Grocery Shops in Review
Hubby's out of town and I had to hit up the store on Friday night and Saturday morning ... needed a few things to finish up the Meal Prep with Friends event I had on Saturday. FYI - the word friends should be singular as it was just two of us but that just doesn't read right!

As I was being rung up, I realized I totally blew off the lemon and limes! The older gentleman behind me asked if I did my shopping list on my phone ... he does and uses Alexa to do his list for him each week (Hey Alexa, add milk to my shopping list). Good grief, maybe I should try that? Wait, I don't' have an Alexa, only Siri!
Soooo ... before I knew it, it was time again as Princess and her Hubby were coming into town and well, she is pregnant so I wanted to get a few more healthy things...besides, we like to make sure everyone has food in the house, you know??
Trader Joe's - July 26, 2017

I can't even remember what exactly I went for

So ...

She asked if I wanted a few 4 packs and I told her to grab ALL of them. Well, instead, being the reasonable young lady that she is, she grabbed a case which had 12 4 pks. So, $60 was handed over to her for her good deed.
