Nothing too exciting to report this week, unless you’re into TJ’s Frosted Flakes. 2Chili is thrilled because they have been out of Frosted Flakes for weeks at Trader Joe’s. We thought they had been discontinued, but alas, this week, they were available again. While not the best nutritionally, they are generally better than Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, and make him happy, so I obliged.
You’ll notice he also has a mini chocolate bar dependency. Speaking of mini, on a little mini vacation right now, so I used this week to stock up on a few things to set us up for next week.

love that you’re planning ahead and spacing out the spending!
good luck with the eating out.
Do you do anything with the dates or just eat them? I’ve never really eaten them much except in things…
Yep, I make them into DIY Lara Bars, which are way better than Lara Bars (really!)

I saw that you left a comment on the WordPress.com page about being guided over for self-hosting. I’m currently helping people to make the switch to self-hosting from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, and I’d be happy to help you out. Right now I’m running a special where if you buy hosting through one of my affiliate links (this pays me a small commission), I’ll do the transfer for free. Let me know if you’re interested or if you’d like more information. You can feel free to use the e-mail address included in this comment. Also feel free to check out my site to found out more about my blogging.
Good luck with everything!
Joseph
