Dancing the price tango

As everywhere else, prices have skyrocketed over here since the beginning of the pandemic, too. So, people who want - or need - to be careful with their expenses have to look where to buy their groceries. We are not exactly poor, but we used to be for a long time, so this has become second nature for us. Which is a good thing because that way we save our money to spend it on things we don't need but enjoy nonetheless.

Yes, I know, I lead a depressingly boring life. But at least I bought some (completely unnecessary) craft supplies - namely the equivalent of washi tapes - and later on my friend Alex called for a "brief" phone chat (58 minutes, 16 seconds, according to my phone), which was absolutely lovely. Now I've been given all the newest gossip where our school is concerned. *g*

Oh, and the guy who was supposed to visit yesterday (but obviously forgot that little detail) called today, saying that he'd come now. Mum cancelled the visit, saying that I was ill. I hope the fates won't make that excuse true - I was ill, after all, and we still can't imagine what the guy might want from us.
