As an old fashioned guy, I’d like to give you a money saving tip: keep a ‘pricing book.’ Buy yourself a mini notepad. Gentlemen, one small enough to fit into your pocket. And ladies, small enough to fit into your pocketbook (that’s what we call a purse or handbag around these parts). Your grandma—or great grandma—probably kept one of these. The ladies of yesteryear knew where the cheapest item was at every store in town. Every grandma knew where to get the cheapest meat and flour down to the cent. Especially luxury items like chocolate, sugar, coffee, and tea. The idea is simple. Every time you go shopping, write down the prices of your most commonly items at that store. Think about your needs: * Ground beef, steak, whole chicken, milk, cream, eggs, coffee, butter, potatoes, strawberries—pretty much anything you buy regularly Then compare those prices between the stores you regularly shop at, and like most people, you’ll probably have 3-5 stores at which you regularly shop. Compare those prices. Maybe one store has cheaper meat, but another has cheaper produce. One place might have expensive canned goods but excellent prices on dairy. Over time, you start learning the “real” price of things instead of just trusting sale signs and you’ll know EXACTLY where to get it. That’s the real power of a pricing book. After a while, you’ll be able to walk through a store and instantly recognize a genuine bargain versus fake markdowns and inflated “sales.” The important thing is to compare unit prices whenever possible: * price per pound * price per ounce * price per roll * price per sheet A giant package is not always cheaper. And just ONE more thing you should consider. If Martha’s market has this item cheaper, but Gary’s Grocery has that item cheaper, you need to ask yourself if it is worth your time and the gas to go between the stores. For one or two items, it’s probably not. But if you’re being 20 items at Martha’s Market for the cheaper price, and then 15 items at Gary’s Grocery, it very likely is you’ll be saving a good chunk of change. Me? I’m always on the hunt for the cheapest meat and cheapest coffee! People today rely on apps and advertisements, but this old system worked for generations because it was simple, practical, and honest. A little notebook and a pencil can save you a surprising amount of money over the course of a year. Hope this advice from your ole dad on 𝕏 helps. Now go away.

PEER-REVIEWED PAPER SAYS GENETICALLY ENGINEERING TICKS TO SPREAD MEAT ALLERGIES IS “MORALLY OBLIGATORY” Western Michigan professors claim that CRISPR-edited ticks should be used to spread alpha-gal syndrome as “moral bioenhancement” to FORCE humans away from eating meat. This sounds like bioterrorism dressed up as bioethics. CDC estimates that as many as 450,000 people in the United States may already be affected by alpha-gal syndrome. Think about what is being proposed here: deliberately developing genetically modified ticks to spread a potentially life-threatening meat allergy that may already affect nearly half a million Americans.

Anyone know what kind of snake this is??? Please tell me it’s not venomous. 😖
