Amazon Shopping List #2

Another month has past and its time to take another look at my Amazon Shopping list. As of June 1, 2020, the total price for all of the items on my list is $68.71. Only 10 out of 20 items on the list that are available to purchase. One item is no longer available. There was a price increase on 4 items and a price decrease on 4 items. It would cost $36.49 to buy one each of the available items. This is a slight improvement over last month, when only 7 of 10 items were available. I have noticed that the availability of items changes daily. But, there never seems to be more than 10 items available each day I look at the list. I would need to track the available items each day to determine which day of the week would be best to place an order. People probably do most of their shopping on the weekends, so the middle of the week may have more items available. But, it also depends on Amazon's restocking schedule. Since I have a variety of pantry items, I would need to place several minimum orders each month in order to get more of the items on my list. I will check the status one more time next month.

Regarding the protests this past week in Minneapolis, the autopsy showed no signs of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. They didn't say what intoxicants were in his system. It will be several weeks before that report comes out. The family is set to announce findings of an independent autopsy on Monday June 1st, 2020. It will be interesting to see how the two autopsy reports differ. The police need a better way of handling someone who is potentially intoxicated and shows signs of resisting arrest. Physical force and non lethal weapons have the potential to cause death, if there are underlying health conditions. Maybe people need to be reminded how to act when they encounter law enforcement. We need ideas and solutions not protests.
