Time Is Running Out

\"timeTime is running out. My vacation is almost over already. ALREADY!!

Today I made a trip to the salvage store. When I get back from such an excursion, I often look up the prices for the stuff that I bought, to see how much I saved. Amazon seems the easiest \”store\” to use online, but I figure brick-and-mortar supermarket prices are similar.

This morning I found canned Mac and Cheese, 15  oz cans, 3 for $1.00. That\’s considerably cheaper than buying it from a regular supermarket. It\’s actually pretty good, and you can dress it up however you like: add spices, or veggies, or tuna. When you want mac n cheese in a hurry, this is a big help.

Because things at the salvage store usually cost less, I sometimes buy things that I usually would not. I can try things without worrying that I\’ll have wasted money if it turns out I don\’t like them. Vienna Sausages in Buffalo Sauce, for example. I had had the idea that buffalo sauce was very hot. The sauce in these sausages, at least, isn\’t especially peppery, and is more like sweet and sour sauce than anything.

This is the time of year when I\’m stockpiling non-perishables in case of a hurricane. The salvage store is a good place to look for such stuff, so I think I\’ll be heading there again next Saturday. I\’m not going to wait until a storm is headed this way, and time is running out.
