Interview & A Life Hack

Monday, May 12, 2008

Had my picture took by a very nice young lady photographer from the L.A. Times over at the La Brea 99Cent Store in L.A.  She followed me around, as I shopped & explained what sort of deals you can find there in food - There is so much more fresh produce than there used to be! And the deals in sauces and condiments like ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, vinegar and real Chinese soy sauce.

This article is getting bigger & bigger (the thriftyfun folks were interviewed, too).  It will be fun to see what it will turn out like...

Life Hack - AS I was getting dressed for the shopping expedition, couldn't find any of the 1/2 stockings I wear when it's chilly & I am wearing jeans.  So I put into action an idea that's been in the back of my mind for a while - I found some old pantyhouse, and cut off the legs 3/4 the way up the leg - and  then, not finding any large rubber bands to hold them up - I cut off another section of panyhose leg, cut it in 1/2 and then tied up my stocking with that (on each side). 

It's the old way of holding up stockings!  I thought of it because of a period movie I watched on cable the other night.  And I am wearing them now & it's working just fine.  I wonder how long it will be until they run...but the sock ones can't be worn more than a couple of times anyway & they run about $1 a piece.  So maybe this will help me have more on hand and also solve the problem of the pantyhose I get stuck with that just doesn't fit.

Pantyhouse only came around in the late 60's, you know!
