shopping


I went to wal-mart yesterday and bought food. I found turkeys for 40 cents a pound. I bought 2. When have you seen meat at this price? Chicken Thighs for 1 dollar a pound. No wander the Tyson works are getting shorted on their hours.
I saw something in the egg department that took my breath away. Brown eggs for 3.75 a dozen. I have 5 dozen in my frig. this morning. I don't know that anyone would be foolish enough to give this price when the white eggs were 2 dollars a dozen but if they would I would be rolling in the dough since my hens laid 12 eggs yesterday. Brown eggs taste just like white eggs, no difference they just have a good sun tan.
I bought something just for me as I was out of reading material and didn't have the strength to go to the library after wal-mart. I got 2 books, author Jonathan Kellerman. I really like his books and found 2 that the library didn't have. Kellerman is well worth reading if you like murder and mayhem books. I will have books for 2 days and Monday when I can visit the library again.
If you want the 40 cent turkeys you had better go shopping today. I am sure they wont last long.

If we could get you some buyers for those brown eggs at $3.00 a dozen you would be rich. but I bet you do like me. I give my away and spend $40 a month on feed. I think we are paying a high price for our eggs. Larry has started my new chicken pen in the meadow. I have to go to my old house now and feed them. I get 3 or 4 eggs a day. Usually 3 brown and 1 or 2 bantie eggs.

I wish you lived next door. I wouldn't pay $3.75 a dozen, but I'd gladly pay $2 just to have fresh eggs with bright orange yolks.

I would buy eggs from you in a minute Patsy. I don't pay for the brown ones in the store but I like the brown ones best. Like Donna, I love the bright orange yolks. I bet you could sell them easy. Glad you got something for yourself. We all need to splurge once in a while! Have a good week.
