shopping trip

Tonight after work I ran to Safeway to cherry pick a few deal scenarios I had come up with...
I got all of this:

for $5.31 (oop) !

I have HW I need to start on (even though it is my SPRING BREAK) so I won't list all the details. But I just combined their promotion of buy ten selected items get $5 off your total with coupons. I am happy with this for multiple reasons. M. and I LOOOOVE peach cups, we are really trying to eat healthier and control portion sizes (mainly M. on this one, he was raised to always clear his plate. I was raised to finish when I was full). Fruit cups are ridiculously expensive when there isn't a good sale. I ended up getting 11 of them for 1.75! and the pasta-roni and rice-a-roni are usually $1 a piece here and re fried beans run about .90 a can. so it was a good trip. Before coupons/sales/promotions the total was $43.72.

a great find!

this evening I took a quick pit stop to browse the shelves at Ross. I was actually looking for two little sitting chairs for our spare room and thought I would check there before looking at Ikea but no such luck on the chairs. but i came across these fabulous metal bowls:

each bowl has FRUIT labeled on them. they are metal enamel bowls and look rustic; like something my memaw(translation for you yankees:grandmother) would have in her fridge. they were marked regular price for $1.49 each! I snatched up three. One for bananas, one for apples, and one for oranges or whatever other fruit I happen to pick up.

they work great in the fridge to help draw your eye right to the healthy treat!
