I can remember when I first started using software to track every single expenditure. I had sort of believed that I'd been using my personal funds as votes in the marketplace. For some reason, I thought that I spread my money around widely. It was a little shocking, at first, to realize that over an average month most all my cash ended up going to the same few businesses.
In general, most people have few receipts from new establishments. Maybe this is why I think the Bulk Barn is worthy of a whole blog entry today. We returned to Queensborough Landing this morning expressly to revisit the new food store. My jaw didn't drop quite as far open as when we first stepped inside. I still loved seeing all those bins full of every conceivable type of nut, candy, bean, rice, snack food, baking ingredient, pasta, and spice. This outlet is pretty new although I guess the chain stretches across Canada.
Finally! I have a new vendor to add to my aged copy of MS Money.
