Mission accomplished x 3
August 16th, 2009 01:31 pmAnother Sunday morning trip to the garden plot with grocery shopping & furniture buying thrown in for good measure.
Aldi's has a special buy this week on some Mission (type) living room furniture that looked decent for the price. 2 of the 3 pieces are ones we need (TV & end tables) with some pretty good pricing.
Somehow I managed to get the ex to come along with me & after scoping out the furniture, we decided to go ahead & buy one end table & the TV stand.
As a side note, I've given up on getting fruit from Aldi ... seems we end up with fruit flies every time.
Next stop was Wal-Mart (bleh) for some grocery shopping. While I am not a fan of Wal-Mart by any means, there are some things that are just cheaper there or can't get elsewhere. Big jars of Skippy Natural Peanut Butter is one such item & at the alarming rate of which the ex goes through the stuff, it's the only way to keep the pantry stocked.
Grocery shopping with the ex is very much like what I imagine it must be like to shop with a small child. Why are you buying that? Can I get this? How did this get in the cart? No, honey, we buy this brand of; etc. LOL
Even though a shopping trip always costs more when he comes with me, I am really glad that the ex accompanied me today.
Last stop was at the garden plot. Since we had groceries in the Endeavor, I stayed in the AC while the ex went harvesting. He came back with two watermelons & a very heavy bucket of tomatoes & carrots. The ex's carrots have done really well & it was fun to see how proud he was of them.
Not surprisingly, we had tomato sammiches for lunch & cooked carrots with our dinner. (The ex made the yummiest sauteed carrots!)
Sadly the watermelon we cut into was not yet ripe (it had to be picked through as the vine was dying & one end was mushy). Maybe the other one will be better.
