I was out running erands and stopped to pick up a few groceries. I didn't need much, just some bread and eggs. And while I was there, picked up some sparkling water (which my family enjoys) and some cheese and a few extra items. When I checked out, the bill came to over $50.
I looked at my receipt and at my cart and back at the receipt. How could this be $50? I remember filling an entire shopping cart for $50 - $75. I did the math and calculated 16 items x $3.13 average price each and yes, that's about $50.00.
The other odd thing were the eggs. There was a 2 per customer limit. That's TWO breakfasts for my family! The price was $2.15 which is pretty good these days, as they are upwards of $4 - $5 else ware. Perhaps that's why it's limit 2.
But what are these "supply challenges"? What are the supply challenges? I wonder if this has to do with the "cage free" thing going on in Michigan?
On my way home I filled up the car with fuel. I was pleased to find gas for under $3.00 which I haven't seen for a while. I really hope these prices can be sustained or even better yet, reduced!
Today is November 5th, 2024 Election day. It will be interesting to see what a grocery basket costs next year 2025, along with eggs and gasoline.

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
