WE WANT TO TRADE RESOURCES .. WHAT ACTUALLY HAS REAL VAlue?

awesome ? cartoon .. What is "value"??

VALUE? .. I was so excited about the Blockchain Ledger .. but Bitcoin will just be the same old stupidity. My "Reverse world” was trying to take peoples skills and talents and trade them for personal income vs begging for a “job” or receiving Universal Basic Income. Everyone wants to feel valuable, not just get a hand out.


This kind of blows your mind about WHAT REALLY HAS VALUE? .. community, a sense of belonging won’t make the Stock Market .. but have more VALUE in Society. All those mass murders are guys who feel isolated and ostracized.

old ideas .. be creative, go back to old ways

Trade .. Barter!

Not just my garden carrots for your cabbage ..  how about a lonely old person with empty house? Trade a room for tech help, help with heavy harder things and just companionship. Each gets what they need for a better quality of life. Think this through in different creative ways. A Single mom whose kids you can help with etc.

Back to buying only "on sale". I used to make this game.

Galen Weston owns us .. all our Food and drugstores. I live on his convenience foods when on sale since I have no time and no $ .. or I buy everything ALWAYS on senior discount. Now I found some drugstores that sell REAL Food. I actually bought real groceries vs processed food at 20% off! I feel like I robbed a bad guy .. its fun! Find places that have good prices or shop the sales!

Make soup, casseroles and stew, to use up all leftovers

Start with a home made base or no chemicals purchased base. Throw in all the little leftovers and sad looking vegetables in the fridge. I am a germ freak but eat food weeks past "best before". It says "BEST BEFORE" .. not "going to kill you after"!

Whatever vegetable and meat is on special this week, make extra and freeze

Much cheaper than convenience food or take out when you are in a rush. 

Use coupons and "Free coffee after 7", etc

We have time to make this a Game. Bigger quantities are always cheaper. Could we get together with our Apt floor and share Costco high # discounts? Trade cooking from scratch between neighbours you trust for hygiene habits. Scratch is much cheaper than take out. We will support local biz when we get more secure.

Buy in bulk but at hygenic stores,

I was a germ freak long before covid, so Bulk Food Stores give me the "willies?" (yech! .. did someone mean spit in it??). But some are very careful and maintain a watchful eye. Imagine the saving in packaging waste if we went back to this method. Also it allows you to buy more the amount you need for your size of meals.

Vegetables are cheaper at small neighbourhood Fruit markets.

Buy your vegetables at Markets where they are most affordable and you are supporting local business.
