I found time for a mid-day post! We’ve been busy, but having fun. I ❤ errand Saturday with my husband. We got up around 8:20 and got straight to work; there’s been a lot of movement today. After loading up the car with stuff for Goodwill (including a heavy mattress that gave me an arm work out) we headed out to our car inspection. The car took about an hour so Adam and I walked to the post office and back while we waited. Afterwards we dropped off our donations. During the drive I ate this Balance Bar I found at Target yesterday for 78cents.
Gah, too good! I ate the cookie dough flavor and it was literally like cookie dough. I try not to eat them that often because they have much more saturated fat (3-4g) than I prefer, but they are a really great occasional treat. I gave Adam a bite and he fell in love too.
Next we took our coupons to Wegmans.
I’m sure you’re all shocked that Adam insisted on salad bar again 🙂
I knew I would eat some snacky food tonight at the party so I skipped my usual buffet philosophy (90/10 healthy food to splurges) and went all healthy. I had Bourbon grilled chicken, Asian baked tofu, and steamed veggies (that is a small container).
We got a ton at the grocery store (I got another arm workout carrying purchases up the stairs) and then came home to do some cleaning. I stopped to paint my toenails and figured drying time was a good time for dessert. I don’t know if you guys remember my super sample sundae? Forget that. This is the new hottness –
Purely Decadent Dairy Free Coconut and Crofter’s Asia Superfruit Spread. Ridiculous.
This is hands-down my favorite ice-creamand the jam addition was out of this world. I was in ecstasy.
We have a few more to-do’s this afternoon, and then tonight people are coming over for wine/cheese. I’ll do a recap but I’m not sure how many pictures I’ll take. See you later for some drogging!
- Do you use coupons when you food shop? I don’t comparison shop or anything like that, but I do clip coupons. I keep them in a mini file folder, organized by category and expiration date.
- Do you bring your own bags to the grocery store? I sometimes slip, but 90% of the time we bring cloth bags from home. It’s good for the environment, and I find it way easier to carry heavy bags over my shoulder.
- What was your most exciting grocery purchase this week? We got some organic, dairy free chocolate syrup with a bear on the front that I am pretty eager to open up!

I love those balance bars – when I was on the Zone diet, they were a very frequent “meal” for me. Cookie dough was my fave.
1. I don’t use coupons because I always buy stuff that I normally wouldn’t buy, thus spending more money. I do comparison shop though – there are a few good grocery stores I like.
2. I love bringing my own bags because, like you, they are easier to sling over my shoulder.
3. I can’t remember anything exciting I bought this week. Boo. I guess I have to go food shopping again!
dude, those cookie dough balance bars are so dang good. i use my own bags and recently started using coupons. most exciting purchase? hmmm. probably the sun butter, which i used a coupon for! and then made some great hummus with when i got home!
I always forget to bring grocery bags, even though I have a ton of reusable ones in my house!
