Super Blood Moon Eclipse

The Super Blood Moon Eclipse was late last night/early this morning and we were lucky

enough to be able to see it from our backyard. So, the family bundled up and out we went.

Wow! When the moon went into eclipse, it turned blood red. It was amazing and worth

braving the cold and staying up very late to see it.

Last night was the only total lunar eclipse of 2019, so if you missed it, you’ll have to wait two

years for the next one. However, if you’re in North America, like I am, then it will be even

longer, 2022.

If you saw the eclipse last night, leave a comment below.

Cost Saving Tip of the Week: When I purchase fruit for the week, it helps to calculate the cost per serving vs. the cost in general. For example, this week a whole watermelon was on sale for $3.99 each. When it is cut up, the watermelon will yield at least 20 servings which will place the cost per serving at $0.20.
