Jewel clearance cart shopping

Frantic call from PITA that the CLEARANCE CART was out!  Yes, our lives are sadly limited.  Strange that it would show up this time of the year, especially since they’re not doing any resets during the holidays.  I picked up a couple of Brittany sea salt mills (from Italy) for only 49¢ and a rosemary take and bake loaf ’cause these are awesome.  No picture, but an entire shelf or more was full of flour tortillas for 27¢ with dates over a month out.  Very cheap quesadillas considering all the JFU cheese offers Jewel has been handing out.

Back at last

Short post and then back to deals.  I was in the hospital on the condemned floor from Monday through yesterday, and it was impossible to get online with anything over dial-up speed – honestly, they should call it WI-IF.  I call it condemned because the floor is being closed down within the next ten days and has never been modernized or updated; luckily FirstBorn had a screwdriver handy to tighten the light switch plates back to the wall, but the heat lamp timer???? well, that was completely pulled away from the wall and my suggestion of throwing water on it wasn’t seconded by my family 🙁  It literally took 20 minutes for the water in the shower to reach wash temperature (yeah, I timed it).  Maybe more later, but all the employees were super.

Mickey D’s for your car parts?

On Wednesday, McDonald’s and Ford Motor Company said they are joining forces to turn McDonald’s coffee bean waste into vehicle parts. Specifically, headlamp parts from Lincoln cars coming off the assembly line later this month will be made with chaff, skin waste created after roasting coffee beans.

The Chicago-based quick-service chain, who is working with Starbucks to fast-track the creation of a compostable cup, said the coffee bean project is part of a long-term commitment to find secondary uses for waste materials.  Article in Nation’s Restaurant News here.
