Grocery day!

Happy Saturday!!

Today is grocery day at our house.  I love grocery shopping, how weird is that.  It’s my favorite part of the week.

Before I got started I had a quick breakfast.  Whole wheat english muffin with almond butter and a little apricot fruit spread. Yum!

And some chocolate amazing grass mixed with vanilla almond milk.

Then it was off to the races!

I decided to go to Whole Foods today.  I haven’t been in forEver because our budget has been so tight, but since I just found out that I’m getting financial aid for school  next year I decided to splurge a bit and get some fun stuff!

First I made a quick stop at the little produce shop in town.  I live in a tiny town and there isn’t much around here, I normally drive around 25-30 miles just to get groceries (there is a wal-mart close, but  I really dislike the wally mart so  I rarely go in).  I haven’t been to the little produce shop in quite a while, but I was pleasantly surprised when I went in today!  They are carrying a lot more than they used to and they even have local organic produce now!

I got all of this for $17!

Then on to Whole Foods!  I spent a bit too much, but like I said I was splurging.  Look at all this loot!

They had samples of this peach salsa at the store and it was so good I just HAD to get some!  I think I’m going to serve it up with some grilled chicken!

Pretty much right after I took this picture I dropped the maple syrup and pretty much all of it spilled on the floor!  :(  What a waste!

I also had to have a sample of the yummy cheese!  So good!  With a cracker or two.  I think that chicken sausage is going to be what’s for dinner tonight.

Sweet treats!  I can’t wait to bust into that chocolate!

I think that’s it!  I didn’t really have lunch persay, but I had several little nibbles of some of the stuff I bought that I’m actually quite full!

See you at dinner!
