This is the Day

I enjoy buying eggs at Aldi. Last year I watched the price of eggs at Aldi climb right along with the price of gasoline, from 69 cents to 99 cents to 1.39 to 1.99. As soon as gasoline prices began to plumet, the price of eggs at Aldi fell, too. Last week they had returned to the low price of 64 cents a dozen, so I bought 6 dozen. I especially enjoy opening the package, where Psalm 118:24 greets me: This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Sugar has also returned to a low price of 1.05, so I bought 5 five pound bags. Sugar had also doubled in price in recent months. The neat thing about stocking up when prices are low is that when prices temporarily rise, you won't have to buy as much at the higher price. I only had to buy 1 or 2 bags of sugar at the temporarily inflated price before sugar fell to a more reasonable price.
