Excessive Sunday grocery shopping.

Whole Foods was great for bulk foods and a few kombuchas.  The farmer’s market was perfect to get all my produce needs fulfilled.  I also got eggs and a big thing of honey.  And Trader Joe’s has the best snacks, some pretty good avocados, and delicious blood oranges.

I might be on a blood orange kick right now.  We will see.  Michael’s is coming back tomorrow from his extended business trip to Dublin and Sydney.  Finally!  No more Guinness or koalas for him.

Have a great start to your week!

Wish there was an Aldi’s back home.

Aldi, a super cheap grocery store here in Dallas, is amazing.  I got all of the above for about $50 and I splurged on a couple of items I don’t normally buy like night cream for $3.99 and battered fish filets for $2.50.

They don’t have a wide variety of items, but what they do have is pretty good quality and so inexpensive.  It seems as if everything is $1.50.  And they have a great money back guarantee if something you get there isn’t to your liking.  I bought a carton of blueberries a week ago for $1.29 and they tasted super weird – chemically, tangy, and sandy – so I threw them out.  I got my $1.29 back today.  :)

Aldi’s isn’t organic and they don’t carry any frou-frou items like chia seeds or tofu :( but they have enough of my staples for it to be a one-stop shop for me.I’ve realized when I’m not cooking for Michael and it’s just me, I tend to eat whatever the heck I want which equals some pretty random meals.  Today it was a late lunch of cherries (Aldi has some darn good cherries), a toasted battered fish filet, and a microwaved potato covered in guacamole and salsa.  Delicious and fast.  And potatoes were like a giant bag for a dollar so how could I resist.

Can’t believe that I’m going to miss a grocery store when I leave Dallas, but I already know I will.  Nowhere in San Francisco will I be able to find such great deals.

Have a great Monday tomorrow!

xoxo,

Jenn
