The Day After
Today is the day after my magnificent toss from my bike. Even though I got the arnica gel to the damaged area pretty quick, I seem to have missed part or all of the area that hit the ground. I do have an ugly black and blue. Other parts of my body also hurt and show signs of brusing...places I didn't now were involved in the accident. So...I'll be colorful for a week or so. :)
Compromising
I have certain brand name products that I buy all the time. In most cases I have tried the store brand, but those products just didn't taste good. What's the sense of buying cheaper foods if they will wind up being tossed.
Today I was in desperate need of mayonnaise. I happen to like Hellmann's with olive oil. When it's on sale, I will buy at least 2 jars and hope it lasts until the next sale. It hasn't been on sale in a while and this morning the cost was $4.59. No way will I pay that much for mayo.
The compromise was I did buy the store brand. It doesn't have olive oil in it but at least it was only $2.49 for a 30 oz. jar...which is the same size as the Hellmann's. It had better be good because I can't afford to toss it out.
Another compromise was bread. My preferred brand name hasn't been on sale for a while either. I was going to scout the bread aisle to see what was on sale when I came across a package of onion rolls on sale...right in front of the deli counter. This is a substitute I know I will like. Some days you win and lose. :)
