    It does pay to comparison shop!

    I work at O'Reilly Auto Parts, and as such, I receive a fairly nice discount.  But every once in awhile, not so much.  Today I needed to pick up oil and a filter for my 2008 Chrysler Town & Country.  I use Valvoline 5W-30 High Mileage oil because I have over 130,000 miles on it.  We are...

    The washer is a post-war Maytag J2L.  It was a step down from their TOL E2L machine.

    A look at electric roaster ovens

    This Nesco that we have was found at an estate sale 2 years ago for $8.00.  It's the 6qt version, and looks very similar to yours.

    U.S. coin shortage?

    Yes, I saw a note last Weds. from the bank the O'Reilly's store I work at put in with our daily currency order. And, the locally owned bank that we use is only servicing coin orders for its own customers at present.

    What laundry products do you use and why?

    I add a 1/2 cup of Stanley Degreaser along with the orange box Sears powder we normally use when I launder my work shirts.  It tackles any grease/oil stains that may be on them that I might forget to pretreat.

    1949 Kelvinator restoration

    Rick, Your '49 Kelvinator is exactly like the one my Aunt Alvera & Uncle Eldor had.  It moved with them when they moved from the farm into the new house they built in town in 1960.  It was still going strong when the house was sold in the early 1990's.

    Butter

    Chris, The main reason for the strong anti-margarine laws in WI is because the dairy industry is very strong here.  Even now, during this crisis, even though farmers are dumping milk daily because of decreased markets due to less restaurant and institutional usage.

    Butter

    Until 1967, margarine sales were illegal in WI.  Restaurants here still can't legally serve colored margarine unless a customer specifically asks for it.   My Mom remembers visiting family as a young girl in MN, and Beloit, WI (on WI/Il state line) and bringing home a trunk full of Blue Bonnet...

    Butter

    Kwik Trip/Kwik Star is running their $1.99/lb butter promo until 4/30.  I've found it to be comparable in quality to Land O' Lakes.  They source all their milk from within 100 miles of their corporate headquarters in LaCrosse, WI.  Whenever they run this special, we stock up so that we have...

    Electric vs gas equipment in schools

    The parochial school I attended was built in 1925, and had all gas appliances from the late 1950's.  When a new school was built in 1983-84, the kitchen equipment was salvaged and installed in the new school.  It is all still being used.  The Hobart dishwasher is of the same vintage, and is also...
