Dear Friend,
This really happened. 😲
With the snowstorm barreling towards us this weekend, and preparations underway for the sub-zero temps the following week, my mind shifted to thinking about what we need from the store to get through the storm.
At the top of many people’s lists…Toilet Paper. Not me though.
Thinking about toilet paper brought a little chuckle to my belly for a second. It zapped me back to March and April of 2020.
Covid hit. And crazy people flocked to Walmart and “the runs” on toilet paper began.(Pun intended)
And, honestly, I get it.
The thought of heading outside and trying to pluck leaves off mostly barren trees does not sound too great.
But, here is where your “sometimes illogical” real estate friend chose a different path. Some in literature may call it “the path less traveled.”
While everybody else was involving themselves in the free for all for toilet paper (it literally looked like something from the Hunger Games), yours truly was heading straight to the condiment section.
Before everybody else realized what was happening, I needed to make my move.
Hustling down the aisle…my eyes quickly found the prize.
I reached up and swooped every bottle of original Chick-fil-A sauce in one quick swipe right into my cart.
They were all mine! I could not believe my good fortune.
It was funny…every shelf…lined full…ketchup…mustard…relish… and then a huge gap in the shelf with the only evidence of what happened was a pricing label left as evidence.
The Moral of The Story is This:
We all need to prepare for emergencies.
While some of you are grabbing your toilet paper and water bottles for this weekend,
I want to leave you with 3 Sub-zero “Temp Tips” for your home, in case they are needed.
1) Always check your outdoor spigots are properly winterized.
2) Running water won’t freeze (unless it’s like how Niagara falls does on rare occasions)
3) Heat tape anything you aren’t sure about.
Bonus: opening cabinet doors helps warm air to reach pipes.
If you know anybody who is fed up with the freezing cold and snow and is ready to sell their place, take the proceeds, and move South…have them give me call. I’m offering a free bottle of Chick-fil-A sauce to the first 3 people who need to move. 🚀 (More valuable than toilet paper in a pandemic!)

PS. You are already too late to get the Chick-fil-A on the shelves. By the time you have read this, I’ve already stocked up.
