Weekly Shopping Report

Home Depot this weekend, the online price of a 2x4x8 has gone up, to $3.65.

Aldi. We found everything we wanted. Staple prices were: bread (20 oz. white): $1.35; eggs: $2.25; whole milk: $2.89 (+); heavy cream: $5.39; OJ: $3.45; butter: $3.79; bacon: $3.99; potatoes: $4.49; sugar: $2.99; flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $3.79.

Food City: They had a decent amount of raw Tennessee honey, including some quart jars, which we prefer. They were $14.99, which if I remember correctly, may be a dollar higher than the last time some months ago.

A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599.

Main topic of the Show: Winter Is Coming, Are You Ready?

It’s hot, but there is a certain crispness in the evening air. The past two nights, I have even been able to sleep without any AC and the windows open. With the garden at peak production, which is not the usual flush this year, my mind wanders to the winter months.

The old timers are already talking about how hard this one will be based on caterpillars, and other signs. They do this every year.

Getting ready NOW for the coming winter is really what summer on a homestead is all about.
