The Times They Are A Changing

I must admit, as much as I hate feeling “lack” of any kind, every week as I stand at the grocery store checkout counter and write the total for my groceries, I am astonished. It seems to be more every time I go. Some weeks it’s almost double what I paid last year at this time. On other occasions it’s at least 50% more. But those are on weeks that I’m really watching what I’m buying and mentally thinking of the dinner menu plan to include grilled cheese sandwiches or something with eggs. Nothing wrong with that. And, I’m not alone.

So, now when I see something on sale that we would ordinarily eat anyway, I stock up. Smarter shoppers have been doing that all along, so it’s nothing new to them. All of this got me to thinking about “free” things. Is there anything that’s still free?
