Medicare, some evil toad came up with a system where you have a donut hole in the middle of what Medicare pays for in prescriptions. You stay there until you have spent something over $6,000 a year in your share. I have insurance to help but I still pay a much higher amount for the more expensive meds, and a sky high amount when I'm in the donut hole, which for me is the rest of the year. I could get a medigap insurance that costs five times more than what I'm paying now. It would actually cost be over $1,000 more a year with premiums and what I would still pay for these meds. There is no generic or cheaper version of these meds so I'm stuck. A three month supply costs three times what I pay for one month. Plus, like I said. That would throw me into the donut hole almost immediately.
Trump really helped when he got prescription prices down. These expensive meds soared after Biden came in.
We had three snowstorms in a week and a half with lots of snow for Virginia. The last one we had a thick glaze of ice on top of about 10 inches of snow. Luckily it didn't stick to trees and powerlines or we'd have been out of power for days. We still have a lot of snow with ice on the ground. We have to go to town today. SO's mother is dying and this may be his last chance to see her. I hope the roads are okay.
Y'all be careful. I hope you don't get a bad storm.
A weatherman in VA is saying my part of NC may get as much as a foot, although the Weather Service is leaning more toward sleet now. I just ordered more propane, so there won't be a chance of running out.
We bought the mandatory bread yesterday. We already had milk. You can buy milk a little ahead of time, if you get it in paper cartons instead of plastic jugs. The milk lasts a whole lot longer in the paper because the paper blocks light.
I have some dried milk in my stash too. It's usually on the baking aisle if you want some. I hope you don't get slammed with a foot of snow and absolutely no sleet! I actually get the Fairlife milk not because we're lactose intolerant but because of the long keeps until date and it's a lot lower in carbs. It costs more but it keeps for weeks.
We do all our heating with a pellet stove and a woodstove. We have lots of pellets and wood. The woodstove can heat the house by itself if the power goes out. Luckily, they're only calling for an inch tomorrow here.

I have dried milk, also canned evaporated milk, which can be diluted to make whole milk. It costs a bit, but lasts a long time.
Yeah, I have plenty of that too. I also bought a big dehydrator last summer and dried all kind of fruits and vegetables.
