Wednesday Fun #131 - Grocery "Get Me"s

Wednesdays (as we may have discussed earlier) are my normal shopping days. I write up my list and all that, keep an eye on the specials, maybe even have some coupons along. Virtuous shopper, right?

Cheetos are never on the list, yet somehow they manage to sneak into my cart a higher-than-my-scale-would-like percentage of the time. As do Sun Chips (do I thank Nectarine's husband or curse him for introducing me to the Garden Salsa variety? YUM!). And every now and again maybe some donut holes...

You get the picture. Make me feel better - tell me YOUR grocery "get me!" items!

My "Get me!" items aren't necessarily the ones that are less healthy, they're the ones that are luxury spending. Hello, seafood section of the butcher counter, I'm looking at you. $20/pound sea scallops really shouldn't be an impulse buy, and yet....

I'm also a sucker for the Byerly's buy one get one sales. Reed's Ginger Brew? Davanni's frozen pizzas? How'd those get into my cart?

My "Get me!" items change - right now it's Kemps 100 calorie ice cream sandwiches. Sometimes its Wavy Lays or Tostitos with a Hint of Lime.

Ice. Cream.
And the chips from El Burrito Mercado that they have at Cub. I only shop there occasionally, but when I do, those chips come home with me.
Ditto the caramel apples they have at Byerly's in the fall. Mmmmm. It's a good thing they are a seasonal item.

Oh, yes, the Byerly's caramel apples! Right there with you, AKJ.
