Our goodies from the last trip are nearly gone, and so is the pain in my back, so it’s time again.

We’re off to the produce terminal again today, this time with a new innovation. Thanks to my hubby and some very helpful readers (and a couple of my own hours last night on the computer), the spreadsheet now calculates totals for each person based upon case price and quantities, with a built-in 10% markup to help cover waste and gas.

This should streamline the process since it eliminates the need for doing math as we process orders, and it gives us instantly updated totals when we change amounts in a person’s order. I’m just hoping that I didn’t make any horrible mistakes. I’m very good at math and hubby likes to call me The Human Calculator, but I tend to make the most ridiculous mistakes. My friend Jenny B. has promised to warn me if it looks like I’m going home with $17 after doling out $400 in produce to our friends.

And on the other end of the spectrum, I’m sure my friends will speak up if I accidentally charge them $400 for $17 worth of produce.
