Grocery purchases at the Super Ahorros included fresh string beans for one meal at a cost of US$0.03, a large avocado for $0.37, and eggs are $0.10 each. Yes we purchased other necessities of mouthwash, shampoo, 4 whole wheat bran fresh bread rolls, 2 liters of juice, 3 new white potatoes, 1 yam, 3 mandarin oranges, 1 onion, 1 can of tuna, 1/4 kilo of ground local coffee, a bulb of fresh garlic, 4 fresh tomatoes, the reddest large pepper you can imagine, 3 limes, and a small bag of shell pasta. No sweet bakery this time. All for 12 USD. Seemed inexpensive to us, for many good things. We like to buy for only 2-3 days at a time, that way food is fresher, and what do we have to do other than walk to the grocery store. All unlike US where we keep a full freezer and shop only once a month.
And did it finally rain? Oh my yes, if you can call the heavens opening up and dumping it all out at one time yesterday late afternoon. What a rain! Think one would have been injured if he had been outside. Only lasted for a short time, then we got a slower steady sort of rain later into the evening, along with some rolling thunder (which we rarely hear in Anacortes). We enjoyed it all. Today is overcast and rained lightly early, seems to be drying up now.
Thank you Sally for the pictures of the effects of the Anacortes house break-in. What these pictures accomplished is that we can see that we should start discarding a great deal of unneeded stuff. All we can see that is missing is the prescription meds, maybe a couple older cameras and the Wii set. Hope it was worth their time and sore foot from kicking in the front door along with a try at Dan's office door. Chances are that six months from now, when looking for something, we will find it missing. So be it----------life thankfully goes on.
