@corsaire – will be thinking of you.
Just went to church today – but it was a very good Sunday because daughter was able to come with us. It’s been about 6 weeks since she’s been able to go.
Had a talk with some other members at the potluck lunch about making a run to an Amish discount grocery I’ve seen in a town about 40 minutes from here. I have never been, but a couple of the church members have found incredible buys at these types of stores, and they want to find things for the church food pantry as well. Evidently, these stores buy up food that is near its expiration date really cheap, and then resell it really cheap. We had some food at last week’s potluck that was delicious – $6 worth of frozen meatloaf fed about 30 people with a bunch left over, and it was perfectly good. Evidently it came from an Amish discount grocery in Iowa, where a few of our members had traveled. So now I’m going to have to go take a look at the one nearby and see if there’s anything there that would be good for prepping, too.
