Almost Out of Salt

posted by:

This is the third snowfall that we have had this winter and the county where I live just announced that they are almost out of salt.  This means that the back roads will be dangerous with snow and ice until the sun melts them because there is not enough salt to cover all the roads.

I think this is irresponsible and bad planning on the part of the highway department or who ever is in charge of ordering salt. We should be able to have enough on hand to get through the worst winter, not the lightest.

Coupons

posted by:

The best part of the Sunday newspaper is the grocery coupons. If the newspapers go out of business, where will I get all the store advertisements and the money saving coupons?

I can always find coupons for things that I like to buy, so I can save 50 cents or a dollar on each of the items for just the little bit of time it takes to cut it out and put it in my wallet to take to the store. Most grocery shopping is an exercise in price comparison and figuring out value between brands and sizes. So I enjoy taking a wallet of coupons with me and saving even more money at checkout.
