Our television went out. We had it for years, so I drove down to Walmart just south of Sandpoint. I got the same size, but the new television was less. Plus, I got a few other things. Like avocados, 77¢ each (Sketch for minesweepers and seaplane – Date 1917/1919 – Style Art Nouveau, expressionism – Genre marina, sketch and study)
I had planned to load up some of my artist trading cards. My camera battery is dead. Amazon seems to have the best price on batteries. I can't see myself totally not using Amazon, but there are other places to shop. Here is a list of BILLIONARE AT TRUMP'S INAUGURATION. On the other hand, we're not short of batteries at this time.

I don't know what our dear leader will be entirely doing with tariffs. The only I know is that the consumer will see an increase in many things. I recall my parents telling me about the ration of items during World War II. I have been trying to find out what and how much the ration was. I found out each person got 8 ounces of sugar a week. Then coffee was at the rate of 1 pound for 5 weeks. And depending on your job, how much gas you get in a week. Both Murphy and I are coffee drinkers. How much coffee do we go through? I watch for the sale on coffee. Last Thursday, they had a little under 3 pounds of can for $5.98. We got two cans.

I washed out the main bathroom sink and the kitchen sink. I also cleaned out two of my clothing drawers, which hold things like my undergarments. I also found some money. Later, I will do the other drawers and daily chores. For dinner tonight, we're having a tuna fish sandwich and, I think, kidney beans.(Harbour defence, winter – 1918/1919 – Style Realism, Expressionism, ink and wash painting – Media lithograph)

I like the art today. Great, just what we need, more price increases.
ReplyDeleteAmazon is just so easy for some things. It's hard to stop using them entirely.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Canada is returning the tariff favour. Trump says that people won't mind the extra costs as it is all for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteThe tariffs are a concern in Canada
ReplyDeleteHow to kill an economy in one easy lesson; impose tariffs on all your trading partners.
ReplyDeleteTarget tariffs that protect a specific industry can work. Broad tariffs on all your trading partner ps are a recipe for disaster
Do have fun playing with your new tv.
ReplyDelete...a few years ago we got a new TV, it was fairly inexpensive, but to complex!
ReplyDeleteI watch TV on my right monitor, our TV is up as give-away.
ReplyDeleteYes. Let´s what else goes more expensive now...
My mother used to talk about the WWII rations and how some people gamed the system and got more, especially for gasoline. I guess there were just plain no tires for civilian use at all so there was a big market for used tires.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post ~ thanks,

I like the art. We are in for a bad time, I do believe.
ReplyDeleteI like to use Amazon too. My Tv is fairly new but I do need to buy a new laptop.
ReplyDeleteI have the last of my late mother-in-laws WWII ration stamps. My mother was raised on a farm, and they didn't drive much. They saved up the gas stamps and drove to California when my mother finished high school. Knowing my grandfather, he parked the car and used a horse and cart during the war. He preferred horses to cars.
ReplyDeleteI do like the art you've shared here.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
