What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2024)?

[TastyReuben]

I must have spent $300 today on (mostly) groceries:

Local brewery, started by an acquaintance of ours several years ago.

Quality butter on sale for $2.49…if you bought five, so I bought five.

More to follow…

…and these:

Fresh pineapple at three places looked so green they were almost black. Had to resort to canned.

Prunes on sale.

Gum is more expensive than beer. That refill pack was $10!

TastyReuben HEY!!! I didn't know that Kroger's/Fry's carries paper cups!
I've been hunting for them ever since the lock down ... I was buying them at Dollar Tree or Walmart - nada!
So now I know.
DH likes them in the bathroom.

I love that canned pineapple juice!
Try a splash in your iced tea, ONO!!! Plantation Iced Tea - very refreshing.

I sweeten it just a touch with simple syrup made out of stevia, some fresh mint is a nice addition as well.

I love that canned pineapple juice!

That’s destined mainly for mixing with kirsch…our favorite summertime cocktail.

TastyReuben uuuhhhh, cherry and pineapple, now sounds like something right up my alley!

OH_MY_GAWD!!!!
I just put together a curbside pick up order (my cart has 27 items in it) at the local supermarket close by our condo in Honolulu.
I just wanted a few things to get us started, ya know, basics, coffee, cream, eggs, sandwich makings ...
$210 USD

I'm afraid of what the tab will be when I make up my order for the Full Monty at Walmart.

A quick trip to the spice shop, because I needed more turmeric to make Rajasthani Mango Pickle . Picked up some cumin seeds and black pepper as well, just in case.

I had 27 items at Kroger today (thank you, Kroger app) and that felt like a big shop for me.

Anyway, it came to $144 before coupons, $131 after coupons.

Kroger only today:

Good fresh tasty ones yerp, they are the pringles of fruit world

I'd rather eat a blueberry over a chip any day of the week!

Kroger only today:

...and I immediately read that packet of herbs as "baby doll"

Rice paper wrappers in a square which I’m looking forward to using. I think (hope) they’ll provide an easier roll and maybe even look nicer.

It’s for this little lunch that a YouTube reviewer guided me to on tiktok. If you don’t have a tiktok account (and it’s not auto playing for you on here) just either close the box asking you to sign in or tap the “continue as a guest” button and you can watch the vid anyway.
Warning it’s ticktok so it’s over in 13 seconds!

Four stops today (plus lunch) - Meijer (unusual for me), Kroger, Dorothy Lane, and ALDI:

MrsT hasn’t had Pop-Tarts in years and years, but she suddenly got a craving.

Thatsa lotta garlic!…

Four cloves is a lot? I suppose if it’s all going in one recipe it might be but if I only had four cloves I’d be checking the freezer to make sure I had back up garlic
