Mom was going to come to Richmond and we were going to drive up to Ikea today. But I'm sick, so the trip is off. I don't really have any money for Ikea anyway. Though I am a bit disappointed I'll be missing Trader Joe's. There's one not too far from Ikea and I was going to take grocery money with me. I hear TJ's had lots of good natural foods for

Trader Joe's is great, but it seems to be easy to spend more money than you intended because while the stuff may be cheaper than a regular store, some of it can still really add up. Also, I feel some of the items are geared more towards single people, or people without kids because it's all in small packages. The produce seems to be like this, and I find the produce expensive. Some of the things I really like are brown basmati rice at 2.50 for three lbs., packages of curried tuna for 1.39-it says it's two servings, but it seems more like one, makes a great quick lunch with rice. Steel cut oats are a good price, milk and eggs are what they are in the grocery store. Beer and wine are super cheap, haha.

trader joes rocks! you can buy a huge chocolate bar (pound plus) for very, very cheap. a big hit with greg!

but yes, i buy organic pop tarts for my picky breakfast eater, coffee beans for greg and plenty of other things for cheap.

i easily drop $200 for 6 weeks worth of goods.

hope you're feeling better soon.
