Meat on tick
Aug 10th, 2008 by Stace
We have a local butcher on our street and we’ve taken to buying our chicken and fish (and amazingly tasty local strawberries!) from him just on the day we want to eat it. So we’re in there two or three times a week, but only spending 3-7 squids a time. We’d have to be his lowest-paying customers, seeing as how we don’t even eat meat! He even refers to Wes as ‘No Meat Man’. Anyway, we were in there yesterday for strawberries, chicken and eggs (1 pound for six huge free range eggs on the day they were laid!). He only takes cash, and after scraping together as many pennies as I could, we were still one pound short. Instead of putting my eggs back, he kindly offered to put it in ‘the book’. How’s that for country living? Feels weird being in debt to the butcher though!
