There is so much sugar in the house

October 29th, 2006 at 01:46 am

and I can't have any of it! I took my older son to a Halloween party tonight. I was surrounded by yummy food that is definitely NOT on the South Beach diet (ziti, garlic rolls, all kinds of chips and snacks, pizza, cookies, cake, even rice krispie treats coated with chocolate!). But I did good...mostly. I had a half slice of thin crust garlic pizza with a salad and fresh veggies. Anyway, ds brought home a sack full of candy. Oh well - it's only once a year. This is the first year he has cared at all about Halloween, although the Buzz Lightyear costume might have something to do with that Smile
I ran out to the discount grocery today and had a ball - too much of one. Spent $59 when I only planned to spend $40. I spent $9 on three cans of Planters Deluxe (no peanuts!) mixed nuts, another $10 on three packages of boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders ($1.49/lb. - I stock up on chicken breast when it's under $2!), two pork tenderloins for $1.49/lb, and tons of fresh veggies. I got slightly bruised cukes for $.10 each, two broccoli heads for $1.49, I could go on and on. I love that place. Sure, you have to check the expired dates carefully...but most things are good past the date anyway. Today I bought cheese (cheddar and cottage) that were past the date - we'll see how they are (the cottage cheese was $.50 a carton, cheese was just over $2/lb.). Anyhoo, definitely done shopping for the month (all three days of it!).
Made the car payment yesterday - have a few cc payments to make. Otherwise, no huge bills on the horizon...oh yeah, 'cept Christmas Smile

    Jodi,

    I have a bunch of South Beach coupons, $1/2 entrees (I think). They expire on 11/5, so they won't make it to you on the train, but if you want I can send them up to you separately. Let me know if you want them and I'll get them out first thing Monday morning...
