Oh My Wafer

March 24, 2010 by Julie 16 Comments

Yesterday when shopping at T.J. Maxx for a couple of things for our new apartment (I scored an awesome rug for $20!), I naturally found myself spending way too much time in the gourmet food aisle.

Is anyone else out there a sucker for the awesome foodie items at places like T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s?

I can’t get enough! I love trying new items I find on sale in the food aisle and yesterday I came home with Carlsbad Oblaten original vanilla almond wafer cookies.

Carlsbad Oblaten Wafers

I bought them for $3, but online they sell for nearly $10 a tin!

Original Vanilla Almond Wafers

I cannot believe how flippin’ delicious these wafers are!

I ate about a billion yesterday, but managed to save a couple wafers for dippin’ in my Greek yogurt after lunch today.

Wafer Cookies + Greek Yogurt

I think I plowed through my lunch just to get to this “dessert.” 😉

Lunch

Lunch today was an old favorite.

Tuna Salad with Sweet Corn

Tuna salad!

I enjoyed my tuna salad on top of a bed of romaine lettuce.

Tuna Salad + Romaine

Lunch

I love how a can of tuna packs such a huge protein punch.

…Aaaand I’m off to prepare for a meeting. See ya fo’ dinn-ah!

    I keep seeing everyone on the blogs scoring these fantastic finds at TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Whenever I go though, all they have is olive oil 🙁
    I want cookies too!

    I’ve never shopped the food aisle at TJ Maxx or Marshall’s, but now that I know it’s OK, (i.e., not old) I might give it a shot!

    Tj maxx is the best. Where else can you get a plunger, a Marc Jacobs bag, and some ghirdelli chocolate in one place?
