Last week I wasn't able to afford a lot of fresh fruit and veg, but luckily for me Sprouts is having a great sale on produce! I know I've said it before but Sprouts has a bit of a reputation for being expensive, and on certain fancy specialty items they are, but those items are expensive everywhere! They have great deals on produce, and their bulk items are very fairly priced, including their spices. Actually their bulk spices are cheaper than Winco!!

I got the sweet peppers and tofu at Smith's everything else at Sprouts. I just can't buy tofu from Sprouts after the exploding tofu incident of 2018! I spent around twenty dollars total. Not bad right? It would have only been around sixteen dollars, but the live probiotic soda was on sale and I treated myself!

It's so funny what we rolled our eyes at when we were young and what we have become to adore when we get older! We had a similar conversation during the holidays...we hated getting socks and underwear as a kid for Christmas but now as adults we actually wish and hope someone would gift us socks and underwear! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so freaking true!!!! AAAGGGHHH!
DeleteA great little haul. I can understand your reluctance to revisit the Sprouts tofu after the explosion! It is summer here, and I am loving salads with tofu in them. Peanut sauce would be an excellent addition.
ReplyDeleteTofu on salads is really so good. An the peanut dressing made it! I bought a bottled peanut dressing once and it was so thin. I like it a little on the thicker side!
DeleteThat all seems like a great deal for about $20! I think shopping anywhere can be affordable if you know what they sell at a good price vs other stores. Yay for salad!!
ReplyDeleteRecently my favorite iceburg lettuce got stupid expensive and i swapped to that softer fluffy leaf nappa cabbage for salads and have been very into it! Great when shredded super thin and tasty stir fried or in soups. Romaine still makes me nervous!

I do really like Napa cabbage. I like it in spring rolls and also to use like a lettuce wrap. Unfortunately for me cruciferous veggies are best cooked.
DeleteI feel okay about Romaine, but I will only buy it from Sprouts or Trader Joe's. I don't know why but I trust them a little more.
I've been using the sales circular from my local store a lot lately and my meal planning is now shaped by what's on sale. You do what you have to sometimes! I don't blame you for getting the soda you love. That's why we scrimp--so we can have the good life every now and then.
ReplyDeleteI am not ashamed to use the sales flyer! I o the same thing, I look at the as and then think about what I want to eat based on what I have and the sales.
DeleteI feel lucky that I was able to get some veggies and the soda! I'm living like a queen this week!
That salad looks super tasty!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It really hit the spot. All last week I was dying for a salad!!
DeleteThat salad sounds amazing! I've never thought to have peanut sauce as a dressing but count me in! I wish I could find those sodas, I've been really wanting to try them!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good as a dressing!
DeleteI hope you can find the sodas sometime too! They're really, really good!!
A salad with peanut sauce and tofu sounds amazing; I'll definitely have to try that sometime! Cute little cuddlers!
