A TARGET GROCERY HAUL

 

Hello, friends!  Hope you are all well and staying safe and warm in this terribly cold weather we have been having.  Weather that is 20*F (-7*C) and I do not get along well.  After several years with no snow during the winter, we seem to be getting our fill of it this year.  We have had two storms so far and two more are on the way.  *sigh*  Here's a little video for you.

Yesterday I had a dental appointment.  I hate going to the dentist but at least this was just a cleaning and everything went good.  I met a new tech there.  Her name is Janet and she is the sweetest girl ever.  She thought I was 20 years younger than I am.  Yes, this girl is so nice!  Ha, ha!

When I got out of the dentist, I went to Target to pick up a prescription for Joe.  And while I was there I took my grocery list and shopped as best as I could.  Target is good for a lot of things, but it's not a grocery store and so I couldn't get things like fresh fish or even some packaged products on my list.  But it sure felt good to do my own grocery shopping.  Here's what I got at Target.

I got some bagels for breakfast.  We were almost out of quart sized storage bags so I got a box of them.  I use them a lot to divide up my packages of meat and store them in individual meals in the freezer.  I also treated myself to a bag of chips.  It was a half-price sale and I couldn't resist.

I got a package of hamburger buns to use with the chicken patties I have in the freezer.  I wanted a bag of yellow onions, but they were all out.  So I got one Vidalia (sweet) onion for $1.00.  So expensive!  I also have been craving these little potatoes so I got a bag of them.

There wasn't much in the Bullseye Spot yesterday that I was interested in.  But I did find these cute towels for my kitchen.  We were almost out of bread so I got this loaf.  I wanted a box of gluten-free yellow cake mix for a recipe, but this was the only gluten-free mix in the entire store.  So I got it.  I'm going to see if I can get a regular plain yellow mix, but if I can't I at least have this.

The Krusteaz cinnamon swirl muffin mix looked good.  I got the dishwasher tabs not just because I needed them, but I want to try using them to clean my oven.  I read about how good they are for that.  We'll see.  I was out of Dijon mustard and black pepper so got that.  I got some swiss cheese for Joe.  And what is Valentine's Day without a little bit of chocolate?  Dove hearts and M&Ms.

We needed both milk and sugar.  I saw this frozen dinner pouch for Mandarin Orange Chicken.  The directions say "Just add rice for a complete meal."  I'm going to try it.  Something different.

We were down to our last roll of paper towels so I got these.  I have never heard of this brand but unless they are thin and fall apart when you use them, paper towels are paper towels to me.  You just throw them into the trash.  So we will try these.  I needed eggs so got a dozen.  And these sweet little Valentine cupcakes are for dessert on Sunday night.

Finally some roast beef and roasted turkey breast deli meat for Joe.  Some Dove shampoo and conditioner for me.  And for Valentine's Day I got a pork loin that we really like.  I wanted to get steak, but it was too expensive.  I am not paying $27.00 for one little steak that would barely be enough for the two of us.  This was a little over $6.00.  Much more reasonable.  (Just as an aside, I looked at the filet mignon.  It was $47.00 for a tiny little piece.  Guess I'm not getting that anytime soon.)

When I came out there was a beautiful sunset.  I took a quick picture of it.

It was much more vivid than this.  Lots of pinks and golds.  I was going to readjust my setting and take it again but there was a car behind me so I had to just move on.  You can see the buildings of center city very faintly in the background.

Thanks for coming along with me.  Now it's time to start my day.  Hope you have a good one.

Until later...
