Trump Vows ‘Very Hard’ Response Against Iran After Sanctions Shift on Russian Oil

  Iranians take part in a protest marking the annual al-Quds Day (Jerusalem Day) on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, in Tehran. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will strike Iran “very hard over the next week,” a declaration that came shortly after his administration issued a partial 30‑day waiver allowing purchases of sanctioned Russian oil.

Budget Grocery Shopping Tips to Save Money



 Here are some time-saving grocery tips that you might find useful:

1. Use a master grocery list: A master grocery list is a reusable list of all the items you regularly buy. You reference it every time you make your shopping list, to make sure you don’t forget anything. It’s also a huge time-saver! Just grab your master grocery list and check your fridge, pantry, and freezer to see what you need to buy.

2. Try Eat at Home Meals: If you’re looking for a more done-for-you solution (and wish someone else planned your meals), check out Eat at Home Meals! They provide monthly menus AND the coordinating shopping lists. You can choose meals from 4 different styles – Traditional, Wholesome, Slow Cooker/Instant Pot, and No Flour/No Sugar. 

3. Create an official grocery list: Plan out weekly meals and snacks, then create a grocery list based on your menu. Sticking to your grocery list will save you time aimlessly wandering around the store.

4. Avoid grocery shopping after work: If possible, avoid grocery shopping after work. Quitting time is when most people do their shopping, so stores are often crowded during this time.

5. Buy in bulk: Buying in bulk can save you both time and money in the long run.

6. Check the unit price: When buying groceries, always check the unit price to ensure that you’re getting the best deal.

7. Do not shop hungry: Shopping while hungry can lead to impulse buying and overspending.

8. Pre-cook or marinate meat: If you buy large packages of meat, pre-cook or marinate it and then freeze it to speed up meal times.

9. Wash and/or cut up fruit and vegetables once a week: Spend some time once a week washing and/or cutting up fruit and vegetables so that they’re ready to eat when you need them.
