So I'm quite excited about the amount of goodies I purchased with my near budget today(meaning I still went over budget but in an acceptable +5$ way). That goes to show what my town can offer, if i look forward most to shopping for my edible essentials. But then again I've got this sort of stalker relationship with food, I'm always looming around the veggies, my eyes burning their gaze into the bok choy as if it were a stir fry :P I thought it was astounding what I racked up, I decided to showcase the yummies, so that I can make you all salivate with such tantalizing greens ;-) Perhaps you will be inspired to munch on those delicious produce items after viewing the pleasure they grant me ;-) I spent a total of 54.41$ Pretty reasonable since I always try to buy organic and local!





*drum roll* Presenting :
~Baby Button Mushrooms @ 2.29$/lb (conventional but local they don't sell organic bulk mushrooms) I got 6.32$ worth, these are the shrooms for me! Everyone comments on how large my package is ;-) But I can go through them before we hit thursday *pace thyself*
~Portobella Mushrooms x 2 @ 3.99$/lb= 2$
~Tofu, organic, local, bridge bulk kosher x 2 @ 2.29$/lb=4.65$
~Sami's Millet& Flax Spanish Lavash @ 4.99$ (this is quite my treat, treat for what, who knows since I do nothing all day haha, but it's gluten free and makes me want to wrap myself in one, kinky!)
~Organic Avocado x 1 @ 1.99$ ( i adore them but usually only get them with the lavash ^.^ since they are quite expensive and they are amazing when paired with lavash and I like to just get them on top of it instead of mixing it and polluting it with other ingredients!)
~ Organic Baby Bok Choy @ 2.99$ = 3.17$ (it was like adopt a baby week there, so many cute and tiny produce items .^.^ (which would be irresistible to Hareema's glowing stare)
~Organic Rose Gold Potatoes @ 1.99$/lb=2.93$ ( I just wanted to feed them to a tiny bunny, that's how small some of them were!)(do bunnies eat potatoes? There are some around my house but I'd never hold them captive~)
~Organic Green Beans @ 2.99$/lb=1.30$ (they are prepackaged but so snappy and crunchy!)
~Japanese Eggplant (conventional &local) @ 1.40$/lb( what a steal steal steal and they were adorable too(no i didn't buy my food based on immature aesthetics, well...!) =1.92$
~Organic Kale x 1 @ 2.49$ (I promised myself I would actually eat them this time haha they are like bananas, I get them but just never want to eat them, regardless of knowing their great nutritional value(they are rather intimidating, kale!)
~Organic GrannySmith Apples @ 1.99$/lb =3.94$ (nice and tart, just like me ;-))
~Bionature Organic Whole Peeled Tomatoes x 2 @ 1.99$/can
~Bionature Organic Tomato Paste x 1 @ 1.49$/jar :D :D :D I've really been craving this lush stuff, I eat it out of the jar, it's one of my favorite snacks , rack up that lycopene ;-)
~ Organic Yellow Corn grits @ 1.69$ (one of these days I'll get around to making polenta! )
~Annie's Organics BBQ Sauce in Sweet and Spicy. @ 2.79$/ bottle. YES Just after I've overdosed on this sauce they start selling it on sale. Hallelujah!!! I can finally lather my self up in it and take a bath!
~ PetPromise Canned Cat food for my purrball! @ .99$/can = on sale, he shall eat well tonight and every night after that~
well, what do you think ? I feel pretty triumphant that I was able to get cat food, a treat, bbq sauce!!!!! and some canned tomatoes while on target! if I hadn't splurged for the Lavash I would have been on budget, but who likes perfection? :P plus I eyed this gorgeous Mango sorbet that I decided to reshelf, next time you will not slip away from me! Who wants to be treated to fine dining tonight? won't you join me? After every food trip I always allow myself to not be modest when I prepare that night's dinner. Somehow I am incapable of making only one serving, but my stomach is bigger than my eyes! :P Plus I am thinking of taking photos of my pantry once a week and asking you lot what I should whip up from what I have stocked! Get your thinking berets on ;-)
