Friday Night Flourescent Lights and Grocery Bags.

There's something about grocery shopping at midnight that brings out the frivolous shopper in me.. a growling stomach did help either. However, while spending my exciting friday night wandering the isles of the thrifty acers, I made quite a few discoveries!
So, what about those little calorie packs. Every cookie, cake, and chip known to man has been shrunk to elf size and sprinkled in little colorful bags that make us think we're making a "good choice", buying something "healthy". Really, we all know those little bags things 1/4 full! Mr. Keebler, who are you fooling!? I paid 3$ for a handfull of goldfish!!!
Reeses, m&m's, keebler, ritz, and even the knock off brands, eveyone has calorie packs! And there was a sale.... I had to stock up. All the while knowing I'd get the same for less if I bought sandwich baggies and counted out 100 calories worth of cookies in each... yes it's true. But they're so doggone convenient... I've conformed!
As for my other discoveries: Raspberry Dark Chocolate Jell-O pudding... I think only 60 calories! Also, Mint Crisp M&M's.. they're crispy and minty and good=)..more than 60 calories, depending on how many I grab each time i walk by the bowl! There's definitely a good reason not to go shopping on an empty stomach... my checking account now feels the same... Nothing a stimulus check couldn't solve though!=)
