Today’s lunch consisted of Costco samples and (a lot of) trail mix. After school stuff I went to Anne’s House of Nuts and Costco. Seriously, if you live near Jessup, MD you have to go the Anne’s outlet. I got a HUGE bag of deelish trail mix for $3.00! I came out with two bags of nuts and dried fruit! Field day. 
Then, I went to Costco. Gosh! That place is full of people offering you samples of high calorie stuff you don’t want to buy a ton of, but do want a bite or two 
. Today I had apple pie, chips with 7 layer dip, soup, My First Pierogie!, and other stuff I don’t recall.I normally don’t take pictures of the samples I eat, but this was out of control. 
I also picked up this “Latina” Mango from the Cost…
See the sticker! Now I like these mangoes even more 
I like my dinners like guys like their women – the easier the better. Dinner was more trail mix and pita pizzas with brussel sprouts. I love super simple, but tasty dinners like this! 
Now I am trying to avoid the trail mix calling my name and catch up on emails. Isn’t that a fancy Friday night?
Tomorrow Ben and I are driving to Conneticut to see his sister, brother-in-law (Brian) and babies! They are visiting Brian’s sister who lives in the CT. I’ve never been there and am not looking forward to the long drive. I swore off road trips after the “Road Trip to end all” this summer. But, it will be fun!
Note to self: You will be on a very long drive, bring snacks, but not trail mix.

Why is trail mix so deliciously addicting?! I used to buy the kind from the bulk bin at WF, tropical something or other, and it was loaded with chocolate disks/chips, white choclate chips, dried fruit and cashews. I only bought it once because I ate the whole damn bag in two days.
Road trips are so fun! Have a good time in CT!!
That will be so much fun! I live neat CT. What part are you going to? You can do it, You don’t have to eat all the trail mix. You always have such great snacks. You have got a lot to chose from! Have a great trip! Nothing Like being stuck in the car with someone whose company you enjoy!
I bet since tomorrow is Saturday that Costco will have even more samples. Now I want to go!
So jealous of the Costco trip…nothing like free samples!
I live in connecticut and will be the first one to say…. you’re screwed. CT traffic sucks and most of the ride is ugly. BUT, hopefully your destination will make up for it. BRING the t.mix so you can have SOME excitement.
Mangoes, i wish I’d eaten them years ago. Never knew how good they were till earlier this year!
Have a great trip and a wonderful time with your family!
the only reason i went with my mother back in the day to costco were for the free samples hahah! have a safe drive as it’s raining lots here in NE right now!
I LOVE pierogies! So so so so yummy!
Have a safe trip!
I live for grocery store samples. I love going into Whole Foods when it’s sample day. My boyfriend thinks I’m nuts, but free cheese, is free cheese.
Your first perogie ever? Eat it up!
Brussell sprouts go with anything. And is that a white chocolate chip in that trail mix? Perfecto if so
Can’t believe it was your first pierogie! I love them!
Have fun in CT!
Costco is super full of samples everytime you go, isn’t it? We dont live close enough to the costco here to be members, but we do have a Sam’s Membership – they’re not nearly as bad with the free samples everywhere.
We miss you! Come give us some updates!!
I love trail mix!!! Costco is dangerous. I usually chew gum while there so I won’t try any of the samples. Sometimes it works….sometimes it doesn’t.
