While eating breakfast this morning, I took some time to make a batch of hardboiled eggs before heading into my home office to start the work day.
I ended up eating two hard boiled egg whites as part of my afternoon snack along with a sliced apple and peanut butter. (I think hardboiled egg yolks are dry and gross unless they’re deviled eggs or used in egg salad. Sadie disagrees.) I then used three hardboiled eggs (two whole eggs + one egg white) to make egg salad for lunch today.
Between my breakfast, morning snack and lunch, its been quite an eggy day!
For lunch, I topped a bed of mixed greens with egg salad, raw corn that I cut off the cob, onions, tomato, green pepper and two pickles.
Plus a handful of white chocolate-covered pretzels for something sweet.
I blame Publix for reigniting my love of chocolate-covered pretzels. They sell bags of the sweet and salty little treats right by the checkout aisle and they’ve been my latest impulse buy of choice.
When it comes to impulse buys, the foods I tend to buy on impulse include:
- Ice Cream: Breyer’s Oreo Birthday Blast. Can’t get enough.
- White Cheddar Popcorn: I could eat 30,000 servings in on sitting.
- Salad Dressing: BOGO deals and fun new flavors always intrigue me.
- Cake Mix: I seem to stockpile cake mix for some unknown reason.
They call to me!
Question of the Afternoon
- What are your most common impulse buys at the grocery store?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
I always impulse buy snack bars, various nut butters, cereal, and pretty much anything that is on a super good sale price!
Today I bought pumpkin spice bagels on impulse. It seems to be seasonal with me.
Some sort of chocolate or dessert usually manages to sneak it’s way into my cart. Last weekend, it was a chocolate cream pie. Good thing it was amazing. 🙂
Darn it, Julie! Why, oh why, did you have to show me those white chocolate covered pretzels? LOL Impulse buys… hmmm… ice cream tends to sneak in there, as well as cookies.
By the way, that egg-licious salad looks amazing. I can eat eggs every single day!
banana chips, frozen yogurt and trail mix!!
I hate hardboiled yolks too…makes me gag ick!
My impulse buys are usually magazines for me and treats for other people.
My impulse buys definitely include cereal and granolas. I can’t help myself when it comes to a new cereal on the market. Have a great Friday hun!
My impulse buys include frozen yogurt, magazines, and new flavors of my favorite protein bars like Luna and Think Thin.
I used to impulse buy like crazy at Trader Joe’s. All of their snacks and desserts are so cute and just seem to call out “Buy me!” when I see them. I put my blinders on now when I’m around those aisles—lord knows I don’t need any more chocolate or tortilla chips in my life!
Same here! Why do they have to put all the temptations on the shelves at eye level? it is cruel hahaha
Agree to Agree on all those impulse buys except replace cake mix with break&bake cookies ! I’m the worst about going to the store when my sweet tooth kicks in and I’ll come home with like 4 different kinds of cookies, some kind of chocolate covered (possibly peanut butter filled) pretzel AND ice cream…
Hmmm… I usually go with something salty — single serve beef jerky or honey roasted cashews…..if I’m feeling really generous, $-wise, I might throw in a pack of Pokemon cards for the boys 🙂
