When it says Libby’s Libby’s Libby’s on the label label label,
You will like it like it like it on your table table table…

Did the groceries today. I hate it! I hate spending so much for so little. I was getting some fruit for me. Yes, I got some fresh oranges but I wanted some peaches and mandarin oranges which are not in season. So off to the canned section. Since I had already decided that I don’t care for the Dole Mandarin Oranges, I looked for the DelMonte. They had them but they were more expensive. Publix has their own brand and I took a chance. Interesting that their price was the same as Dole’s. Suffice it to say, I don’t care for the Publix Mandarin Oranges. I got some Peaches too so we will see. Not worth saving some pennies for something you don’t like.

Then I started thinking about what kind/brand we used to buy in Michigan. The Mandarin Oranges came in smaller cans with a green label. I don’t remember the brand but I didn’t see them at Publix. Then I recalled Libby’s and their annoying jingle. I think they might have been the first to can with light syrup instead of the heavy syrup we were used to. And we preferred them. I don’t recall seeing them at Publix.

I also wanted more freezer pops. I really liked those Soda Pops. I finally asked and found the sad selection Publix carries. Two varieties of Flav-o-Ice. I stopped at Walgreens and got 4 boxes of Soda Pops. They had no Root Beer but I don’t think I will miss it.

When did groceries get so expensive?

I guess I should say that I am spoiled when my dad comes down here. He feeds the kids most meals and does the grocery shopping. He pays for the groceries too. He said costs went up but, come on!

I went today to get some things. My cart was about 2/3 full. The final cost was $123.35! And I had forgotten my debit card so I had to pay cash. Oh did that hurt.

Besides the cost, Vera has it in my brain to avoid all high fructose corn syrup. Yeah right. So the yogurt I found that didn’t have it was 50% higher in cost. Joy. So to eat healthy is more expensive too. Life sucks.
