Yesterdays Shopping trip results.
Yesterday I went shopping. Unfortunately, this time we didn't need much, so the opportunities to find savings weren't very many. We don't buy stuff just because it's a deal. Doing that just leads to waste if it happens to be something we don't use often. I did manage to save about $10.15 on some cheese croissants and pizza-type buns, though, so it wasn't a total disappointment. I got some half-price goodies to nibble on while I work on Skool😁 That brings me to my point: not every shopping trip is going to be a massive saver. They don't have to be. Sometimes $5 here and $10 there can be just as successful. Every dollar counts, and they add up. It's something to remember the next time you go shopping, and it seems like the savings aren't there. Sometimes it happens. Don't get discouraged and try not to "deal buy" just because it's a good price. If you don't think you'll use it soon and it might go to waste... leave it on the shelf, rack, or hook unless it's free...

Also, beware. If necessary, bring a calculator, because often the "deal" isn't a deal at all. I find that calculating price per unit saves me more than reading "sale" tags. When I lived in Sweden, I loved the standard practice in stores of marking price per unit on all the tags. For instance, a carton of eggs would show you the carton price and the price per egg. Coffee would show the package price, and the price per gram. It made saving money through comparison shopping very easy.
Courseware Update.
Hi all! Yesterday was a great learning day for me despite being incredibly frustrating. As I had mentioned earlier in the week, some videos were due to be posted in the courseware material. I've since learned that these will need to re-recorded to be smaller file sizes. It appears the Skool system and my not so fast internet connection do not play nice together. After several tries, i was unable to successfully upload the videos planned to the courseware. I will be re--recording these as soon as I get the opportunity to go shopping and get some stuff that can be used for the videos. I do apologize, this was a largely unseen issue and I will rectify it as soon as I can. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and let y'all know I haven't forgotten about the videos. I hope everyone has a great week end!

Could you compress the files or use a slightly lower resolution in rendering?
Hold the Mayo - Home made Mayonnaise
Do you like mayonnaise but find that you don't use a store-bought jar fast enough to keep it from spoiling? If you do, this quick and easy recipe might be the solution for an as-needed option. To make it, you'll need the following: 1 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon Mustard a high-speed mixer or immersion blender. Simply put all the ingredients into an appropriately sized container to accommodate your mixer and whip until the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise. Feel free to adjust the lemon juice, salt and mustard to taste. As mentioned, by @Terence Vezina olive oil can be substituted for a healthier option Enjoy!

@Roy Houston the only things I use veg oil for is waterproofing my work boots, quenching, and as cutting oil.

@Roy Houston not very often. Of course, I'm not doing nearly as many knives as I was a few years ago.
Savings add up!
$17.52, that's what we saved on our shopping trip JUST on chicken and sausages. That's not counting the savings we had from other items and promotions. A little bit here, a little bit there. It all makes a difference. What could you do with an extra $17.52? Hit me up in the comments with your answers!

@Roy Houston I buy all my tickets used. There's and old guy outside the liquor store who sells them half price. I have to admit, I haven't had much luck with them...

But seriously, that much money can buy three baby chickens.
