That’s what ours was too, the kind that goes into water coolers but it was plastic, not glass. It still exploded when I dropped it though LOL

Thankfully chicken is still low for me (used to be .69 cents a lb on sale, now .99) but holy hell, ground beef is like unobtainable anymore. They want nearly $6 a lb for the 70% ground beef and I just can’t ever justify it. We’ve mainly just been living on chicken, and pork when there are good sales, but yeah lots of meatless meals.

Electricity has been noticeably going up for me as well and its quite honestly insane. I live in a single-wide trailer with 1 other adult, we’re not running heat or AC right now because its spring, we have been actively trying to conserve energy because of how high the bills are so we’re making sure to turn stuff off, I unplugged my deep freezer and consolidated to just the fridge, I only do full loads of laundry, with cold water, etc. My electric bill is still over $300!

I feel like we’re living like cavemen and we’re still somehow using $3000+ of electric, I don’t get it.

Fun memory I just had: My dad was a penny picker and would empty his pockets at the end of the day into one of those blue 5-gallon water jugs that he kept right at the front door by the stairs. One time when it was full, I was trying to be slick and take a lil, and knocked the jug down the stairs where it broke and pennies cascaded down them like a waterfall of copper. Dad was pissed at first but then found it funny. Whats even more funny, is that we didn’t clean it up for months, we just had penny stairs, and I swear he would come home and just throw his new pennies right on the stairs. He probably would have kept it that way forever but I cleaned it up as a surprise while he was gone one day.
