I used to be in a similar supervisor position years ago. I stepped down, because I didn't think the money was worth the aggravation. Now

I retired as a manager in order to boost my pension but I hated the job. The stress shortened my overall career and made hate the company for a while.

The smartest tradesman I worked with should have been a supervisor but his mantra was “the financial gain is not worth the mental strain”.

My wife turned down an offer for a nursing supervisor position for the same reason..

Was just looking at an unopened bag of Doritos at a party recently…$7.29.  😱

 

That being said, I don’t do a lot of grocery shopping, so for all I know, that is the norm for many different products.

Yeah, 'sales' can be your friend. 

When I shop, I rarely buy stuff that isn't on sale, especially when those items go on sale on a regular basis and there is a big difference in price.  When you shop every week, you start to understand the trends.  When something we use is on sale, I stock up on a bunch of them and it gets stored in the pantry, basement, or back of the freezer. I can't imagine shopping for groceries any other way.

Yet, our daughter and her boyfriend....they just buy whatever they want regardless of the price.  If they had a bag or doritos every week, they simply buy one per week. The week they are on sale, do they buy more? Nope, its like they don't even look at prices at all, they look at what they want and in the cart it goes.

That’s pretty much everything in the stores.

Where to start //

A good friend and neighbour passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.  That's as good a place as any, I suppose.

Did an Ancestry DNA test hoping for some tangy news based on some long time family stories.

While I’m not all that surprised, based on my mom’s track record of telling her version of history, it turns out I’m even whiter than I thought.

Really not sure how I got so funky on the bass.
