Grocery Store Triumph

Howdy Ho Ranger Jo! (Full House?!) We had a very long long trip, but we made it back to school in one piece after a number of pit stops...Starbucks Frapps, Icees, PopChips...all necessary items. Anyways, when I got to school I had a package from Granola Gourmet patiently waiting for me! ;) Whoop!
This is just a teaser. A review shall commence in my next post...perhaps.
Are you on the edge of your seat?
We had to unpack and go grocery shopping last night, so no time for a keva run...BUT, we wasted no time getting over there this morning! Whew...it's been so long. How did I make it without my beloved Kevaccino? I don't want to think about it.

So, I officially love my grocery store here, near school. Look at all of the goodies I got. Okay, so the Sunshine burgers were not on sale ($3.48 for 3...hmmm..). However, the remaining items were. Ian's Mac & Ian's Fish Nuggets for $.99! WOO HOO! I have never tried either of them, which makes the finds that much better!
A kid in the candy store. That was me...in a grocery store.
Per usual.
Oh and I also found these little guys for $.50! Yep, $.50. I couldn't believe it. These are still simply a treat, but they are much lower in saturated fat (1.5 grams) than any other IC sammie I have ever seen...plus they are a creamy, cold treat and I LOVE anything in the ice cream family.
I have never had these before either, but that didn't stop me from getting 3. I should have gotten all 6 that were left (I wanted to leave some for another hopeful bargain foodie...). I hope they are tasty. I'll keep you in the know, no worries!
  • Have you ever had these "ice cream" sandwiches? Are they as tasty as they appear?
  • What was your latest grocery store triumph? Entertain us with your bargain-ways!
I'm off to organize my life. School starts tomorrow. Whoooooop?!

  1. I definitely want to hear how those are because they sound soooo good!
    I got organic whole wheat pasta for 1/2 off with sales and coupons, even though I hate pasta, haha.
    But I also got 2 4-packs of Steaz for 2.66 total, whereas they're normally around 4.49 for 1 4-pack

  4. Those ice cream sandwiches look good. I wish we had them here to try out. I guess I can always make some at home if I really want something like that. Have a good day back at school.

  5. Grocery store triumph... what a great concept!!

    For me, they're more about finding things that I've been looking for for a while... Like when my store got the PB larabar (even though i dont love it, but its growing on me), i was like YES!!! I may even have screamed of happiness in the store... lol :)

  13. when i started reading foodie blogs, i noticed a lot of people were eating chobani or oikos greek-style yogurt. i love thick yogurt, so i went looking for it here in canada. after trying five or six stores, and even googling it, i came to the conclusion that no one here in the frosty north sold the stuff!

    well, last night i was working and i had to take some clients to the grocery store. i was in the kosher dairy section when - MIRACLE OF ALL MIRACLES! - i actually FOUND SOME OF THE YOGURT!

    turns out, this grocery store - and this grocery store alone - gets it shipped in from the states. they are probably the only ones to carry it in the whole province! needless to say, i danced in the aisles and make a scene. it was a glorious day.

  21. I love finding good deals at the grocery store. All we've got near my college is a WalMart, so it's really not fun shopping here :(
