Or I might have spent $200 instead of merely $110 on a lot of items I could have gone without. But hey it’s only money, right? 

The good thing  is everything I bought fit in two grocery bags so I did not have to make multiple trips to and from the car. 

 TJ’s does have some very good frozen meals that are great for days when at 5:00 AM I do not want to think about putting together lunch t0 take to work. Good to for those days that I get home from work 12 hours  after I left in the morning and am too tired to do more than throw something in the microwave.

TJ’s carries what is nicknamed as “2 Buck Chuck’s” brand of wine that sells for $1.99 – $3.49 a bottle. The Chardonnay and the Sauvignon Blanc are in what I call the category of “cheap enough to cook with but Ok to drink”.

I read Cancun Canuck’s Blog early Saturday where she wrote about Mexican junk food. I think that is why I bought the pepitas and the lime and chili mixed nuts.

I liked that the brie is round and will actually fit nicely on cracker along with a slice of salami.

I rarely buy candy but this looked delish!

I did buy some real food but I didn’t think you would care to see photos of raw chicken breast, turkey, steaks and pasta.
