Shopping Day | November 15th

Tweet

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well! Today (Friday the 15th) was a busy day here as it was shopping day. Once a month (as long as weather permits) we go out of town for a big shopping trip. There is a bigger town 45 miles or so away that has a lot more stores than anywhere near her. The towns closest to us only have a Wal-mart or a small grocery store. Anyways.... We started off by going to Winco - which is a grocery store with a big bulk section. If you wonder why it is called Winco - it is because of the states the store is in (in the states). There I got a lot of stuff I will need when going back on Low Carb soon. I did get some snacks that aren't low carb too - since my husband and son don't do low carb (and for me to enjoy a little before going back on my diet). Then, we went to Target. That store is pretty expensive, so for the most part we just look around. I did get some of the new Quest bars (a caramel flavor). After that we went to lunch; iHop. The meal was pretty tasty! I got the new holiday pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs and meat. We went to a restaurant supply store because we were told they had 10 pounds of halibut for $30 something...but my grandfather told us wrong - it was 3 pounds for $30 something which makes more sense. I did get a Torani syrup that I was wanting. Then we ended the trip with Wal-mart. Yes, we have 3 Wal-marts we could have gone to closer....but this is a bigger Wal-mart which usually has a much bigger selection of items. I got more low carb foods, and such. Also got stuff to make something for my son's birthday dessert. I can't believe he turns 6 on Tuesday! At least with all of those stores, I do get a lot of walking in for the day! Ending the day with over 8,000 steps - usually I get somewhere in the 3,000 range. Sharing a photo from the day -- my son being happy shopping. He got to go on the trip this month since the schools had the day off.
