Last Friday, I was being smart and did all my food shopping before the predicted snowstorm. Now that I don't have to because of the retirement thing, I like to shop when the stores are less crowded. I stocked up on this, that and the other. I got home feeling smug that I was all prepared and wouldn't have to hit the stores on a Saturday on the day of the snowstorm.
I'm not sure what was going on at the grocery store last Friday, but they were really trying to move the pork. It was buy one get two loin roasts. Buy one get two pork chops or country style ribs. And buy one get one pork tenderloin. It was pork fest, I guess.

Phillies Go Shopping In Discount Bin For Bullpen Parts
This week's moves sealed it. Any dreams of the Phillies busting through the Competitive Balance Tax threshold with one more big signing went poof. The Phillies recently went digging through the 99-cent bin and found a bucket of spare parts — signing relievers Francisco Liriano, Bud Norris and Drew Storen and nomadic infielder Neil Walker. All four signed minor league deals and will report to Clearwater, Fla. for Spring Training next month.

Grocery shopping: Five college players to watch who could interest the Eagles in the 2020 NFL
The Senior Bowl game kicks off today at 2:30 p.m. EST, and if you find yourself watching that, here are some players who could make sense for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2020 NFL Draft that we missed during the regular college football season.

The Eagles clearly have "a type" that they like at quarterback, and Montez fits it at 6'4, 240, with a strong arm:
If the Eagles bring back Nate Sudfeld and also think of him as their No. 2 quarterback heading into 2020, then it would make sense for them to draft a late round developmental guy, like Montez, and try to correct some of his accuracy and pocket concerns.

Your beginner's guide to Honey, the anti-Amazon shopping extension
Welcome to TNW Basics , a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff.

One of the truths of the internet is that Amazon's prices operate on an inscrutable formula — they fluctuate and go on sale at somewhat arbitrary intervals. One of the benefits of Honey is that it offers a price history of items on Amazon, so you know if they're likely to go on sale at some point.

Hannaford To Go is a service Hannaford supermarkets offer where you shop online and later go to the store to fetch your purchases.
Before I go any further, I want to say I’ll likely still shop in person most of the time, but Hannaford To Go sure is convenient.
And easy. I typed in “hannaford to go” on my computer, filled in my name, address, phone number and the store from which I planned to pick up my order: Hannaford at JFK Plaza in Waterville. Then I proceeded to “shop” by department — produce, meat, dairy, pet and so forth. I hadn’t shopped in a while, so I needed many items and ordered a total of 38.
