Jewel-Osco trip was very successful. Even got a Jewel card that saved me $5.07. I spent $76.00, but got enough food for at least 6 dinners, 7 breakfasts, snacks and and left-overs for lunch. The cashier was a very interesting character. I listened as he asked every individual in front of me in-line what they studied in college and then threw them a trivia question pertaining to that subject. The guy in front of was a Physical Therapist Major and was asked, "What is the largest muscle in the body." The response was the Gluteous Maximus. Then it was my turn, I debated which subject to tell this dude I studied. I told the truth and said Psychology, knowing that I can barely remember any definitions or theories. He asked me what "Acrophobia" was. I went through my list in my head and battled with Agoraphobia and Arachnophobia and nailed it on the head! Fear of heights! Good guess. That guy amazed me. I hope to be in his line next time and I will say "GYNOCOLOGY!" (even though I didn't study that..)
Anyway, I successfully purchased everything on my list except a few things, but wisely substituted those things..
Yellow Squash Zucchini Green Pepper Potatoes (they substitute each other well due being Mat's faves)Tomato Avocado (both fruits that pose as vegetables)Oats Crunchy Noodle Things (pushing it!)
Bread Tortilla chips (I am reaallly pushing it)- El Tapatio Hot Sauce -Do I need an explanation!?
- Apples &Bananas were the fruits on sale and go well with the ENORMOUS jar of P.B here
$76 is great for all of that! If you stick mostly with the peremeter of the store, you are good - mostly produce, bread and not too many packaged and processed things.
