Trading my virginity for cheap prices

1. Sorry about the blog-out. I just haven't felt inspired to write anything... though I actually do have a backlog of photos I have taken over the past two weeks. I'll get to them some day.

2. Now, please stop the snickering and snooky comments about my virginity. Two kids is proof positive that it no longer exists anyway. This is a story of another sorts.

As Bill can undoubtedly verify, I grocery shop each week at three different stores - Publix, ALDI and COSTCO. Each store has unique items that I prefer, and I basically have my shopping process down to a science.

Because of this ultra-organization (not something I'm generally known for!) I have been hesitant to venture into any other grocery-type stores, thus I might need to now visit four stores each week for specifically tagged items.

For a long time I have been reluctant to tackle Trader Joes, afraid that I might love it too much. And since there is not a Trader Joes extremely close (15-20 minutes each way in decent traffic) and I'm already a fan of ALDI's $3 wine, I have been able to avoid it without guilt.

Well, thanks to Liz's bad-girl influence I'm now a Trader Joes Floosey.

The unique options! The great prices! The fun atmosphere!

And of course, the free samples, cookies, balloons and stickers... what more could a woman (or a three year-old boy) ask for from a new romance?

I guess next time I'm at COSTCO I'd better gas up the van. It looks like I'm gonna be driving a little more.

How did I miss this? Why is my blog not loving your blog? Anyway, glad to know you're now a cheap floozy. There's no other kind to be, really.
