I decided it might be fun to answer random questions about me, our homeschool, whatever.
Here are my questions so far:
Question 1-
What kind of printer do you use?
Epson WorkForce 845 Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer {link is to Staples, where I bought it.}
I love it. It isn’t laser, but the ink lasts FOREVER and it comes with the high-capacity cartridges in the box.
Question 2-
What kind of pencil sharpener do you use?
Pencil sharpener? Seriously? The sound of six kids using the pencil sharpener makes me want to say the kind of words I heard as a kid. {Sorry mom, it’s true.} I threw out the electric pencil sharpener, and instead went on the hunt for the perfect mechanical pencil.
If you have been around here at all, you know I have a slight office supply addiction… who else takes an Instagram like this:
Back to the perfect mechanical pencil, which takes away the need for a maniacal sharpener. I chose the Postscript pencil from Staples. {I really should get something from them…}
These pencils are 0.7, with a lovely writing surface, and feel good in your hand. I buy them all the time, and won’t buy any other.
Question 3-
Grocery shopping tips please!
There might not be a ? involved, but I will count it just the same.
Make a menu.
-Check to see what you have on hand/what you need to buy.
-Take the list with you. {It won’t help you at home, trust me.}
-Only buy what is on the list.
-I don’t “coupon” or shop around. I go to Walmart and the local grocery store. I would go to an organic place if we had one, but we don’t.
-Only shop the aisles that sell real food. {This reduces both choices and time needed to shop.} We shop the edges of the store, hitting up the butter, yogurt and cheese, as well as meat and produce. We do slip in for some tea and EVOO and vinegar, as well as spices and grains.
-Good food isn’t cheap, but packing the cart full of junk is bad for your body and your wallet. Just say no.
Do you have any other questions? I’d be happy to answer them!
