Food prices June 2021

Just reminding all -- shop well.

I wanted a supply of fresh bay leaves. The McC bottle was $4.69, .12 oz, many broken leaves. Went to the ethnic section of this groc store (I use this variety often) and bought .20 oz for $1.19, nice whole leaves in a small cellophane (?) bag.

A small item, others available in that line. Heck, if I could save that much on others items, I'd be rich.

$6 gets me one of those huge plastic bottles that hold like a quart of bay leaves at one of the Asian stores. I probably need to replace it. Whats left is a couple years old now. I don't nornally buy herbs and spices at grocery stores. If I do it's bulk at Winco. Prices for bottles is highway robbery

Ive thought about that. I can wheel it into the greenhouse for winter now

For me, the expense of $6 is better than buy a bush & nurture it. Primarily since the container provides more than my needs for a couple of years. I've made myself look harder at need/effort/cost in a better light. Like not devoting space to grow something I eat sparingly. Garden math, toil efforts.

Exactly! I bought a car trunk full of seasoned, split firewood yesterday. The seller primarily sells to folks camping at the nearby state park. In the grand scheme of things, the price was way high. But you know, I didn't have to do anything but unload and stack it. We'll only have a few fires this fall anyways. Yes, I have a source of wood on the part of the property across the road in an emergency.

Working a full time job and everything else requires my choices to be made per my evaluations. For everyone else, YMMV. Not all of us have the circumstances (money, health, time, ability, etc) to be able to do everything 100% on our own. We do the best we can
