So, around the 12th of this month we had Prime Day. That concerned me. You see, I'm a sucker for a bargain. I finally made some rules for Marci. I could only buy one thing. My one thing had to be on my list of saved items (my wished list). I had to justify the purchase as something needed, money saving, or beneficial for the future. And I had to save more than 10%.
So, what was my one thing you ask. Well, I bought a peeler/corer. You all know I broke my wrist about 2 years ago. Reasons I bought this thing: peeling stuff (like apples or potatoes) causes a lot of pain in my wrists; 2) I'd really like to be able to make applesauce, apple butter, apple pie filling, dehydrated apple slices,etc without pain. 3) I keep buying potatoes and then throwing a bunch of them away; if I didn't have to peel them, I could can them, shred them, fry them, and so on. I hate throwing away food.
So, I caught this thing on sale for 24% off, making it about $15, which put it within range of my teeny tiny budget. And I figure it will help me be more efficient with some of the food I buy, thus saving me money in the long run. Now I want to catch some apples on sale...........
