| schestowitz-pi2 | the compettion is intensifying | Apr 16 09:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | even at 7am | Apr 16 09:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | targeting the "best" vendors | Apr 16 09:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | whom we know how to check quickly | Apr 16 09:37 |
| techrights[sec]_ | biabv | Apr 16 09:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so we focused on non-foods today | Apr 16 09:37 |

| techrights[sec]_ | back | Apr 16 09:43 |
| techrights[sec]_ | that's inexpensive for coffee. is it palatable? | Apr 16 09:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it is considered "Expired" this year, but I can finished it all this year and it should taste ok | Apr 16 09:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | turns out the keyboard and mouse i got are half price, which is good enough | Apr 16 09:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | spare ones just in case | Apr 16 09:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we'll do proper inventory later and compute savings | Apr 16 09:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but either way the competition is catching up with us, moving goalposts | Apr 16 09:46 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Coffee near the best-sold-by date is perfectly ok assuming the product was | Apr 16 09:56 |
| techrights[sec]_ | ok when fresh; bad coffee is bad coffee regardless of age; same for good; | Apr 16 09:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | took me about 3 months to find this next batch of coffee | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | I'd have taken more boxes (they come in boxes with 8x227g) | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but want to taste first | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the competition aspect for food is worrying, as one can expect that | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | people look for info and word of mouth, as pying shelve price can be 10 p/p/day | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or 300 pp/month | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | *shelves' price (for _decent_ meal) | Apr 16 10:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | family of 5, 1800 US dollars per month | Apr 16 10:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | imagine working for that alone, never mind mortgage, cars, holidays | Apr 16 10:02 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | come to think about it, our approach is a lot like parallelism | Apr 16 10:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i have computer notes on need/want | Apr 16 10:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then paper equivalent, list of items and list of vendors, then you can search in parallel for optima/optimum | Apr 16 10:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | today was good for some things, not others | Apr 16 10:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and having four arms helps | Apr 16 10:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i bought a new hip belt bioform for just one pound | Apr 16 10:14 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | turns out it retails around 15-20 pounds | Apr 16 10:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | turns out it retails around 15-20 pounds | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 16 after discount, i see rrp as 40 | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | anyway, food compettiion will increase | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | as more people break down the bills and realise 200 power bills fall shy of 1500 for food | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and contigencies exist but are open secret, connection of connection... | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | many are returned items, usually unopened | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the stuff amazon used to toss in the landfill before the media reported on it | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and cannot be sold in the "official" markets | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | just offloaded through friends | Apr 16 10:26 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Decent savings then | Apr 16 10:26 |
| techrights[sec]_ | xxxxxx only ever buys when things are discounted but buys a lot and stores it away | Apr 16 10:26 |
| techrights[sec]_ | especially presents and such. She'll often plan a year or more ahead that way. | Apr 16 10:26 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so some ingredients we got are 90% or even 95% off | Apr 16 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | expiring next year, so they go into storage | Apr 16 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this is lots of fun, i feel like i worked today just by virtue of buying | Apr 16 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | gonna test the taste of the new coffee | Apr 16 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | just had a lot of buckwheat, we have close to 50kg of organic seeds | Apr 16 11:01 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the sweets were about 90% off too | Apr 16 11:01 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | ah, yes, i have a special place in my brain since last year for hunting down any "difficult" chars | Apr 16 18:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | ESP. for anything that later goes into TM | Apr 16 18:07 |
