Wow.

An article in the Wall Street Journal says that it might be a better use of your money to stock your pantry, than any other short-term investment.

We all know how much our grocery bill has gone up in the last year or so. Stocking our pantries (especially with the "sale" items every week) seems a natural for us with families--it's What We Do.

But equating it with getting a Much Better Return on your money than the interest you'd earn with a CD?

As the German guy used to say on Laugh-in:

Interesting. Ver-r-ry interesting.

I wanted to thank you for the information about the book fair. I had thought about going to it, but when it comes to buying the gas, I decided not to go. Someone gave me some math books, and that is what I was looking for anyway. It's hard to justify spending a tank of gas when my truck only gets 14 miles to the gallon.

Have a good day,

Oh goody, I can't wait to tell my husband that I'm investing in our future. I know sometimes when I return home with bags and bags and bags of stuff he wonders, I'm sure. The other day he looked in the bathroom closet and saw bottles and bottles of shampoo and conditioner and said, "I guess shampoo was on sale, huh?" I REALLY take advantage of sales and coupons and stock up. I'm glad to see the Wall Street Journal is finally seeing the value in things that God knew all along. The wise ant stores its provisions in summer!
