52/441: I Think Not

This week's Safeway ad is not great, but there are a few decent items on sale so I'll be able to make do. It will be a good time to order a couple of pricey things I don't usually get, like a bottle of Castile soap. I want to see if it treats my fingers better than the other stuff I use. I'm tired of needing gloves even to bathe, and I'm certainly tired of having the skin on my fingertips act like I had leprosy. Last night I had to peel some garlic and the raw fingertips hurt like hell from the volatile garlic compounds.

I'm also totally out of brandy, which is a costly item I have to buy when there aren't a lot of regular groceries I need. The Christian Brothers stuff I prefer (it's pleasant to drink and not outrageously expensive) is on sale, for about 20% off the usual price, so an opportune moment. Maybe it's a good thing this week's ad was rather weak. No pun intended, I don't think. Of course I don't think anyway, most of the time. And now, dinner, to make a bit more room in the refrigerator.
