Cool weather temperature is what best described today's weather at 8 degrees centigrade at the island. It's not that cold even if the gas fireplace is acting up crazy. Thank God that we have electricity and our heater is on right now up to 15 degrees celsius. I turned off the heater thermostat in our bedroom because I don't like too much heat. I have an indoor gadget to monitor the temperature inside and outside. Once in a while my daughter has the electric fan on so that there is circulation of air in our house, in our room. When you are using computer there must be a cooling air around. You don't want having red face or having headaches.
Whatever. Did you know that cooking or roasting, baking food inside your oven is just like having gas fireplace? If your oven is being used you can turn off your gas fireplace to economize. Like if you are roasting beef for 2 hours or one hour depends on how big that chunk of meat. Roasting turkey for 3 hours? Better turn off your gas fireplace to minimize energy usage. That's how to be thrifty without being stingy.
What else helped us to be economically thrifty? Do you eat leftover food? You should. Leftover turkey or leftover roast beef are good until up to 3-5 days after its been cooked provided that you have them stored in the fridge and freezers. Turning roast meat for sandwiches or your favorite stews.
At lunch time: Prepare meals that are affordable. Buy frozen pizzas prized at $4/box each and heat/bake it in the convenience of your oven at home. That's good enough for a family of 4. Two slices of pizza is great for lunch. Beverage in form of juice drinks or pop soda or glass of water that's fine. You don't need pigging yourself at lunch time. Sandwich is good enough too. At dinner time. What is affordable for most families? First make sure you shop at your local supermarket and buy only meat, poultry products, dairy products, veggies and fruits that are priced lower or discounted. You just have to be economically wise. How you can have roast beef or roast chicken per week? By looking at flyers provided by supermarkets and find that out for yourself when those goods are out for purchase. Eat more nutritious food by choosing healthy foods.
Clothing. What are up for grabs when most of you shop through Amazon and online marketing breakthrough? What's left in department stores in your local community? Are we buying safe clothing and accessories out there if they are "recycled?" What are recycled clothes? Will it lower the price of clothes? How to find out if those clothes are recycled? Are the qualities of such clothing diminished because they are already recycled? If they are selling recycled clothing with the price same as the new originals then that's a total disgrace and devalued the consumers' rights. This is the same as refurbished computers, laptops and cellphones and televisions. You don't sell refurbished clothing and tech machines the same price as brand new!!!!!!!!!! There's a great distinction to a brand new from old ones. OMG! You should open your eyes. Watch TV NEWS and rely on news network when it comes to news reliability.
I wished clothing is cheaper than food. FOOD should always be cheaper than clothes. Or should have the same weight? Basic necessities should be inexpensive because it's BASIC.
What are basic necessities of humans? It's elementary. Have you ever remember that in Grade Schools when teachers always remind students that the BASIC NECESSITIES for mankind begins and ends with HOUSING, FOOD, CLOTHING, TRANSPORTATION, EMPLOYMENT. When you are employed you can buy the basic necessities in life. Your needs and wants extend to the limit you want to choose. You have choices. Limited needs and limited wants. Are you limitless?
In ECONOMICS. ECONOMICS is a social science that seeks to allocate human and non-human resources for their alternative use. In the 70's, the resources were already scarce. Scarcity of resources. Economics is a social science that seeks to allocate scarce human needs, human wants in order to facilitate living in a global economic condition in certain areas, in the environment where humans want to live as part of the civilized society. We are civilized in a very civilized country. We are educated and where to go from here? BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH? How many people are alive and how many people are dead? Statistics? Logistics.
Just like old times, have to be the cook at home. Sunday today, so I hope you all are religious and seek the faith you are born with. It is normal to seek help from God. You are nothing if you don't believe in GOD. I know, I know... religion without science is lame. Science without religion is blind. Or vice versa: Religion without science is blind, science without religion is lame.
