super steals!
so yesterday i decided it was finally time to suck it up and head to the grocery store. one cannot live on sausage, egg and cheese lean pockets once she has eaten all of them from her freezer. so off to the kroger i head. and i am greeted by the most fabulous bargains ever! i mean, it's the kroger, so i know that i'm going to be elated with the pricing! BUT YESTERDAY?!!? oh, it was better than usual. i can't figure out why, but there were 5 for $10 signs all over the place! now this was perfectly delightful when it was printed all over the lean pockets (sustenance!), but that is only a savings of 49ยข and that isn't all that fabulous.
not like the 5 for $10 ALL OVER THE CEREAL AISLE! this week, laura was able to buy name brand cereal! and i am all about the generic cereals, mostly b/c i get all irate when you try to charge me $5 for a box of cereal that tastes exactly the same as a $2 box of cereal. but not all cereals come in generic and some of those cereals are wonderful and tasty. for example, quaker oatmeal squares which are one of the best cereals ever and oh how i love them and they are perfect to just sit with a box and eat them straight out of the box, tho i have to warn you, after a bit, you will start to feel ill. so watch out for that. anyways, they were $2! as was the cinnamon life! WHAT WHAT!
well then i got all worked up. i love price comparisons between the kroger and the teeter! it's one of my endearing quirks. or one of my weird things. or just another indicator of the fact that i am what some people might call "cheap." whatever. so i was very excited about the prospect of heading to the teeter today and doing a little price comparision. which did prove that the kroger is less expensive than the teeter, but i have to say that i have just checked and the boxes at the teeter are larger and it seems unfair to compare the two w/o doing the price per ounce comparison, but i am too lazy to do that math and also, i think at that point, well i'm getting carried away.
so that is my full disclosure, but i went to a lot of effort, and i made poor jared stop at the teeter, and i would not want all of that effort to be in vain. so the usual price for 15 ounces of life is $3.09 and for 16 ounces of quaker oatmeal squares is $3.49, while at the teeter you get 21 ounces of life for $5.19 and 24 ounces of the oatmeal squares for $4.59 and i just did the math and it is cheaper, but i suppose not as dramatically as i had thought, but none of that changes the entire point of this post, and i apologize for how long it has taken for me to get that--
but cereal at the kroger this week. you're welcome.

I have GOT to get to Kroger. Oh, why did Aaron take my car today? I suppose I could have taken Saul, but he's unreliable.
