Sunday Rambling

April 19th, 2020 at 08:45 pm


I’m so thankful for this blog, you all often provide great advice.

I’ve been saving as much as I can. Outside of my grocery and electric bill, my expenses have been extremely low. I’m hoping my manager will continue with the work from home option. So far I’ve saved about $150 in gas alone.

I notice that there has been a spike in the cost of food, an 18 count of eggs 🥚 were just over a dollar now it’s $2+. I understand the supply and demand has impacted these increases, but I can’t help but think yikes!

As you all know, I’m in Florida and people are hitting the beaches in droves. I’ve decided to continue with social distancing, only heading to the store when I need items. No pool or beach for me.

I’ve also been keeping myself busy, attending virtual movie night, virtual BINGO, virtual happy hour and painting a wine glass, all have been fun. I’ll admit I’m a little antsy but safety first.

I’ve also been walking more, I’m down about four pounds, I’m hoping to hit my goal of 10lbs over the next 30 days.

Well that’s it for me

    I have also noticed significant savings in gas over the last month. I didn't buy buy gas for a month. That was really nice and I transferred it into emergency savings. I also saved some with coupons at the stores and transferred that to savings. With food, I have noticed that some costs have gone up, but mostly, food is problematic because of unpredictable supply. So, I have bee frequenting the sales and clearance aisles and doing some stocking up. Also, right before paydays, I have transferred my "leftovers" to emergency savings. So far, I think I have saved about $200.00 beyond normal.

    Yes, our eggs have jumped up at Aldi to $1.44 for a dozen. Five weeks ago they were just under a dollar a dozen. Lots of prices are going up.

    You are smart to social distance to keep yourself safe.
