Question Of The Day, Friday, February 1

Good morning! And Happy Friday! And Happy February! Getting closer to spring!

What is something that you buy almost every time you go grocery shopping?

With us, it's baby carrots. Pretty much every week. Why? It's The Beast's snack of choice. And she goes through carrots like you wouldn't believe. Every time she comes in the house from peeing. Every time the cats get a snack, she gets a couple carrots. When I prepare carrots for dinner, I get a nose in my butt to remind me that "Hey! I'm here! And I like carrots!" She also loves sweet potatoes, apples, frozen green beans, and chunks of butternut squash. But her favorite snack is carrots. (Our vet says that's why she's still so spry at 14....she eats good veggies.)

What about you? What do you buy?

~ Cat food - of course. And cat litter .

Every time....Cat Food! Lately too, pumpkin seeds for me, and green lettuce for fresh salads. I wish there was some easier way to lose winter weight! (Maybe that could be a future Question of the Day, what's your favorite strategy for losing weight?)

Ginger ale. I'm addicted to the stuff, and go through it like you wouldn't believe

Frozen meals for work lunches

I love ginger ale. Seagram's is the best IMO.

Canada Dry for me!

I once had ginger ale at an Uno Pizzeria. I was expecting something like Canada Dry, but no-it was like a liquid gingerbread cookie.

Blueberries. I love them in my porridge in the morning.

That sounds awful. Have you tried Canada Dry's ginger ale/lemonade blend? I tried it. I wouldn't get it again. It was meh. The lemonade took away from the ginger ale IMO.

Flavored water. And fruit - the type I buy depends on what's on sale, but I like having some kind of fruit at home.

No, I've never even heard of it. That doesn't sound like a good combination of flavors

The lemonade is kind of subtle. IMO it added nothing. It wasn't awful but I'd never get it again.

At the supermarket, bananas.

At the independent market, a quart of local Jersey cow whole milk.

We get our cat food and litter through Chewy.com, so the only thing we always get on our trips to the grocery store is milk.

I live on a very small Irish island and am all but housebound so my shopping comes in by boat every two weeks... always cat food and the chickens i feed mine on are top of the list..

Cream for coffee.

Red leaf lettuce, Honeycrisp apples, Bosc pears, bananas, navel oranges, and baby carrots. Every. Single. Week. The Spouse eats four pieces of fruit every day. We spend a fortune on fruit.

Beer.

Frozen meals for work lunches.

And kitty litter. If I buy 2 buckets every time I shop, I don't ever have to buy a bunch at once, which makes the clerk look at me funny. . .

Bananas and blueberries are probably what I buy most often. Lately, it's been raspberries too since my daughter discovered her love for them. A lot of fruits... every week.
