We just got back from NYC and though we took nothing, we did go to a local grocery store and buy some nibbles. So much more affordable than buying things out, even though cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery were very tempting. (Yeah the packaged cupcake from Duane Reed was not the same but it is what we had anyway) <br />Ah, the brownie mix looks divine, but like Laura I will have to wait until after Lent.

I'm hoping to put 4 in a baggie to go to school with my daughter and have her hide the package LOL<br /><br />This time of year my husband works from early morning until 11:00 at night. Brownies keep well and I can send a baked batch with him. That little boost of sugar does the trick for him. Plus, we like keeping a few back just for us girls. <br /><br />Sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766692049927299389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475550872815305644.post-65971063363590052242017-03-03T09:35:55.054-08:002017-03-03T09:35:55.054-08:00I think you did great!

That isn't good for anyone! :)<br /><br />I used to make brownies all the time, but I must have burned out because it's really been years I think since I've made a batch. My parents brought some with them when they were visiting and now I have a taste for them again. They'll have to wait until after lent. <br /><br />And totally agree -- even though you bought food that you might not normally consume, it's better to buy ahead at reasonable prices than pay for the gas station mark up on travel foods.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128676927462151254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475550872815305644.post-27238085237462282512017-03-03T09:07:39.049-08:002017-03-03T09:07:39.049-08:00Meat is expensive.

I was kind of surprised to find that much marked down. <br />Snack type items bought in bulk are definitely more cost effective than convenience stores on the road. I cringe when I see a soda that costs what I can pay for a couple of two liters.Sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766692049927299389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475550872815305644.post-38087704939132258042017-03-03T06:33:08.536-08:002017-03-03T06:33:08.536-08:00Looks like a good shopping trip, great to find bar...Looks like a good shopping trip, great to find bargains on meats, the most expensive part of my budget. Agree, it's best to buy foods ahead for road trips, DD's school. Much cheaper than vending machines, cafeterias, restaurants/take out.CTMOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825780992878036362noreply@blogger.com
