The birds have been getting food from me all summer and now they expect it and now that the weather is starting to turn, well... you know how it is...
So, I ventured out.
It was a pretty good day considering I managed to blow $40.02 on THIS:
Which turns out to be:
The birdseed I just had to have: 20 pounds - $6.49
This is TWO packages of Boca Lasagna - meat free for vegetarian me and 99 cents a piece. Only 290 calories in the whole box! TWO boxes of 24 family sized bags of Lipton tea also 99 cents a piece and in PERFECT condition...
It was Damn Food Day at the office for Halloween and I was NOT baking treats for those people... so I got a box of frozen mocha truffle cream puffs for $1.99
and everybody's happy.
LookaHERE: A box of Gevalia Organic Rainforest coffee packets... 50 oz. total for $4.99 -- that's more than THREE POUNDS of great coffee... And because it really IS about the birds... I found a couple of suet blocks for $0.79 a piece.
These are the big 28 oz. jars of peanut butter and I'm not familiar with the brand but the ingredient list looked pretty good... showed molasses instead of corn syrup for a sweetener. They were only $1.49 and the creatures in my house like their vitamins a LOT better when I dip 'em in peanut butter... here's one of the two cans of black olives that were 2/ $1.00 and the mushrooms were 2 for a buck too, so, what the heck... you can always use a couple of cans of mushrooms...
This one is HIGH-larious... that is a FIVE POUND container of sour cream, ladies and gentlemen, and it was $1.99! I know. I'm sorry, but how can you not buy something like that? I had to have it. Also a pound of frozen mixed berries for 99 cents and one of the blocks of suet...
This is pretty good too: You're looking at 2.5 pounds of shredded white cheddar cheese, a 2 pound bag of shredded Swiss and they were $2.99 EACH. THAT'S $1.32 a pound!! Also the other can of olives... and the real deal of the day: A case of 24 oz Diet Snapples in Peach, Lemon and Raspberry Tea flavors - $6.99 that was actually free because the cashier, I found upon later examination of the receipt, forgot to charge me... I'm going to tell her about it the next time I'm in there, too...

Also, a bottle of ok hairspray for 99 cents...
Yes, folks... all this stuff COULD have been YOURS!! The prices overall are still up over last year's by 10-15%... but, hey, things are tough all over... the renovation at the Sharp Shopper shopping center is almost complete now so their rent is prolly goin' up... I still think it's better than going to the slimy over-marketed big boxes... but that's just me...
TOTAL: $40.02, I told you:
