One Apple One Dollar

by runeatrepeat on March 12, 2010

Since I normally buy produce in bulk (at Costco) I don’t really think about how much certain things cost individually.

This afternoon I was craving an apple so I stopped in the store for an apple and DP. As the title says, the apple was $1.00. Interesting. I think it’s a good idea for me to be reminded how much fruit and veggies cost because I feel like I spend soooo much money on them at Costco, but I am really saving money. appleI also had some trail mix, but I’ll spare you the tragic camera phone picture. 

Dinner was white doughy cheese bread – definitely the highlight of the meal. I usually make a healthier version of this bread for myself and this kind for Ben. But – I always end up stealing some of his because it’s better – so this time I just made some for myself too!IMG_6197

Plus tomato soup jazzed up with chickpeas (shocker, I know) and corn…IMG_6198

See you Friday morning :)

How big a container do you buy of chickpeas?(Not that I’m judging at all; they’re easily my favorite bean and I could rip through any can :-) )

Buying food in bulk will really help you save some money. =D But here where I live, there’s not much difference.

That seems expensive for an apple. I buy a 5lb bag of organic apples for $3 here, but Upstate NY produces A LOT of apples so that might be why. That does look like a mighty big apple though!

It took me a second to realize what ‘DP’ was…my first reaction was “That happens at Trader Joe’s????”

Sometimes you just need doughy white bread. It’s good for the soul.

A little white bread and cheese never hurt anyone….it looks amazing. I miss doughy bread since going gluten free.

That cheesy bread looks fantastic. I remember as a kid we would put american cheese on bread and then lay it in the oven. It was ready when it was just starting to get brown spots on it. Now I want cheese toast.
