Shopping Trip

We just got back from being out. What torture, going to Pizza Delight and not being able to eat anything. There was nothing at all that I felt comfortable eating except a salad which cost $10 and the dressing was questionable (I'm cheap; I couldn't pay $10 for a salad that would cost less than $1 at home). The rest of the family enjoyed it, except my 5yoDD who is feeling under the weather.

We stopped at Sobeys to pick up a few things. The kids really like fruit so I had to get some but there were a lot of good buys. Here is what I got:

5lbs Mac apples (2.99)
2.5lbs Granny Smith apples (88 cents/lbs)
3lbs oranges (88 cents/lbs)
2lbs zucchini (99 cents/lbs)
2lbs eggplant (99 cents/lbs; I want to make ratatouille soon)
1 tub ricotta cheese (1.99)
small slab of emmental ("swiss") cheese (1.89)
6 big packages of turkey wings (1.79/lbs; where I live, turkey in any shape or form rarely goes under $2.00/lbs)
1 jar of fermented pickles (2.25; they were half off! I was so excited :D )
2 bags of marshmallows :o (1.19, for Christmas baking)
bag of mini carrots (1.27)

This came to about $33, which was pretty good IMO for 3 huge cloth shopping bags of groceries! (It seems like we had more than that but I don't have the slip handy to see what I'm forgetting. The turkey alone filled one bag). Where I live groceries are pretty expensive and everything I got today was half off or less (except the baby carrots and marshmallows). I get so jealous reading about the Americans and their 40 cents a pound or cheaper turkeys, which is all they seem to be talking about lately!

I recently bought a skirt at Frenchy's. I would say it was second hand except it still had the tags on it. A $45 skirt for $3.50! Well, it's falling off me already! Several times while wearing it I have had to pull it up as it droops down or slips down while I am walking. I am really slimming down. A lot of my tops are getting too baggy at the top, which sucks because I need them big to fit my bat winged arms. I am losing in weird places that make it hard to wear smaller clothes, not that I can afford to buy them. I have a tote of clothes I want to fit into but I need to lose another 25-50lbs first. I will get there!
