1) A gallon of milk costs $2.49 at Trader Joe's, except if you go for organic, in which case it is $5.99 but it is truly delicious and you can definitely tell the difference. I couldn't bring myself to spend over twice as much given my tight little budget at the moment though.
2) Cheese! Even with special offers at Ralphs (where I had to go since Trader Joes was closed when I had a craving for leftover lentils baked into a pasta casserole with feta cheese), Trader Joes is so much cheaper, not to mention more ethical. Keeping an eye on those pennies has really made these differences stand out. Also, for those rare carnivorous occasions, TJ's beef and chicken are less than $2 a pound. I freakin' love that place!
3) I now have 3 (!) customers for my accidental business making business cards: I design and manufacture them from clean upcycled (re-used) cardboard boxes (usually from breakfast cereals). I will post pictures soon. They are very tactile and elegant, and have garnered more attention for me than anything I've used in the past, hence starting to acquire customers! Perfect for anyone with a green leaning, I'm doing them for $25 per 100 (discounts on larger numbers or if you donate your cardboard boxes, just email me!).
