So I went grocery shopping for the apocalypse (that’s what it felt like) at Krogers last week while my parents were still here. Fresh produce is pretty expensive over here too (not as bad as NJ, but still), so I decided not to get any of that until after my parents leave. Instead, we came across these rather convenient 12 oz. bags of frozen veggies of all kinds of different blends (e.g. the “asian vegetable mix” has green beans, mushrooms, onions and broccoli). They were $1 each, so I stocked up on them. :X
