Fiber Enriched

Just a quick hit tonight - was hoping to get to bed early - yeah...  

So I had to go to Target today to pick up a couple of things and I noticed that Wheat Thins were on sale - they are one of my favorites!  So I went over to pick some up and noticed that the 9oz. boxes were on sale for 2 for $5.  Then I looked over at the 14.5oz box and it was regularly priced at $2.54.  What is up with that?!  Unacceptable!  Just goes to show that you need to be careful and truly look at what you are buying (or saving - or not).  Best Buy is also notorious for putting things in their ads that look like they are on sale - but aren't - and on the shelves it will say 'As Advertised' - grumble... grumble... grumble...

Then at lunch I was chatting with a friend and she had pop tarts (Jan - I thought of you and your love of pop tarts!) - but they weren't just any pop tarts - they were fiber enriched - yeah, does that make them healthy?  Healthy isn't the first word that comes to mind when I think of pop tarts - fiber enriched or not!

I know what you mean about the darn sale things!
Now that I'm on a budget I've really had to learn to pay very close attention to things. I'm over it! I want to go back to being oblivious! LOL!
It's actually been a blessing because I realized how wasteful we really were. Now I'm a penny pincher! YAY ME! xoxo
