Emily's timing was perfect -- I needed to go grocery shopping today! I used 3 of her coupons and picked up a few other new items. Here are the highlights.
- Three Wishes Cabernet Sauvignon -- $2.99 at WF. Is this some sort of sick game they are playing with my head? Apparently Whole Foods is trying to compete with TJ's Two-Buck Chuck. See the article here.
- Snack Salad Snapea Crisps - insanely addicting!
- Amy's Lentil soup - this reminded me so much of something I had in Italy, so I had to snag it.
- Barbara's Bakery Puffins, cinnamon flavor - after seeing these all over the blogosphere, I had to give these a try
- Celestial Seasonings tea in two flavors: Gingerbread Spice and Candy Cane Lane. I always fall for seasonal crap!
- So Delicious Coconut milk, unsweetened
- Voskos Greek yogurt - it was time to try a new brand!
- An Opal apple - so here's a story. I have an obsession with Jazz apples and have been waiting forevvvvvvv for the Washington crop to arrive at Whole Foods. Every week, I ask my buddy Antonio if they've come in. It's the middle of November and they're still not in. :( Tonight he let me try the Opal crop that is a brand new blend of Golden Delicious + Topaz. DELICIOUS. Go find one!
I also picked up the 2011 Chick-fil-A Calendar.
For each month there is a coupon for a free item:
- January: Spicy Chicken Biscuit or Small Bowl of Chicken Soup
- February: Yogurt Parfait and Dasani Bottled Water
- March: Large Diet Coke
- April: Chick-Fila Nuggets (8 ct)
- May: Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad (my fave!)
- June: Small Hand-Spun Milkshake
- July: Medium Freshly Squeezed Lemonade (my other fave!)
- August: Large Sprite
- September: Spicy Chicken Sandwich
- October: Large Coca-Cola
- November: Chick-n-Minis (3 ct) OR Large Waffle Fry
- December: Large Coca-Cola Zero
For only $6, this calendar is soooooo worth your dollars. You can use them at any location and you don't even have to wait for that month to use the coupon. Trust me, I bought several last year and they were gone by errr...February. True story.
Lastly, I purchased some fab finds at Ann Taylor Loft on Sunday: black cropped riding pants, a tulle neckline dress, black suede flats, and a drape neck tee.
Have you bought any new food or clothing lately?
I LOVE snapea crisps!! I also love that chick fil a calendar - too cute!
ReplyDeleteFun win! I love puffins. I should totally pick up that calendar for Josh (and steal the parfait coupon). I just bought some really cute boots from Target, maybe you've heard of them ;)
ReplyDeleteI first bought peanut butter puffins because I wanted to find out what all the blog fuss was about. Now they're a staple! I've been looking for the gingerbread tea but I guess it hasn't made it "out west" just yet.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought a new sweatshirt and thermal shirt from American Eagle. Nothing cute like what you bought but it's starting to get cold here!
I loooove puffins. I haven't tried cinnamon, but peanut butter are the best! I keep seeing those snap pea crisps but haven't tried them yet. Maybe I'll pick them up next time I'm at the store.
ReplyDeleteLove the calendar. I'm almost positive if I ever came to visit you, I would find at least one room that was decked out with a Chick-fil-A theme.
ReplyDeleteDon't try to hide it. ;)
Snapea crisps are a healtheir pringles...you cannot stop eating them!! And as for puffins, lets just say I can no longer keep the peanut butter flavor in my house because they are just THAT good ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I bought 2 shirts ad a pair of skinny jeans at Old Navy for $2.41. That is how cheap I am.
ReplyDeletePeanut butter puffins are SO addictive.
Ooo looks like you got a lot of fun goodies. I really liked the cinnamon puffins when I bought/ate them last month :-)
ReplyDeleteI bought boots! ;) Oh, and we've been eating a lot of snapper. It's the closest thing you can get to Snook in South Carolina. Sooooo good and it's not one of those "fishy" fish.
ReplyDeleteHAAAAA!!!! I see Erica bought boots too! That's awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a better pic of the dress than the one you bbm'ed me...I think it would be great with chocolate colored tights? Do I still need to see it in person? Yes!
ReplyDeleteah! not having a computer makes me sad. i feel like i've missed so much!
ReplyDeletewinning giveaways are the best! umm...those snapea crisps are also the best. i could seriously finish the whole bag in one sitting.
love the calendar-haha!
Ok, so I need to go get that Chick Fila Calendar today! You know I love some Chick Fila and for $6 totally worth it! and I am so intrigued by the $2.99 wine, I love me some wine and that is so cheap. Question is it good?? And if you havn't tried the peanut butter puffins they are amazing, one of my favorite snacks!
ReplyDeleteI love that Gingerbread tea! It's the perfect wintery drink.
ReplyDeleteAlso those clothes are all super cute! This makes me really want to go shopping, but I haven't had the time! :(
Coupons are the best:) I'm a big fan of that Voskos yogurt.
ReplyDeleteNice haul at the Loft! Those flats are cute:)
What a fun giveaway. Loving the tea I still have a stock of it from last year lol. That calendar is awesome! The Chick-fil-A by me doesn't have the calendar which is a bummer I think my husband would love it.
ReplyDeletexo
Wahoo on the loot! I went shopping yesterday and bought four pairs of jeans. I had to. Nothing fits (in a good way!)
ReplyDeleteYou cracked me up about the "seasonal crap'. That is something I would say HA! I love the Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. Hot dang, it really is like a "sleigh ride in your mouth" - so good!
Ohhh, I love the dress and that black drape neck tee! I wantst it!
BTW, thank you, thank you, thank you for giving us the "heads up" on the Chick-Fil-A calendar. Hubby is going to be very pleased to hear this. We used all of our coupons last year. Of course, that was 30lbs ago. Hmmm, maybe I'll just use the drink coupons and let him eat all the good stuff. (Nahhhhhh...)
you are kidding me with that chickfila calendar...i'm literally laughing at my desk right now.
ReplyDeletelove your new clothes - i need to go shopping asap for some new fall/winter clothing options. i'm sick of everything i own!
That cab sounds tempting, especially at that great price! And love the purchases, as of late, I've taken to shopping and buying everything in purple :P
ReplyDeleteI always fall for seasonal crap, too... like teas and coffee flavorings.
ReplyDeleteI need some new fall clothes... stuff that can pass for casual, but can be dressed up for professional. Any tips? You always look so cute!
I'm a Celestial Seasonings tea addict. You'll have to let me know how those Puffins taste; I'm curious about them too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I am glad you enjoyed these giveaways!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try that Gingerbread tea! I bet it smells amazing!
I went clothes shopping last sunday and spent way toooo much money but it was needed!
xoxo
Whaaaaaat! I had no idea you could use your November coupon in say, February!
ReplyDeleteChick-fil-A Coupons don't expire regardless of the date. They (Chick-fil-A) take expired coupons all the time. What a company...
ReplyDeleteI'm a total sucker for seasonal stuff too, if it's labeled seasonal, I'm totally buying it ;)

I bought a badass True Grit quarter-zip sweater. Feels like it's just like off a sheep! You looked nice in your Black COAST polo the other night
ReplyDeleteTJ - Dressordine
YOu had me at new clothes! Great giveaway - lots of awesome products to try!! Love the new clothes- beautiful dress and those pants are so classic. I've been shopping a bit - shoes mostly. I posted a new dress last night too - heart free people!
ReplyDeleteI did get some new clothes but not as fancy as yours - sports bra, running long sleeve T, ruffled cardigan, and lacey leggings!
ReplyDeleteThe tulle neckline dress is my style and will definitely wear that if I had found it at the store.
ReplyDeleteLove the flats with rhinetones or bling :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I am in love with the new calendar theme--yay for the cows being back! I ask for a calendar from Santa each yr and tell him that if he buys the $20 or $25 gift card, he can get the calendar for free. I can't wait til he brings me mine this yr! I just found mine from this yr b/c it was missing in action and love that my Chick Fil A takes expired coupons.
ReplyDeleteLoveee those pants and flats! Working at a store, I clearly shop wayyyy too much L)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love the cow calendar more than the clothes, lol.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't been shopping in FOREVER. It's quite sad. No new food either. Just the usual staples—eggs, oatmeal, fruit and veggies. And ice cream :) I'm such a snore!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently hemming and hawing about what winter boots I want as my treat to finally losing weight again after a loooong plateau.
ReplyDeleteOh boy I bought way too many clothes this past weekend - lululemon and anthropology really sucked me in. Love your new clothes though!
ReplyDeleteA new chick fil A is opening near me which means free chicken sandwiches TODAY. Go ahead and fly up to Virginny and have one! Oh and call me, we'll do lunch.
ReplyDeleteI am so in need of new black flats! Love the ones you picked. And that So Delicious coconut milk is my fave. Too bad I can't get it here. Boo!!
ReplyDeleteok, loving the draped neckline tee! I need fun new long sleeve shirts because after wardrobe inventory I mainly had short sleeves and sweaters!!
