At these prices I decided I'm just gonna go ahead and eat the salad mix, even though it has brussels sprouts. I asked my husband if he likes them, and he didn't know, he's never had one. He's in his 60s! I guess his mom didn't make them, and he's been eating my cooking all these decades, and I certainly wasn't making them.
I understand deploying them in nonresidential areas. But this is just way too intrusive.
I'm disappointed that I blew out the budget, I was so close to staying under $50 for the whole month. But I was shopping while hungry. Anyway I got ham and bread for 8 sandwiches, with plenty of extra ham to add to the salads, with dried cherries and croutons. Also some fresh fruit and green beans. And other dried fruits as a small luxury. If I'd skipped those and made my own bread instead of being a lazy bum, the $50 budget would have been plenty.
I ate a couple pears before the photo. The fresh produce was two dollars total in flash food. I wasn't sure if the melons would be good, but we cut up the softest one for dessert tonight, and it was great, not overripe at all.
I don't even know why I ate the pears. Before going shopping I cut up 28 pounds of other pears this morning, $14 total in last week's advertised sale. I'm tired of looking at pears. But in a couple months I'll have 5 gallons (26 bottles) of pear wine.
