all good.
The one thing I have found is that the main brand does have the no name stuff and it’s exactly the same but just a bit cheaper. I know this because hubby use to work in a bakery and what ever was made was three different store of their brands. Like we have a bakery called Weston’s and they make bread products for Walmart and another store and it’s the exact same ingredients but a different packaging. And I know Dempster’s does the same thing but for different stores. And if you read the ingredients it’s exactly the same as the name brand. But many people think it does taste different but in the end it goes in and then comes out so there is really no difference.

Onto something else....

Tonight’s dinner is going to be haddock fish fillets and some sort of noodles and maybe zucchini with parmesan cheese.
And for my domestic work I should really get some laundry done and wash the floors after I sweep them. other then that not much is going to happen. I just hope it doesn’t rain too bad. But so far it’s 35 and clear so maybe there is a chance of warmer weather and better temperatures.

Onto something else....

My son was doing the Ancestry thing and found out all of my relatives that I don’t know and are dead came from either Russia or the Ukraine. They said Ukraine before it became independent and also some of them have no records at all because they either got lost or didn’t have them to start with. I found this very interesting. But this is information I should have known but I was either too stupid or too young to ask and by the time I wanted to ask the people were dead. But I found out my mom knows all of the family history so now I can ask her more questions when I think of them.

Onto something else....
I need to stop here and start thinking about what to do next.
Do have a great day…
Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe and Behave.
