Some things just bring me joy….free ammo (it happens), porn sites with easily hacked passwords, puppies, watching liberals discover the world isn’t what they thought it was, etc, etc. But two things that always soothe my soul are a) bargains and b) food. And sometimes, if the gods are smiling, a & b combine in one glorious moment.
Today? Apparently breakfast cereal was on sale. The real stuff, not the store-brand ‘almost as goods’. (Generic frosted flakes? “They’rrrrrrrrrrrrre…okay!”) So, with regular price being knocked down about 50% who wouldn’t stock up?
I know from experience that they’ll stay fresh in their sealed bags well into next year. And I’m the kind guy who, when he feels lazy and hungry, will just have a giant bowl of breakfast cereal for dinner.
More importantly, its part of the Alpha strategy – buy it cheap and stock it deep when prices are low. Way I reckon it, I’m good on breakfast cereal for the rest of the year.
Need more milk though……..
Milk?
That’s what those big Nestle cans of Nido, mixed with sweetened condensed milk are for. Lasts at least as long as the cereal, usually at least twice as long.
Also, learned the hard way that 99.9999% of any food product, from pasta to flour, is infected/infested with weevil eggs, larvae, etc..
Which is usually solved by a full day of placing said product in the freezer before storing on the dry goods shelves.
YMMV.
Cold cereal fer dinner ain’t “lazy”……it’s a paradigm shift!!!!!! Thinkin’ outside the BOX, as it were! Cost efficient, and all that.
A cow. You need a cow for more milk. That’s the ticket!
Just thinking how freaking hard it will to keep a cow, they eat a lot… And they are big smelly noisy animals, generally not a secret you have one in your back yard. Anddd it’s not like they are made of beef and starving people will try and steal or kill on the spot in the hopes of carving off some dinner. How many extra guards just to keep the milk cow safe!?
K. here,
“The Alpha Strategy” by James A. Pugsley for the win!.. I don’t think that nearly enough of our ilk have read him, copies are available usually for around less than $3 including shipping from used book sellers on amazon…
Heck, it’s free online with just a little bit of Google-Fu.
Yeah, I know but only kind-of. I didn’t mention it as the pdf. versions(at least the ones I’ve seen passed around), were only 99 pages worth, and had some content IIRC as well as all of the proposed shopping lists, the glossary, etc., missing. The hardcover is 234 pages.
