I have let this one go for a few weeks. No great reason why but things got sort of busy when I traveled for that week and I got out of the pattern of it.
Over the last couple weeks we got a bunch of clothes at the thrift store. I got a pair of nice fleece jackets for 50 cents each.
Whatever money out of our entertainment fund we have not spent has been going toward the goal of stashing some more Euro's. At some point we will pull the difference out of the bank but at 10-20 Euro's a week over the course of the year it will be easier on the budget than just grabbing it all at once.
We got a bunch of flour as well as sugar and salt at the store plus some peanut butter and jelly.
Got a couple of interesting books at the library. One on war in European history, another on Pakistan and a third that is by Thomas Friedman, the title of which escapes me.
Really got the Grundig up and running. Will talk more about that later.
Today we saw running shoes on sale for 50% off. They happened to be Asics which are the brand I wear exclusively. They had my size so we snagged a pair. I got a new pair recently so I will not need another for probably 4 months but for a bit over $36 instead of $72 snagging my next pair was an easy decision. One of the real benefits of having a few bucks lying around is that you can take advantage of that sort of thing.
Well it has been a pretty decent couple weeks.
What have you been up to?

Not a comment but a question. What if any is the advantage in Euro's over silver rounds or bars?
Thank you,

I don't suppose the Aasics sale is online, is it? That's the same brand I run in and mine are getting worn out.

Hamyheadmp, The advantage is that i live in Europe. In America we kept cash on hand in order to be able to purchase whatever we happen to need in an emergency where access to normal banking is disrupted. Now that we live in Europe we are stocking up on some Euro's. Otherwise I would not bother.
Chris, Sorry but it wasn't.
1.) Bought dehydrated hash browns (yeah!)
2.) Bought mini-suture kit (need to get some instructions on how to suture in an emergency - any input welcome)
3.) Preparing for coming inflation

Not much on the finacal front,but I have hit my goal of 90-days food, got a new industrial flip top container(freebie from work)and got yet another pack of rechargeble AA batteries.
Bought more batteries. More canned goods & bottled water. Small sewing kit for BOB. Paid off some debt & added some cash to the vault. “Reading One Second After”. Back was sore this week, so I’ve been taking it easy. I have the Grundig 350 radio too, let me know your results. I bought the clip on real antenna, but a bit disappointed. Need to play with it more perhaps.
