Helped somebody move today, and then went to Meijer to pick up a few things. Final totals:
8 Fruit Snacks
32 Froot Loops (11 oz)
1 2-liter Pepsi One (I found a Catalina someone had left behind for a free one)
9 Eckrich Smoked Sausages
6 Eckrich Polish Kielbasa
4 Tyson Chicken Strips
1 Gallon milk
Amount paid: $7.83 (most of that was for the Eckrich – it was B1G2F original price of $3.99 and I had .50/1 coupons (13 of which doubled), so the final price for 15 of them was $5.95
Froot Loops were on sale for 99 cents, and the Catalina deal where if you buy 4 of them you get a coupon for $4 off your next order is still going on. I did some organization of the General Store, so I thought I’d attach a picture of the Froot Loops and the ketchup from last week (final totals 160 bottles). There’s just something about stacking things 3 or 4 high that makes you feel like you have a store 
Stay tuned later on for a final posting of my totals for April – a little hint though – it was my best month ever.
Well, I managed to improve my EFC time by 15 minutes, to 27 hours 21 minutes. As seems to be the case with most improvements, it happened with a paradigm shift – where instead of making minor improvements to an existing route, I just tried something new. And as also seems to usually be the case, the improvement happened pretty much by accident. I was browsing through an older route that I had created and noticed that one of the lines I had written 54 miles when really it was only 8 miles, which dropped the time from somewhere in the mid 28s to 27:48.
So I took that and used some of the things I’ve learned about routes, and was able to whittle the time down to 27:21. I varied it again and came up with a 27:32 route. The basic gist of this new route is instead of taking the Turnpike from OH 66 across the top of Ohio, I get off at OH 4 and take that down to the middle-western counties (Wyandot, Crawford, Hancock, Hardin, etc). A variation of this route I think was originally proposed by Jim, back in the day.
ETA I shaved another 15 minutes off of it by taking Hancock and Hardin from the west instead of the east. 27:06!
