I got to thinking, what would work really hard to save in a power outage?

My power was out for 4 days and I spent money on ice, mainly to save a couple of things that are pretty silly now that I think of it. I worked hard to save: The cheese I wrap my dog's pills in The black raspberries I bought for my mom that were $9 a quart My coffee creamer that I bought just the day before we lost power My first tomato that I picked off my vine in my first gardening attempt The Asiago cheese spread that I got on sale for $2, regularly $5! The chicken broth I'd make the day before for my dogs' food Cottage cheese at $3.42, chipped beef that was on sale Orange Juice I got on sale for $1.99 gallon All that work and $12 worth of ice went into saving these silly things. But I got most of them on sale or they were very expensive. The sale items I hung onto because I got such a deal, the raspberries were so pricey that I was determined not to lose them! I gave half of them away because there was no room in the cooler and I couldn't bear to see them wasted. In doing so, at least I got to meet my neighbor across the street! Do you go to great lengths to save silly things like this? It's ridiculous now that I think about it. But I saved them, haha!!
