Success at Trader Joe's! (and other shopping)
It's one of the cheaper grocery stores around here. Got edemame (frozen and shelled) for 1/4 the price elsewhere. Great for my new favorite instant food: 1/2 frozen corn 1/2 frozen edemame. Let thaw. Add some salt.
"Two Buck Chuck!" Happy dance! Bottle o' Shiraz for $2.99. I'm working on it right now. Purple Moon Shiraz for $3.99. Didn't buy that, cuz I was afraid I'd end up working on it tonight, too.
Clif bars 99 cents. Nectar and Lara bars for $1.29. Big BIG Tiger's Milk bars for 69 cents. (got 3 for Small Knot) Honkin' half pound bags of candied ginger 99 cents. (got 2 for me)
After the groceries I cleaned up a spot along a wall in my room, so my bike has a new home. (two buck chuck helped with that task) Hmmm, now I'm sleeping with my bike, as well as dreaming about it....
Also hit the REI sale. A disappointment, as it has been for the last 15 or 20 years. They never should've sold their soul. I did get an Onguard cable-and-U-lock combo. The most appealing thing about Onguard is that it comes with 5 (count 'em, FIVE) keys.
REI didn't have gu/clif snot flasks. I even asked a peon in a green vest, and he said they didn't have any. Poopy. I was gonna use my 20% off coupon for a flask. (a savings of approx 80 cents)
Anybody have a favorite flask? Favorite flask attachment device? (Gu makes one for handle bars, Ultimate makes one for arms or clothes)
