Penzeys spice gift card sale

[clevermanka]

Heads up USians, Penzeys $50 gift cards are $35 through Monday, November 7. I used my last one a couple months ago, so if anyone's feeling flush with cash and wants to buy me one I wouldn't hate it.

I'm actually using my spices again bc I'm cooking for my landlady. She's giving me a massive break on rent (she could get a couple hundred dollars a month more for this place if she wanted) and I've missed cooking for someone so this is a win/win even though we can't actually eat together.

Ooh, that's a brilliant exchange. I'm so glad it's something you're enjoying. <333

She very much liked the black beans and Picadillo so far!

I've been meaning to start looking for someone who lives nearby who'd be willing to cook and deliver a hot, nutritious meal to my parents on a daily basis. I've had reservations since COVID about them interacting with strangers, but I think now that school vacation's just around the corner, I can use that time to start putting feelers out.

Oooh, I just looked it up online - sounds fantastic!

Melinda has health concerns too, so she meets me in the doorway of her garage (we share a duplex) and I hand her the bag of packaged food. It's about as minimal contact as can be without just leaving it on her doorstep.

Good luck finding someone reliable to cook for your parents!

I picked up a few since they never expire. Once they arrive, I'm going to put in an order, so text me what you want, and I'll throw your order in with mine!

[clevermanka]

Will do, thank you!

I have gotten a card for you as well! Yay Penzeys!

[clevermanka]

Thank you sweetheart! A double blessing since your postcards arrived today, too 😚

[clevermanka]

I'm happy about sharing food, again, yes. 🧡

It sounds like an excellent arrangement!

I had a moment of "I could buy a gift card for...eventually...?" and then remembered that I can't just make purchases through the site. *sighs*

*sigh* Stupid international shipping exclusions

The Barter economy is alive and kicking!
