And relax...

Woke up feeling a lot better today, so we were able to get a lot of critical stuff done.  The quaterly run to CostCo being item 1, which was done with little fuss and has led to a nicely restocked basement.  We could probably survive a month on canned goods now, so I think I'll stop now.  Still since we started doing this our take-out and eating out frequency has dropped through the floor.  Which is good.

I do need more water though, just for the emergency kit.  I'll get some...

After Costco we headed off to the petshop for the treats and food run - the dogs are sorted now which is good.

Now it's relax time on the couch with a stack of DVDs and a hot drink.

Later all.

Tomorrow I may tackle the laundry and the office.

mmmm canned goods.

Yup. It came as a surprise to me to find that I could buy beans, tomatoes and the like at Costco for about a quarter of what I was paying at the supermarket. And, as they effectively last forever it made a lot more sense to buy cheap bulks of the stuff we use all the time and keep it downstairs.

The impact having "instant" ingredients always available has had on our eating habits has been dramatic especially living here where food is always just a phone call away. It's also more shocking when you look at how much some of these staples cost in a conventional supermarket here compared to somewhere like Costco.

Or to put it another way, I bought a 15lb bag of spuds for less than a 5lb one at the supermarket...
