I too try to always take a list (or back when I did my own shopping I did ...heh), but I would always whim shop with it. I couldn't possibly think of all the options there are out there and variety being the spice of life.... sometimes I simply needed to see something to know I want some of it. LOL
"When I start galloping to the house, I will know I have had too many." THAT made me laugh.... cloppity, cloppity,clop.....
Those colors in the strawberry/blueberry/kiwi photo really zings out of of the page. Love that.
Oh ! ...and that purple clematis is amazing !
Thank you! I always get a kick out of your replies.
Clippity, cloppity, clop. LOL
I do know what you mean about needing to see something to know I wanted it. Hmmm. Yup. Just ran by a bag of Cheese Puffs... I needed them to eat as I am doing the #MarketFriday. An unplanned event. Ha. And yet, not on the list. I pivoted and put them in the cart. As a normal shopping day, I usually make a list based on what I am making for dinner that week and pick up the ingredients I don't have. Those are the needed items. Anything else, I try to keep the junk to a minimum. The rest is for my taste buds. I threw licorice in there too. Just saying
Black licorice, I especially love it because nobody in this house likes it! :) Sorry/Not Sorry.
I love when fruits are all cut up and looking good for you delicious! We all had fruit salad for lunch today. The fruit is just plentiful and delicious!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Whim buying is my fav ! I had to stop at Dollar General on the way home from Moms, because there wasn't any junk food here to get me through the emotional work slug of Monday.... I just couldn't face it alone ! 😄 It's going to be an ugly death !
Cheese Puffs ... Good ! Licorice.... Yucky ! ha ha.... yep... no competition here for that !
Do you put some sort of "dressing" type thing on your fruit salad?
I don't usually put anything but the natural freshness. Everything was so fresh that I cubed it and served it just like that. I cannot tell you how boring I am. Except for licorice. I love it. It is like crack to me. Honest Injun! I could eat a whole pack, so I bring none home. I am like an addict. I have to finish it. That is a problem. Nothing else is like that for me. Wait. Lies. There are several things, so I don't'buy them and I am okay with that.
I like mornings where I can go for a short run, and the coffee will brew while I am away, be done when I get back and I can go through my emails and take care of business early. Life has gotten less complicated lately which is nice for a change. I put my phone on Airplane mode today after I sent my entire family a text saying if they wanted me (seriously needed me) they could call on the house phone. Yes, I still have a house phone, I need one. But today was a day of no contact, just all about here and now. So, only my brother called the house phone when he could get hold of me. So, long story short. It was a nice day.
Is this going to be a busier week than normal? Or the regular stuff? Are you sure you don't want to split a bag of licorice or can I just have your half?? I'll trade you for my Cheese Puffs. Well, there is only a half a bag left.
Wait! What did you get at the Dollar Store!?? Come on! Make me jelly!
This will be a normal first week of the month busy for us. We don't close out on the last day of the month on many months and this time we closed out for August last Saturday. (I dunno why).... so we are starting a new month in our billing cycle. It is not the worst week of the month normally, but just have to take it day by day and hope for the best.
I doubt I could make you jelly with what I bought. I got cheetos which is cousin to your cheese puffs and some candy corn and a individual bag of a fall snack mix that is YUCK ! Good thing it wasn't a big bag. It had a tiny bit of candy corn to make it look fall'ish and it had white covered heart pretzels and little pretzel bites with peanut butter in them, but I didn't see that it was Palmer brand when I bought it or I would have left it on the shelf, because Palmer is very cheap yucky tasting crap. Sure enough, The PB pretzel was stalish and the outside had picked up the flavor of the fake white chocolate wannabe coating on the heart pretzel. The heart pretzel tasted yuck because Palmer doesn't know how to do chocolate of any kind.... and then candy corn was hard like it was leftover from last year. I only tasted one piece of each and when I walk into the kitchen now to see what I'll be snarfing down for lunch, it will be going in the trash. Ew ! I need to be more observant !
Oh! I just saw this and yuck! What a waste of a good pretzel! Palmers is crap, yes? Good to know.
I am hoping it is a normal, peaceful week. :) Or something like that.
I have finally finished #MarketFriday! What a week that was! I must be getting old and slow, or running out of time again.
Let's get some good candy. I am tired of junk! Oh, the stores have all the fall candy already!
I did get one more thing I forgot and this is Dollar Generals one saving grace on candy. There are little bags of their brand of candy that is Salted Caramels coated in chocolate. The little bag is a dollar and it may have 6 pieces in it. The squares or a generous size and they are delicious if you like that sort of thing. Thing is for me, once I open the bag, it is hard not to keep going back till all 6 pieces are gone. Good thing it's only 6. Yum....
I swear they put something into them to make those yummies keep you going back and back, until they are no more!
Who doesnt like that sort of thing????
