Budget Raisins

Posted by Cabol on Tuesday, March 17. 2009 at 12:51 in Cabol

Most mornings I have a bowl of oatmeal with raisins for breakfast. Since I'm cheap, I buy generic raisins (and oatmeal, but this is about raisins). Lately I've noticed that the generic raisins have a LOT of twigs in them. I try to pick the twigs out before the raisins go in my bowl, but they are sneaky things those twigs and Anya likes to sneak non-de-twigged raisins in when I'm not looking. I am seriously considering switching to name brand raisins. I ask myself every morning, "Is saving $1 every couple of weeks worth eating twigs?"

Heck, you'd have to pay me more than $1 just to eat the raisins!

I buy raisins at Aldi's and they are very good. It's a discount grocery store.

Alas, the nearest Aldi's is 50 miles away. There is a discount grocery store that opened recently, but we haven't been yet.

Spend the extra dollar. Life is short. Love, Linda

Yeah, totally not worth it. Donate all those extra clothes you have (in the above post) along with some other stuff, and use the tax deduction to pay for your good raisins!

Oh go for yummy craisins instead!
