We are sitting at the kitchen table on Monday October 5, 2009. Russ just tricked me and told me it was my day to do the dishes. He does them on the "odd" days and I do them on the "even" days. (I lucked out because some months have more odd days....but I haven't said anything to him about that yet - hopefully he doesn't realize this........)
Anyway - here we are. 11 days and counting. We went grocery shopping today and started gathering food for the trip down. Russ mentioned that he felt like he was a chipmunk - gathering for the winter.
Coffee was the commodity of choice today. We bought 4 large containers. Russ estimated that 1 container lasts 3 weeks. Now we have 3 months worth of coffee. The reasoning behind this of course was the price of coffee in Florida. I think it was close to $10 per container. We paid $6.00 today. Yes we saved only $16 dollars but just think if we did that over and over again.
Our next trip to the grocery store - we are going to stock up on cracker barrell cheese. The price in Florida is $6 to $8 per block of cheese. At the store in Seabrook today it was 2 for $4.00. Lets see, if we purchase 10 blocks of cheese we will be saving $50. (Add that to the coffee and we have just purchased enough gas for the RV to travel from NH to Foxwoods!)
So this ends our first blog. We will be adding more posts as the days go by. Letting everyone know what is going on as we get closer to our departure. And updating as we make our way to FL. And of course telling all about our adventures when we get there.
Thanks for coming along for the "ride".
By the way - this is a pic of our "home on the road"
