I'm making out a grocery list....believe it or not, just about everything I had for the Reunion is now gone. We did eat good....didn't we!?!? ;-)
Anyway - I noticed I always start out with the same things on the top of the list....I buy them every time I go to the store, whether I need to or not.
1) Toilet paper - This is one woman that will NEVER run out of that paper gold!!
2) Coffee - I have a 1lb bag of beans on the counter......gonna buy 2 more, just in case.
3) Cheese - that is the one item we have left from the weekend, I don't care. I want more. I love cheese. Especially MELTED cheese. It makes me happy. I can never have too much of that.
4) Flowers - I love fresh cut flowers. Love Love Love. Last week was so hectic I didn't pick any up. That NEVER happens in this house. I have a vase I keep full in the foyer. I have a small table that usually has a large bouguet of roses - yellow are my favorite. I noticed last night - none, not one fresh flower in this house. That will change this evening. And yes, I do buy a new bunch everytime I walk past the floral department of the grocery. I have many vases.
5) OJ - I love orange juice. I have at least one glass a day. Usually two. And yes, I only buy one brand....Tropicana. If it's just me I get the Low Acid so it doesn't hurt my tummy. One time I was cleaning out the fridge and realized I had 2 full gallons in there. Good thing there's a 6 week shelf life! But can't help it....I push the cart past that section and automatically pick up a gallon.
So what are some of the items you HAVE to have on your list? What do you always make sure you have plenty of? /keep it clean folks...I know exactly where this crowd could go!/
Posted by Tammi at February 17, 2005 09:27 AM1) Dieat Mountain Dew - I need my caffeine and that is my prefered format for it. in 24 oz bottles.
2) Cheese - I love cheese, really good cheese. And this close to Wisconsin you get really good fresh cheese. Not that funky California crap. Happy cows my ass, if they didn't keep stoned I don't know how anyone would be happy in California.
3)Pepperoni - Stapble meat product. This stuff goes with everything Pizza, Salads, Eggs, Sandwiches or just to snack on... with Cheese!
4) Water - I drink about a gallon of water a day and our tap water is damn nasty.
5) Absolute Mandrin Vodka - it mixes with the Diet Mountain Dew rather well.

Cookies, specifically Keebler Chocolate Lovers. Recently I have taken a liking to the Keebler Elf Sandwich Cookies, double stuffed Fudge.
Cheese - I love cheese. Sharp Cheddar, yum
Chips and Salsa, somewhat healthy snack.

Posted by: Pammy at February 17, 2005 09:19 PMDiet Cherry/Vanilla Dr Pepper - New drink on the market and already my favorite, must have it in the house at all times.
Eggs - Usually buy them 3 dozen at a time as they are used alone and in recipes A LOT!
Juice - for the youngest boy
Milk - for the youngest boy (mama, moh milk?)
Parmesan and garlic Cheez-Its - They are addictive.
I buy my toilet paper at Sams club because I can get 94754837346 rolls for like $10 bucks.
