I just lurve how you cannot abide the President so much that you refuse to capitalize his surname.
Fair thee well.

To capitalize it, I have to press and hold the shift key. he's not worth the trouble.

I’ve noticed the same on Amazon for certain items. I use a price tracker to watch them.



Buying in bulk is the lone way to bring it down save growing/raising your own. Portions are the way to go. The price per pound is low. And the meat’s organic, grass-fed, etc.

We’ve shifted to a buying service for the rest. Save produce. I’ll grind my own flour instead. We’re swapping rice for ancient grains. Once we use up what we have that’s it. There’s no cost saving but its healthier and more filling.

There’s a lot of stuff you can DIY. We make our own laundry detergent to lessen the chemicals. I’m resuming soap making for similar reasons.

Making things yourself brings expenses down. And you get better products. Many are addicted to convenience. Going green was eye opening. I didn’t expect to save money. But I do.

Care to share your laundry detergent recipe?

The original was posted on TipNut years ago. I use the same process as Wellness Mama.

Fels-Naptha for soap.
Oxy for color boosting.
Lavender essential oil.
White vinegar to rinse.
Wool balls for the dryer.

I purchased bluing recently and will use it on whites in the future.

Right now biden is more interested in just getting the democrats to work together in order to exploit the pandemic to do his "build back better" (Great Reset) plan. Good thing there are a couple of them with a conscience to put a stop to it. At least for now.

"Build Back Better" is mostly infrastructure projects, something most experts agree are needed to improve American competitiveness. Roads and bridges in the US are literally crumbling.

Who needs bridges? Who needs infrastructure? Republicans seem to just want to burn the bridges....

I hope they have money for the ferryman.

Infrastructure
Thanks for showing that you ignored the context. Go back and read the post I responded to, and that might help.

This is a simple question. Yes, simple. It was for infrastructure. Simple question, simple answer.

If it has more context, it is probably better to rephrase the question so it makes sense, and then you may receive a more contextual answer. Syntax is easy if one uses the proper words. Other than that, I don't see anything else in that cryptic sentence.

All that without referencing the post I responded to.
