I think the power/gas bill image says everything that needs to be said: https://files.catbox.moe/mc219f.png

The electric bill is much more of a decrease than the gas bill because it uses the same small fan to move air that the AC does. It's not quite as efficient as I probably should have but it was installed in the late 90s and efficiency wasn't much of a thing back then. $11 of the gas bill is just going to be a "having it on" cost. I wonder if the 6 degree difference is enough to account for the gas cost difference but that fan not running because of the heat savings is saving a HUGE chunk. The solar heater still isn't going to keep you from being at least chilly but it helps keep my wallet fatter and if I forget to kick the heat on on a sunny day, it still doesn't drop below 60 degrees inside.

I did one extremely minor grocery order but that's because I needed more of a cleaner that escaped my inventory efforts and the delivery service had a "minimum order amount". So I popped in a couple of items. I thought I'd do what should have been $60 worth just to top up a few things but once I added those to the cart, the total was over $120 so fuck that, I just got a gallon of milk, some bread and like two other things (can't remember what now). Been making more bread myself than I normally do. Otherwise, I haven't done any grocery shopping since late December and my stores are still well stocked. Shelf stable milk (boxed) tends to clump and settle because the protein and thickeners (if it's chocolate) tend to settle but it's fine and safe and a few seconds in a blender fixes it right up like new. I'm pretty sure I'll run out of chicken and hot dogs before anything else because the dog gets meat almost every day but that's gonna be an expense I don't mind terribly. Broke the coffee pot so now I'm making coffee 4 pots at a time in one of those big serving makers kind of like one of these: https://bit.ly/3BK0TnP

And I eliminated sugar from my coffee entirely by using 2 drops of stevia with half a teaspoon of xylitol to hide the stevia taste.

Eh, what else...

Oh, I stocked up the fuel reserves in case the whole Russia thing drives gas prices up. Both cars are topped off and I have almost 150 gallons of diesel for the truck. I should be fine for a while.

There's really not much else.
