HFCS: effika’s blog

I have squeezed two weeks’ worth of groceries down to 35 dollars. Of course, I eat lunch everyday on campus and that’s a good 20 bucks a week right there. Anyway, here are some fun things I bought!

• 3 lbs of walnuts, to go in salads. I forgot the salad. :-(
• Olives. My mouth started watering when I walked past them. Olives are second only to pickles in taste.
• 2 cans of Campbell’s condensed tomato soup. I was watched by an elderly lady as I picked up the cans. She then proceeded to move 3 cans of tomato soup to the mushroom soup section, and 4 cans of soup to the chicken soup section.
• Smucker’s Natural Peanutbutter. I could more cheaply make thsi myself, but I lack a food processor to properly chop the nuts. One day I will make cashewbutter, and the world will bow before me.
• A set of 12 Ferrero Rocher fine hazelnut chocolates. These were mistakenly marked down with the rest of the Easter candy. Score! Unfortunately, I could not find a chocolate bunny. I’ll go check Albertson’s tomorrow. If I find nothing, this will be my first Easter ever without a chocolate bunny!
• Cheap 50% wheat bread. I tried using the 100% stuff for a while, but it was so tough that it made eating a sandwhich into a torturous existance. If anybody knows of 100% whole wheat bread that’s as soft as white, please let me know.
• Marie Calender’s Honey Glazed Chicken Breast tv dinner. I was going to need something to eat as soon as I got home, and decided on this over a can of Spaghetti O’s. It was worth the $2.34 I paid for it, but the chicken still had BONES in it. What kind of insane person thinks that leaving bones in chicken breasts is OK? I felt betrayed. It did contain some kickin’ rad mashed potatoes, though. Not as good as David’s mom makes, but better than the flakes I occaisonally feed myself.

HOLY SHIT LIGHTNING. I’m going to stop here for now. Yay storms! Non-Yay possible power failures!
