We went to Wegmans in Hornell today which is our once a month trip. From Hornell, Buffalo, Williamsport and Erie I like Wegmans. We don't save money but having the beautiful clean store with employees that are above and beyond friendly and helpful is worth the drive. I also read a few months ago it is one of the top places to work. The produce is amazing, always fresh, no blemishes and cold. I did get ground beef today at $2.69 a pound, the package was 8 pounds, 80% lean. The milk,whole, 1%, 2%, skim is always $1.99 and frequently $1.49 a gallon. I think Wegmans is great for keeping the price of milk so low. Parents are more likely to buy it for the kids, (hoping they do). Another low price item is 1/2 gal. orange juice (fresh, not from sugary concentrate) which is always a low price of $2.49.
Living in a city to be near Wegmans and other shopping is not for me. Once a month is ok and living in our quiet small area and buying groceries here is more than ok.
We bought local grown sweet corn at 25 cents an ear, yellow summer squash, zucchini and a cantaloupe. We couldn't resist, our corn and squash will be a few weeks until ready. Supper was what it will be like for the rest of summer. More veggies and fruits, little to no meat. I slice the squash quite thin, dip it in buttermilk (makes it crunchy), then in flour and fry in canola or coconut oil, drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper while hot from grease, it sticks better. The corn I put in boiling salted water, bring it back up to a boil, cover and shut the fire off. Five minutes and it's done.
The day was too hot for us to be in the garden and it looks like the next few days will be evening gardening. Tonight we will be picking Swiss Chard, Kale and maybe some peas. Then a cup of coffee and let the chickens entertain us before they get shut in for the night. Unfortunately the coyotes are hanging around and a pair of Red Tail Hawks with a young one. It's that time of the year wild animals are teaching their young how to hunt. By the way, keep watch if you have dogs, the skunk are also on the move. My chickens are holding on, they spend most of the day under bushes and farm equipment. The coyotes we shoot given a chance but not the hawks.
