So we got a babysitter, and celebrated Valentine's Day on Saturday night. And what did we do? Oh, we went to the grocery store, of course. To plot out my shopping spree! (What, isn't that what you're supposed to do on your 14th Valentine's Day together? Jeeze. When did I get so old anyway?)
I have to start from a checkout. So SuperDad timed me, and it took 14 seconds for me to get from checkout 1 to aisle 1. (He claims I could run instead of walk really fast, but I have a feeling the cart may not exactly corner like she's on rails, if you know what I mean and have also seen Pretty Woman 10,000 times like I have.)
And this is the plan: Wipe out the entire gluten free section.
That's the end of the plan. After doing some timing, I don't think I'll make it past that much. The walk from the gluten free section to the diapers is probably too far, but if I've got time left, I'll try for it.
And then we went and saw Juno. And it was AWESOME! :)
Happy Valentine's Day this week, everyone!

I would be doing the same thing -- cleaning out the gluten free section. :) Glad you had an enjoyable date.
I have yet to see Juno but with all the hype I'll probably see it soon. Happy Valentine's Day!
Just came upon your blog from the Frugal Hacks blogroll. What great news! How cool to win a shopping spree. I hope you clean out that gluten free aisle and make it to the diapers. I'll be cheering for you.
Thanks everyone! :) I'm really excited (and nervous, and a little embarassed, hee)!
I'm so jealous! I just started being GF - but I have been frugal for a while - I am reading your blog daily for tips and tricks - and I would LOVE any you wish to share :-)
Good luck with your shopping spree!

Welcome Kim! Well, this big free batch of GF stuff should certainly help my frugality... at least for the next few months! :)
But from what I see everyone else gets from CVS and Walgreens (which we don't have here), I've got a whole lot of catching up to do!
When is your shopping spree, anyway? Good luck! Either way, really, it's great to have a minute in a store to get whatever you can. Even if it means running down one aisle while chucking things into your cart. Just don't throw glass jars into the cart! ;)
It's pretty soon. Was that vague enough? ;)
I keep joking about the stuff I could get - like a whole bunch of those giant cans of fruit cocktail. Or a canned chicken. Ew. LOL.
What a romantic valentine's celebration! ;)
Good luck with the shopping spree. How lucky your store actually has a gluten free aisle now! One stop shopping!
What fun! I think I would wipe out the meat section and repackage everything and freeze it.
Be sure to post pictures of what you get :)
