Eggs

Yep. The toilet paper shortage started over seas, in Italy I think, if memory serves... and it was a legitimate shortage due to manufacturing issues. People here heard about it a rushed out to buy while it was still on the self and went overboard, creating the shortage here. Some idiots even bragged about having a closet full of TP.

I joked about taking advantage of the situation. I couldn't do that.

I guess I'm one of those "idiots" too, only I didnt brag about it. I had well over a years supply of TP. To me that was just smart prepping. What's the difference between a closet full of TP or a closet full of canned food?

The difference is that we don't put undue strain on the supply chain in times of need, because we bought ahead of any shortages.

My only concern is that my family has what they need when or if things go south. Unfortunately we're giving away most of our TP stock because it isn't compatible with our septic system. So now we're starting over again.

Most stores offer a store card, it costs nothing and you use it every time you shop. If there are specials or deals on any of the items you purchase (which you should be looking for as you shop), using the card gets you the deal. Otherwise, no deal. That was how I got a dozen eggs for less than $2.

I have receipts from when Trump was #45, eggs were .48 cents! Gas receipts for $1.23 a gallon! I always keep a few landmark receipts. Like when gas was $4.45 thanks Obama, and I definitely have grocery receipts from 2024 (and '25)!!

Ink disappears on my receipts after a year or so. @Pearl

We always had a years tp. Didn't even buy any during covid, no reason to.

For that reason the wife bought a scanner so she can now scan all receipts.

I have pictures of "landmark" receipts! But my 'keepers' are in a plastic baggie and the ink is fine!!

Speaking of pampered chickens... Today at the store I first picked up two cartons of eggs that were from a vegetarian farm.They had a really cool sprayed on EB inside a circle, on each egg.

I know that brand..."Eggland's Best". Eggland's also sells free range eggs and pasture raised eggs, neither of which is vegetarian because the chickens eat bugs and worms.

Ironically, Eggland's claims those have "superior nutrition" LOL:

• Pasture Raised & Free Range Eggs with Superior Nutrition
• Our chickens eat better so you can, too
• More than Double the Vitamin B12, 10X More Vitamin E, 6X More Vitamin D Compared to Ordinary Eggs

If chickens don't get an amino acid called methionine from eating bugs and worms, then it has to be supplemented.

That's usually thermal paper receipts. I insisted on supplying ink receipt printers to our clients because the thermal printers used "disappearing ink" as I called it.

I figure the chickens would get 'supplements'. I'd much prefer they get them naturally. I will say they were good looking eggs. So good looking they seemed unnatural.
