This morning is such a change from yesterday! (Yesterday morning was rushing and a bit of stress and frustration between 7:00-10:30.) This morning has been much more relaxed... although time is slipping away from me quickly - I have a feeling today is going to speed by!
I surprised a family member yesterday by sending an 'old school' birthday card. Yep, in the mail. I texted her yesterday morning to send birthday wishes her way; she texted me again later that afternoon when she arrived home and found a birthday card in the mail! She was surprised and we had a good laugh over it.
The reason I bring up grocery shopping is because when I go at least 2 weeks between shopping trips there is always a huge jump in prices. Less 'in your face' when you are going weekly as the prices may rise bit by bit but you are preoccupied and paying another $.50 or $1.00 for 3/4 of your items may irritate you but it's not the sticker-shock you get when you go 2-3 weeks between trips.
I have often been seeing price hikes of up to $3 per item on my shopping trips. That's $.50-$3 per item times 30-50 or so items, right? OUCH. Which is why it's easy for a normal grocery shopping trip to be upwards of $100+ for the exact same items you've bought all year long.
My last comparison showed normal groceries for our family was up an average of $140 per trip for the same items I typically buy on a 30-50 item trip.
Anyway! I was just thinking out loud there as I try to decide my priority list on tasks, errands, cleaning, cooking, shopping, repairs, calls, online accounting, etc. to do today... and what funds I may or may not have to pay bills online as well.
.... meh, it's just the coffee talking again.
