As in 3 loads of laundry finished, now we are not counting folding the laundry. That is because “No laundry shall be folded before it’s time.” 1 bag of trash and 2 bags of recycling out which equals 3. And most importantly 3 chores finished around the house. Alas, that did not include my knitting. I did not complete any knitting projects today. I can say that I am almost finished with another scarf.
The day also hit an interesting note. The grocery store up the hill from us has decided to do an upscale makeover. Really does anyone really need an upscale bohemian grocery store when they are looking for their Orville Redenbacher popcorn? I looked all over the store for it. Turns out the country’s best selling popcorn is no longer good enough for them. I also got the you aren’t the right fit for our grocery store look. All they had was some upscale $15.00 a bag popcorn from back east. They have also gotten rid of most of the made in Tucson or Arizona products. It’s a-shame because most of the hotels drop their guests off at the mall to do some shopping. In my humble opinion people flying in from the east coast don’t want to buy, what they can get at home cheaper to give as gifts. Something made in Tucson or Arizona would sell faster.
They also did something that I have never seen before at any meat or fish counter. They weighed my purchase, but did not print the tag. Then they wrapped up my purchase in a lot of butcher paper, more than they use to use. Weighed my purchase again and then proceeded to print the tag. So what ever the meat or fish cost per pound, I was paying the same price for the paper per pound. Most stores figure in the cost of the paper into overhead, which is fair. That really has me tempted to look up the state law on that. Maybe even proceed with it.
My usual summer sundress with an oversized cover up and silly socks was not appropriate wear by the looks that I got from the staff. It’s summer in Tucson, we do not get dressed to the 9’s to go grocery shopping. Come to think about it, we never get dressed to the 9’s to shop in the winter either. Are they going to be disappointed if they expect us to dress up to shop.
The popcorn solution was to make an online order at Walmart to be delivered tomorrow. It’s worth paying the delivery fee not to leave the house and get some extra rest. I might have over done it today.
