Hangry Thought of the Day: Just go the f%#@ to sleep kid!
Hey gang and welcome back. Sorry for the long absence but I was up at the cabin again this week, with no internet.
So for today's articles I would like to talk about my trip to Trader Joe's.
We are still good on proteins thanks to our Week 3 trip to COSTCO. So for another week I get to go veggie heavy. I also picked up ingredients to make some chocolate zucchini muffins. I also got a couple of treats for the cabin, namely the bacon ends and the sparkling water. So let's talk about the big wins for Trader Joe's!
- 2lb Bag of Sweet Potatoes $1.69: I had the option of potatoes or sweet potatoes. I went with the sweet potatoes just for a change up.
- 4 bags of frozen brussel sproutes $.99 ea. Trader Joe's offers up a lot of great selections for frozen veggies and fruits. I found these ones on sale and can't wait to stir-fry or grill these up!
- 2lb Gala Apples for $2.99. While not the cheapest I have bought apples, I could still fit this into by budget, and they had a much better flavor then most of the other apples I have eaten in the past weeks.
- Small jar of Peanut Butter $1.99: TJ's is known for pretty great peanut butter, this will make for some great convenience lunches.
- 1 dozen eggs $.99: I didn't NEED eggs this week, but I picked them up because they are about $.29 cheaper then most other places.
Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi's. Its pricing and business model show. There are a lot of great deals to be had. I had a BLAST shopping at Trader Joe's. Not only did I get a lot of food, but I also got a lot of veggies for my dollar, and even a few treats. It is hard to go wrong in a place like this. It will be very interesting to to compare my experience with Aldi's next week.
With this weeks purchases I am hoping to make some of the a fore mentioned muffins, another batch of scones, and stir-fried veggies. Yum!
