One thing after another happened during my Once-a-Month grocery haul. Forgot my debit card, had to re-ring my items three times, broke a glass, broke a soap bottle, spilled milk, store closed before I could shop, card reader wouldn’t work… I can’t make this stuff up. 🤪 BUT here we are with a house full of food for our large family. After a crazy shopping day, it ended with the most SHOCKING and SWEETEST Surprise!!
Let’s Go Shopping!

Oh my gosh, I know those days when NOTHING goes right and it’s just keeps crashing and crashing and crashing. You did the right think… BREATH and EAT CHOCOLATE. And wow you were meant to go through things and be later and meet a viewer who gave you the gift card, that had me filling up with tears too. You would’ve missed them otherwise. I love it when someone ‘pays it forward’ like that helps someone just when they’re feeling in the depths of a bad day or bad situation. Tomorrow’s a new day, the glass can be cleaned up, you’ve got more money tomorrow than you had today (coz you didn’t spend it), and the groceries will still be there tomorrow. Don’t take it personally when the day was best to stay in bed or indoors, it means that yesterday’s bad day is done and tomorrow will always be better. Sending you lots of love, hugs and blessings. Amanda from Cornwall, UK 🇬🇧 🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻

I dropped and broke a large bottle of Bragg's Apple cider vinegar in a large store. it stunk up the whole shop, everyone was looking at me and I felt so guilty as Bragg's is horribly expensive here. I wanted to sink into the ground from embarrassment.

Having worked in a store and cleaned up lots of Braggs myself, don't worry about it. We see this stuff all the time, and sometimes we are so glad it isn't a biohazard. Don't be embarrassed, stuff happens.

Leftover seedless grapes can always go into smoothies (always my go to answer for excess fruit). There was a tik tok viral recipe trend involving freezing grapes inside a ziploc bag with powdered gelatin sprinkled all over them before freezing them. Maybe the kids would enjoy that? You can always flavor your Fage yogurt with a dollop of lemon curd or any flavor of jelly you have. Plain yogurt with a swirl of lemon curd is simply delicious.

You were a trooper! I'm so sorry all those random things happened, but I am glad you found some kindness in it all. I wanted to give you a big hug! Zoup is awesome. I have been a sipper when I was sick but I prefer it in cooking too. A note about the sleepy cereal... there is an ice cream called nightfood that has a lot of magnesium in it that can help you relax. Chances are that's what the cereal has. I'm skeptical about eating carbs before bed though.

Hey Megan..wanted to tell you there is a cold brew kettle on Amazon that I use, then when it's done brewing I put in in a tall Mason jar and put a lid with a handle also from Amazon ( was was from Walmart) then I add my favorite creamer..so then I have cold brew coffee for a few days

The Champaign-Urbana Meijer's often has really exotic produce, like the banana leaves. I was there once when a teeny-tiny elderly Vietnamese woman (about 4 1/2 feet tall and probably all of 80 lbs) put 3 GIANT jackfruit in her cart. They were almost as big as she was. I was going to offer to help her pick them up, but she did fine on her own. C/U is a university town, so I think they must order in special produce to meet the very diverse demand.

@susanmcmillan3575 11 ай бұрын

Been there, done that! During Covid, I only went out every 2 weeks to stock up and I had a full grocery cart and left my card at home! Thankfully I live in a small city and could get home and back in less then 15-20 minutes! Everyone has bad days and today was yours! Tomorrow will definitely be mine lol. Our walkin cooler at work broke down on Monday so we had to shift everything into the bar cooler, which isn't big and our grocery order was coming on Tuesday so everything from that had to go into the catering cooler. Well now it is Wednesday and the part finally came in so hopefully tomorrow we can move everything back into the restaurant cooler because I need to do a grocery order, well working, and everything is scattered in a lot of places!!! On that note, eat more chocolate lol!

This shopping trip was stressful. Like I’m stressed for you 😅 I like to make my own cold brew 99% of the time. I use the same coffee that I use to make my daily hot coffee finely ground to make it a bit stronger. I have a cold brew pitcher (spot for the grounds in the center) 10/10 recommend. Also yeah I can’t wait for fall either. The other day I was like it’s basically here, right? (No, sadly it’s not) haha

They say a course ground coffee works best for cold brew (depends how good your filter is.) I just add 1/2 cup regular coffee grinds to a french press plus 3 1/2 cups of water. Cover and sit in frig for 24 hours. Then I push down the press and pour the concentrate into a mason jar and store in the frig. I use it straight with a little milk, a little Torani sugar free salted caramel and lots of ice (which dilutes it to just right.)

Oh on my salads I love to add honey roasted sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, garlic croutons, ham chunks green onions tomato avocado cilantro and Spring mix or just Romaine Lettuce yum & homemade Ranch or Asian Sesame dressing...Again I love you girl hugs to everyone and thank you a gazillion times for taking us shopping with you...I need to watch that everyday...bye for now😍

True southern cornbread isn't sweet. Mississippi girl born and raised. We make with buttermilk and never add sugar. I lived in South Carolina for a while and they used sweet jiffy mix a lot.
