yeah, still not liking that at all. well have to see how much we can stretch some of that stuff, but we won’t really know till it’s gone, which will probably be when we leave or not long before.
in other food news, I just had something tonight that if you ever come across you should definitely not hesitate to score some for yourself. Maverick somehow got ahold of the bag and kept growling when other people tried to get some out. Tronaditas – go find some.
I even found a little commercial, haha.
your tp must be gold plated or in a REALLY big bag! I also thought with a little amusement that you buy a LOT of bread for someone who wasn’t eating bread/much carbs for quite a few months.
How’s that working? On another note, the pics from the volcano are amazing. Maeve will remember that for a long time!
I think that was a 24 pack, but yeah, still not particularly cheap – it was the Scott brand I think. not a lot of options here…
I know, but we actually only buy bread one day a week for the most part. I would definitely not choose to be eating this many carbs, but the money talks, lol.
