What is your milk and bread?

christieep · February 2011

I know people are going nutso buying out all of the milk and bread at the stores. We already did our grocery shopping over the weekend, so we didn't need anything, but we still ran to the store to get my guilty pleasure: regular (not diet) Coke which we don't normally keep in the house. So is anyone else picking up anything (besides bread and milk) to get through what may be a few days stuck at home?

We bought 4 bottles of wine, 2 bottles of prosecco, and three 12-packs of beer last night.

(We live in a dry town, so we stock up when we get the chance. But we probably only would have bought 2 bottles of wine and one or two 12-packs were we not expecting the snowstorm from hades.)

I'm so bummed we're not getting any snow! It's mid-fifties and raining here. But if we were getting a snowstorm, I'd probably get "Flamin' Hot Cheeto Puffs" & margarita supplies. Wow, now that I've actually written that out, it sounds disgusting, haha.

I stocked up on wine (2 magnums), chips (4 bags), and chocolate (2 bags). We are trying to eat healthy, but I used the snow as an excuse to indulge. We had quesadillas for lunch and now we are almost out of cheese & sour cream. We'll have to make due though, because the grocery stores are closed.

Keith is a prepper, so we definitely could have survived without going to the store, but we went ahead and went last night anyway. Yesterday was payday, so we were a little low on a couple of things.

Here's a list of things that were totally sold out at a very large new well-stocked grocery store:

2 liters of Dr. Pepper

white onions

russett potatoes

canned chilli beans

boneless skinless chicken

We got butter, eggs, milk, hamburger meat, apples, diet coke, tea, iced oatmeal cookies, elbow macaronni, spray de-icer, capri sun, and bacon. So, basically, a bunch of stuff we didn't HAVE to have, but wanted. lol We had butter, but I knew Keith was wanting to make some banana bread and that would make us run a little low. We had eggs, but I knew we'd be eating breakfast at home for the next few days and again, that would put us low. We had milk, but only whole and I wanted some 2%. We were out of un-frozen hamburger meat and I did want to get some chicken. And we were out of elbow macaroni, even though we have just about every other shape of pasta imaginable. The diet coke, tea, cookies, capri sun, and bacon were all just for fun. lol

We shopped this weekend, which led to my decision of cleansing because I cannot keep being such a fatas$ or I may actually become a huge, giant fatty! Because we heard snow was coming possiblly 3 times this week.......

We got; diet cherry pepsi, diet lime pepsi, milk and iced tea. Food; doritos, tostitos and salsa and sour cream and shredded cheese and cheese whiz and guac sauce, pretzels, peanut m&ms, ruffles chips and french onion dip, chicken, pork chops, beef, noodles, 3 diff kinds of bread, bagels...

It's seriously a wonder how Mike and I aren't obese. We should be. Embarrassed

last night's trip was for cold meds, chicken broth and milk. Tonight DH stopped for saltines and breakfast sandwiches...I have been sick so I didn't make our low preservative ones. I make soup on snow days normally so the snow day and cold went well together...

Belmont. It's not dry, technically, but there are only a handful of liquor licenses. And the wine shop near us has a kajillion percent markup, so we stocked up the next town over. (I went with the short-hand originally.)

We aren't really getting much snow/ice but last year when we were getting two blizzards back to back, we stocked up on beer and frozen pizza lol. We had also just moved into our own apartment, so drinking and eating pizza all day was like being kids in a candy store for the first time without someone being able to yell at us lol.

Sooo I've been out of these weather conversations...

It's 58 degrees here right now, and tonight it's supposed to be 33 degrees.
I feel like a p*ssy complaining......

....but I'm pretty darn cold right now lol.

And we just got milk at Costco today

I had Zach stop by Walmart on the way home from work Monday night to get a 1/2 gallon of milk and some batteries for flash lights, so he came home with those and a bottle of Bailey's. "What? I thought you said 'get provisions.' You don't honestly expect an Irishman to stay alive without a little treat, do you?" He's such a dork.
