I went to the grocery today to pick up just three things: milk, butter, onions. But then, of course, I saw stuff on clearance, and I just couldn't ignore that.
I got a loaf of parmesean bread, two containers of veggie salad mix, and a container of chopped peppers--bargains!
Since I've been longing for salad for days, I decided to add a small lettuce and some dressing--of course, that extra expense meant that the butter on my list became margarine. Gotta stick to the budget, and the budget said that my expenses needed to hover around $18. And that's just what I spent.
While I was running errands, I also had to stop at my neighbor's house today to drop off some fan blades (but that's a different story). They gave me a whole bunch of surplus cucumbers from their garden as well as some lovely cherries and three oranges.
Now that I've taken time to think while enjoying a salad, I've got some ideas about what to do with this interesting combination of bounty. It's time to get cooking!
