As I passed big HEB I noticed that gasoline prices were once again on the rise. Regular Unleaded gasoline was selling for $1.979 a gallon... before we know it, it will be over $2.00 a gallon...and I have not been able to take advantage of it.
My steel cans and plastic bottles were growing exponentially and were begging to be taken to the Recycling Center so that is where I headed.
The City of Del Rio Recycling Center is very close to the parks that are along the banks of San Felipe Creek. I drove by some of them and only Moore Park had cars in its parking lot but I did not see any people.
Headed to San Felipe Lions Park where they had barricades set up to keep people from parking and it worked as I did not see a single soul there.
The County Library is close by and it was open today it had some patrons but I bypassed it and went to pick up our mail. When was the last time I was here? Our P.O. Box was full, glad I stopped by.
Having been by the main HEB and seeing a full parking lot, there was no way I was going to stop there even if it meant that I would miss out on buying my favorite ice cream or my larger size package of spinach for my salads.
Little HEB was the focus of my shopping on this day. While the parking lot was not full a vast majority of the people that shop here walk to the store. This store is small so I had to go around the aisles a couple of times to respect the social distance.
Happy to report that egg prices have once again gone down to even lower prices than pre-COVID. Before a dozen medium eggs sold for .88 cents and today, they were priced at .77 cents a dozen which made them cheaper than at Dollar Tree.
I was going to take a picture but had left my phone in the car. What did go up was the price of beer by $2.00 for a 30-pack of Natural Light and it appears that the "beer smugglers" have taken a break or perhaps are buying beer at larger establishments like big HEB and Walmart to then smuggle into Mexico for resale.
I only purchased 23 items mostly bread, serranos, a large bottle of Tabasco, eggs, and canned goods.
We had another triple-digit day. Per KSAT12 we had a high of 103 degrees and were the hot spot in Texas.
Per AccuWeather, the high was 104 degrees.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
