Inflation is on a runaway train. Gas prices here where I am in Central Texas are hitting $4.30/ $4.50 per gallon and groceries are off the charts. I have a huge backyard. I am digging it up and planting all the vegetables I can. With shopping at the farmer's market for eggs and veggies until mine come in, I fully intend to stay as far away from grocery stores as I can. I supplement my dog kibble with cooked sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, spinach, apples if I can get them, blueberries and boiled eggs. It is better for the dogs and makes the dog food go farther. I have Yaupon shrubs in my yard. I am drying the leaves for tea. Yaupon leaves contain caffine. I will ditch the commercial coffee.
I am putting up ceiling fans in my house. I have one already in the living room, both bedrooms and am now putting them in the halls and the dining room. I am learning to live with my thermostat set on 78 degrees. It isn't bad with the ceiling fans. Not great but comfortable.
Lets get to clothing. Thrift stores and remake. I refuse to buy polyester because it is nothing but spun plastic and hot as hell. And everything on the racks is polyester. So will be sewing and remaking from the thrift stores. I am cutting every corner I can. I hope it will be enough.
I am also emailing my senators, congressman, governor, lt governor and state senator and state representative and complaining loudly, very loudly. Everyone needs to do this. Everyone. We can't fix any of this if we don't hold them accountable.
