I'm tired of grocery shopping!

This is not a common feeling for me. I still have two more trips.

I have to go to Key Food for bacon bits, orangeade, penne, and buns.

Then later, once some hunks show up to help, I have to go to Associated for ice.

Happy 4th of July.

A sad postscript to the Fresca tale + Party Plans

The last two times I've gone to C-Town looking for Fresca, they've been out :(

But I'll move on. I'm having a 4th of July party in 6 days and making a lot of food. It's going to require all my grocery skills to minimize costs. I'm going to make hot dogs 3 ways, plus hot dog salad, beet salad, chick pea/orzo salad, pesto pasta salad, and probably some other things. Probably pimento cheese. I don't know what the three ways of hot dogs will be yet. Definitely baked potato dogs. Maybe taco dogs? Banh mi dogs?

Never thought I'd say this: I'm getting sick of going to grocery stores!

In the past 2 days, I have gone to:

• Trader Joe's wine store
• Bravo, to try to find something to break a $20 bill and check prices
• Associated, to actually break that $20 and get dried chick peas
• C-Town to look for $2 apple juice, which wasn't there. But I got cheese, orangeade, and orzo.
• Key Food where I got hot dog buns and I can't remember what else
• Western Beef for hot dogs, chicken, some vegetables, etc.
• C-Town to look for apple juice agian. Wasn't there, but I got oil and Diet Mug root beer
• Associated, where I did get apple juice. And jalapeno peppers.
• BQE liquors for liquor

My bike quit working while I was at BQE, so I walked home. I still have to go to Key Food for hot dog buns tonight, Gem for aluminum foil trays (unless Key food has a good price) and probably some bodega to get beer to bring to a party tonight. Tomorrow I have to go to Jesus for vegetables and herbs and Associated for ice. And then I am done.  Except for cooking.

I'm done until Thursday when I have no food because all these trips are for a party that will be over.
