Howdy and Happy Friday! It’s the day of the month that we share our shopping experiences with the universe and we all get to see what kinds of prices are available where we live!
Bacon and Fozziemum co-host this fabulous event and we’ve been pawticipating the last few times and have found it AMAZING how different things are elsewhere. This month is a “RANDOM” shopping list so we’ll be sharing prices for things we’ve paid but everyone will probably pick different stuff – it will be interesting…………
Here’s the list we were to shop for:
- RANDOM condiment
- RANDOM frozen meal
- RANDOM fruit
- RANDOM dessert or sweet
- ANY RANDOM item
AND here’s what we got!
- RANDOM condiment: Curry Powder (my parents ADORE curry)
One ounce: $4.99
2. RANDOM frozen meal: Marie Callender’s Pot Pies (good when Mom and Dad don’t feel like cooking)
Ten ounce pie $2.99
3. RANDOM fruit: Fresh Strawberries!
16 Oz. $2.49 (on sale this week woo hoo)
4. RANDOM dessert: Haagen Dazs Tiramisu Gelato (just because it’s yummy)
14 oz. $4.19 (and worth every penny)
5. ANY RANDOM item: Meow Mix Cat Food (hmm……wonder why we chose that…..HAHA)
I only eat this one (tuna and whole shrimp) and the crab and tuna one……period….. They are 2.75 oz. and cost $.79 each (but I’m worth it)
Make sure and visit Bacon and see what HE’s shopped for this month………….come to think of it, you’re liable to see a lot of blogs about shopping today because this is so much fun!!!

That Haagen Dazs ice-cream looks DELICIOUS!! We only got Haagen Dazs about 5 or so years back, it is super expensive butt mom says SO worth the indulgence.

It is expensive but I think Mom only buys ice cream maybe twice a year…….so it’s a MAJOR TREAT for the old folks – oops I mean parents…….I do, however, get a lick or two for ME!

I wondered why Mom didn’t use BACON as her “RANDOM THING”……….I find bacon so much better than “random” anyway – maybe that’s why. If Bacon asked for “ONE EXTREMELY DELICIOUS AND UNFORGETTABLY FABULOUS THING” it would be bacon!! Happy fish-filled weekend doods!

Hi Madi! We escaped this last snow but I’m SO SO sorry you lost power for that long – I bet it was COLD in your house wasn’t it? Do you have a fireplace? That would be our “saving grace” if we lose power. Throughout this winter we so far haven’t lost the power yet although we did lose internet service for a day or so. That was the phone company’s fault though! I hope your power STAYS ON – even though you can get under the comforter to keep warm, I’m sure you’d rather be “out and about” in your house!!

In the summer at the farmer’s market we can get good local strawberries but these come from “FAR OFF” but are still extremely sweet and nice. Mom makes strawberry tarts with them! Blueberries and blackberries are favorites too………My Mom didn’t used to like curry AT ALL but now uses it quite a bit…….curried shrimp fried rice for instance is a BIGGIE (and I get a shrimp – before the curry is added of course!).

Sammy I had to smile at your one kind of cat food. I went searching for one kind that Tubby will eat since we went with the expensive stuff(only Fromm Duck wet-I have tried others). Found it in big city and he won’t eat it now. LOL. For some reason this didn’t have as much gravy as the last cans. He turned up his nose. Then I thought I would buy the Duck dry and no one will touch it. LOL. Funny kitties.
