Hello and welcome to 5K Friday over at RER 🙂 Did you run a 5K this morning?
I did. Nice and slow to get my legs loosened up for tomorrow’s long run.
Since we just moved, I am in the process of filling our little nest with twigs house wares. Definitely the best purchase of the week has to be this cereal dispenser from Target. I have eyed this thing since I registered for our wedding. Well, I finally justified buying this because it helps with portion control and keeping your cereal fresh.
I feel like I’m at a breakfast buffet when I turn the knob and 1 oz. of cereal comes out 🙂 You obviously need to get in a few good turns to get a serving of cereal, but it’s fun.
This would be a great item to have for kids. I know it’s hard for little ones to pour cereal without making a mess. They can just turn the knob and not worry about spills.
Just add milk (and banana).
Oh, and the black bananas – that’s what happens when you forget the bananas in the sun. I cut them open and the black parts are ruined.
I actually made a big SIAB after my run and topped it with several servings of cereal. I waited too long to eat and couldn’t get full. 
Today is my day off, but I have a long list of school work and house keeping stuff to complete. I’ll see you in a bit 🙂
Question: What was your best purchase of the week?
My second runner up has to be that scone from yesterday…
that takes me back to college 🙂 i would love filling up a bowl with everything!
I hate it when I wait too long and never can get full!
I haven’t made any purchases in a long time other than groceries. That cereal thing looks like fun!
Wow that cereal dispenser is great…might be looking to get one now!
Did you know you can freeze brown bananas (even without peeling them) and then put them in banana bread or banana soft serve? The brown makes them even sweeter, in my experience. For the banana bread, I just pop them in the microwave til they’re mushy, then peel. 🙂
I actually peel and freeze bananas all the time, but these are rotten because they weren’t even ripe yet, but I left them in direct sunlight all day 🙁
oh crap! I didn’t realize it was so easy for them to go bad! 🙁
The cereal dispenser looks awesome! I know what I’ll be registering for when I eventually get married!
My best purchase of the week is actually something I ordered last week and finally got. I’ve been using the same old Canon 3.2 megapixel camera for the past 5+ years, and I finally upgraded to the Canon s90. I’m seriously in love with it–pictures look amazing now!
I want this cereal dispenser soooo BAD!! Hmmmm…. maybe I’ll have to hit up the parents for an early ‘back to school’ present. You’re never too old for those, right?
My best purchase of the week would have to be the jar of Trader Joe’s Almond butter with flax and sea salt. Holy goodness, I don’t know where that stuff has been all of my life, but now it’s definitely a staple in my pantry.
That’s the kind I’m obsessed with!
Love the cereal dispenser. What a great gadget!
I bought some compression shorts yesterday that saved my inner thighs during today’s long run. What they lacked in cuteness, they made up for in comfort. I want a pair for every day!
I’ve never seen those cereal dispensers! Great idea for portion control. As for those black bananas? They look like prime candidates for banana bread! 🙂
That cereal thing looks like so much fun!!!
Today, I found pb and co peanut butters for 2 for $7! And a Justin’s maple almond for 5.99 but with an extra $1 off! I was ecstatic 🙂
that is a sweet contraption! i love it! best purchase this week, $2.13 corkscrew.
Where did you get your scones at? I am in Costa Mesa and am willing to drive for a good scone.
I LOVE cereal dispensers! We had them at my college’s dining commons and, even though I don’t eat much cereal, I loved having different options all lined up in a neat row.
My best purchase was paying to lap swim this morning. BUT I’m about to go to Whole Foods so that may all change!
Love your cereal dispensers. They had those at the cutest Bed & Breakfast in San Luis Obispo and now I think I might need some! My best buy of the week: inserts for my running shoes. Oh happy feet!
Hmmmm…this week. Well, the only thing I bought was a pandora bead…does that count. Haha! Anyway, I’ve never seen a cereal dispenser. I’m in love! I need one ASAP!
omg that is AWESOME. i had no idea they sell cereal dispensers to the public
I love hotel breakfasts b/c they have cereal dispensers!!
p.s I was NOT me!
I love this cereal dispenser! What a great way to portion.
Ahaha, I love that you bought those. I think if I had them I’d fill one with oats and the other with quinoa.
