Taking advantage of great supermarket bargains

Recently I was shopping at my favorite supermarket, Adams in Newburgh, NY, America, where they have a very nice vegetable section where I saw the "bargain" cart loaded with packages. Normally that's the first area I go to because I always find great bargains there especially after holidays. 

This time they had bundled organic dill with spinach, leek and parsley. Each package had my name written all over it and it was very generously stuffed. Just the dill had an original price tag of $3.79 on it. I was buying $19 worth of stuff for $3. 

Most times I cook whatever I buy from that bargain cart the same day, but sometimes I choose to either freeze or dry it. The dill is already tied up with string and hung outside on the grapevine trellis to dry in the sun. At night I bring it inside the house because of the morning dew that will rehydrate the herb. If it's sunny and not too humid it will dry in 2-3 weeks. Then I take it indoors for further processing. I made a good video about processing my own dried herbs and you can watch it here. This time I will dry enough dill to last me sever months. I will add it to my world famous spinach pie and fish recipes. 

The point I'm trying to make is that you should take advantage of these special offers in order to stretch your money to its fullest. 

Language barriers from an Immigrant's perspective

 This is the quintessential immigrant video. I talk about problems that I've encountered in my American life with my accent and mispronouncing words. 

I forgot to include the difficulty I had with the Spanish name Jesus where in Spanish it is pronounced "hay-SOOS". 

Here is my YouTube video where I talk about three different situations I've encountered as an innocent immigrant.

UPDATE: Dunkin' Donuts Mystery Lid Design

It's been several years since the last Dunkin' Donuts Mystery Lid post and I feel the need to look into this mysterious Dunkin' Donuts lid once again.

I have just one question that drives me NUTS about these lids: WHY???? Why is there such a need to overdesign such a simple, utilitarian object, the lid of a to-go cup?

Since I have lots of time to kill, I visited the Dunkin Donuts website and looked around to find some information that would satisfy my curiosity. First of all, I was wondering if they use the same lid for tea and other hot drinks of theirs. For this reason, I visited several popular places in Orange County, NY, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy airport where hot products, coffee, tea, etc., are sold.

At JFK, every kiosk had the same type of lid for both coffee and tea. Specifically, I visited one of the many kiosks at JFK's Delta terminal 2. Here they offer hot coffee and tea, cold drinks, and donuts.

On the left side of the kiosk, you can find the hot drink cups and lids.

Here is a top view of the lid. It is exactly the same one as all the other lids I've seen around NY state.
