Dear Customers, Lion or Lamb?  And does it really matter?  Every time we find ourselves relying upon some old proverb to predict our weather, we’re more often than not disappointed.  Weather folklore stems most often from ancestral beliefs in staying in balance.  In the case of March, if it’s gentle at the beginning of the…

Dear Customers, Entering into the last full week of February, I consider the Winter to be about 2/3’rds complete when March rolls around.  It isn’t, really, it just helps to pretend it is.  We all know that it’s possible to get freezing temperatures, heavy snowfalls and ice storms clear through till May and sometimes beyond…

Dear Customers, There’s really no point in talking about Valentine’s Day – today.  If you haven’t already picked up some flowers and a card, you’re really skating on thin ice.  You’re the kind of guy that buys his Christmas presents at the gas station – on Christmas Eve!  We probably still have some inventory available…

Dear Customers, It’s been quite a while, several months in fact, since we’ve had an IN-STORE Meat Bonanza.  We have, however, had a few that were posted on our FACEBOOK page and these work well – except for those customers who don’t navigate and personal computer all that well.  This month is an excellent time…

Dear Customers, The practice of dividing the year into 12 months was ordered by Julius Caesar in 45 BC because they coincided with the 12 lunar cycles.  Of those 12 months, we just finished my least favorite; January!  I’m not completely sure why, but I would think it has something to do with the post-Christmas…

Dear Customers, On the ledge above my desk, sits a clock, a gift from Bill Jones who used to own the Moneysaver.  On the front there’s a little plaque that reads “A NEW BEGINNING MARCH 5, 2003”.  I glance at the time multiple times every day and it’s also how I remember when we moved…

Dear Customers, We’re halfway through January already, which means only 19 more weeks still Memorial Day!  That’s a bit optimistic, even for me! The truth is we have quite a bit of Winter to slog through and most of the Spring as well before we reach that milestone. Instead, we’re hunkering down and making ourselves…

Dear Customers, As we venture into the New Year, there are literally no breaks of a holiday type until Easter.  That is unless you count Valentine’s Day and/or St. Patrick’s Day.  And I don’t count them because they’re not holidays that are generally embraced by the majority of people.  If you have a sweetheart, you…

Dear Customers, Reboot, restart, “proceed past Go, do not collect $200”. . . these are just some of the ways to say the same thing.  It’s 2022 and when the new year rolls around we are faced with beginning all over again.  The difference between 12/31/21 and 1/1/22 is negligible. The days look the same,…

Dear Customers, This New Year’s Eve won’t be my first, and with God’s grace, it won’t be my last.  But there’s something about every one of them that fills me with mixed emotions.  On the one hand, there’s nostalgia in saying goodbye to the year that’s ending, no matter how it played out.  I will…
