Silly person. I'm *proud* to shop at TJ's! Well, ok, not proud, but not
embarrassed. I stopped by there today for some grape seed oil...and ended
up spending $50. I bought a pacific salmon frozen thingy with mojito sauce.
Not my usual sort of thing, but they were sampling it, and it was GOOOD!
Some blueberry juice, OJ, frozen blueberries, organic pasta. Some
convenience foods: microwave jasmine rice packets, sliced crimini
mushrooms, sliced up mixed veggies, frozen mac'n'cheese (only good frozen
mac'n'cheese I've ever tried)...actually[1], I did pretty well. I don't
usually get out of TJ's for less than $80.
So...I need to work on that only getting what's on the list thing. But I
see stuff, and think, oh! I forgot to put that on my list! And into the
cart it goes. I did just slam together a 5 minute curry with the mushrooms
and veggies, with the jasmine rice, that I must say was pretty good.
