I have almost always operated along those lines.
Unfortunately, my container garden has been neglected to the point that I basically need to start over.
I also have many different seed varieties for sprouting and as it is getting hotter salads are becoming more a meal option, so lots of options.

Several of the major grocery chains have veered away from coupons in their ads and forcing customers to either buy a combination of five or more linked items to get 50 cents to a dollar off of each item or "clip" digital coupons on their apps in order to get discounts.
