Today we bought some goodies for the children at the orphanage in Luwafu. 220 pounds of rice. $84.50. That’s $0.38 per pound. Here is a spiritual challenge … How can I make an impact on the world, with two quarters? Now you know how!
Dried Beans. The Big red ones we purchase in the store at home …
220 pounds cost us $0.36 per pound.
Six dozen eggs… $5.50
10 quarts of cooking oil … $20
15 large heads of cabbage … $0.56 each
A half bushel of tomatoes … $2.81
A half bushel of onions … $5.50
12 pounds of sugar … $10.00
A half bushel of green peppers … $2.25
A half stalk, about 40 bananas … $2.00
A half bushel of carrots … $2.81
5 huge bunches of celery, $0.75
And finally,
10 pounds of really lean beef. $20
And the butcher gave us another 10 pounds of bones to roast and cook with the vegetables, rice and beans for flavor … and to make soup from. Yum!
