I had a pretty good (but exhausting) trip to Publix today. I stopped in two different stores and did two transactions at each one. The roommate had an extensive list of Thanksgiving items to buy and I had been chipping away at it, but I picked up most of her list today. She’s going to probably go to Aldi to pick up the last $10-$15 of items at some point in the next few days.
