This giveaway is closed.  Thank you for entering!   The winner has been announced.    it's no secret:  i love to shop.  however, shopping for groceries?  um, not so much.  when it comes to groceries, i'm not one to stick with a budget nor do i use coupons or price match. seriously, i don't have time for that.  i'll scour an ad and go.  i don't meal plan by what is on sale.  i also choose NOT to shop at multiple stores just to get the best deal.  of course, there ARE items that i will only get at certain stores...but that's different. when i was approached by mom central to do a little grocery shopping at one of the newly updated food lion stores in my area, i jumped at the chance.  why?  this was my chance to give a second chance to a grocery store that i rarely … [Read more...]

small talk six – i hate grocery shopping.

March 6, 2010 by · 9 Comments

really, i do.i especially hate it because it seems like we're always at super walmart {sundays are the worst!}. i suppose i could shop somewhere else, but i honestly get the most bang for my buck at super walmart. but {and there's always a but} they reel you in & you almost always end up leaving with much more than the, oh...say, SIX items that were on your list.so, for today's small talk six session over at momdot, name six items that are on your grocery/shopping list every week. are you ready for my list? don't get too excited. it's pretty damn boring if you ask me. {make sure you've had some coffee before reading this because it's guaranteed that you'll yawn...}bread - i try to buy 'healthy' bread {like a honey wheat or 12-grain} but we recently fell in love with italian … [Read more...]

the date.

We slept in on Sunday morning. I normally don't like to spend my day asleep, but waking up at nearly 11am on a cold, drizzly Sunday was nice. Very nice. It was extra special nice because the kidlets were at Adam's mom's house & the puplet was still snoozing, too.We decided not to spend the rest of the day in bed. We were childless. We needed to take advantage of it. We woke up. Got dressed. Grabbed a bite to eat. Then, we headed out. Just the two of us. Alone.The hubs was sweet enough to take me by Bath & Body Works to pick up some Wallflower refills. After that, the rest of our day went like this...We strolled aimlessly. Sometimes we held hands. Sometimes the hubs had his arm around me. But mostly we walked side by side. Slowly. We chatted. We pondered. We spoke … [Read more...]

Trader Joe’s

May 12, 2009 by · 3 Comments

Watch out, Wal-Mart…as much as I love it when you roll back your prices, there’s a new guy in town who makes my grocery shopping experience all the more pleasant. True, I can’t use coupons, but the selection and variety of good-for-you foods is worth more to me than my savings at Harris Teeter during triple coupon days. It might not be convenient for me to just swing by the store on my way home, but I would much rather get my produce there than at the Farm Fresh just minutes from my house. And, while I love the gourmet feel of The Fresh Market, I can still get my gourmet on and NOT have to take out a small loan to replenish my bank account.Trader Joe’s is open now in Virginia Beach. If any of you out there are familiar with this grocery store, you will know why I am head over heels … [Read more...]
