Markups and Gluten-Free

I learned about a year ago that due to a rare genetic disorder I have that it would be best for me to be on a gluten free diet. There are other restrictions of course too, but this is one that more people are familiar with. At the time that I was diagnosed I was managing a community owned grocery store, so I had some first hand knowledge of how markups worked and what they were. Even before I was diagnosed it bothered me that a box of regular pasta would have a suggested mark-up of 20-35%, but the already more expensive gluten-free pasta would have a suggested mark-up of  55-80%. I realize that some people are on gluten-free as a fad, but there are some of us who really need to be gluten-free. It seemed immoral to me that just being gluten-free meant the wholesaler was suggesting that we have a higher mark-up.

Organizing Tips From The Container Store

The Following is an article from the Container Store. We also have storage items and systems. Also check out our kitchen food storage items, utensils, and appliances. 1. Start in one place If you have several areas in your home you want to get under control, start with just one. You decide which one to start with — is it the area that gives you the biggest headache, or the area that guests to your home most easily see? Whatever your priorities, select one area and stick to it. Many attempts at organization fail when the task of cleaning up the entire house seems daunting and folks give up. When you complete one area, celebrate and then move on to the next. 2. Allow plenty of time Don't expect organization to happen overnight.
