Food Lion won our money this week and it’s all the tomatoes fault. Last week Denton commented that the tomatoes were absolutely terrible. In the stores’ defense, I don’t think it has anything to do with the stores, but everything to do with the fact that it’s MAY and no one has local tomatoes yet. So, they are being shipped here from Timbuktu and therefore taste like sand.
By the way, if your family is addicted to carbonated beverages like my family is ( with the exclusion of Liv, who only drinks water, tea and coffee! ) you may want to hear about Food Lion’s versions of Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. You know that I am a Coke girl, but when all of my stores have a 12 pack for $4.99 and UP, I am going to find an alternative. The consensus at my house was that the Mountain Lion and Dr. Perky (which are atrocious names Food Lion!!!) weren’t bad at all. And for $2.08 for a 12 pack I was pleased.
In other news, I am very happy to look at my receipt and see that a big portion of my shopping list is fruit and veggies. Which means, if we ever get our garden planted will cut back on what I actually spend at the store this summer! Yay for gardens!
I also discovered a new saving app called Fetch. If you enter my referral code – QF4TJ – you’ll automatically get 2,000 points added to your account. It’s easy and free!
