Finest Groceries Ever

i was looking for a way to cure my mid-week blues when i came across the newly-revamped NTUC at Thomson Plaza. It was called Fairprice Finest. and boy, was it fine! the improved layout and design of the mart was... intoxicatedly... shiny.

as i trekked along the aisles my little heart began beating faster with joy. this place kinda reminded me of A&P or Loblaws in Canada, where you can buy all the "ang-mo ang-mo" stuff. organic pasta, pocket pitas, you name it. they also had... absolutely everything else.

while deciding on whether to cap my grocery spending at $50, i couldn't help but wonder if i could actually live in this supermarket. i would be really happy. :) and so i began my exhilarating expedition at Finest, and these are what i got for my family, after much deliberation:

peanut butter and grape jelly, cos Skippy is the one.

Rum 'n' raisin dark chocolate, cos it's chocolate. and dark. and rum n raisin.

Willow mushrooms, cos i'm sick of the usual buttons and needles we always have at home.

Baked beans, cos they're healthiness in a can, and vegetarian too.

Instant noodles, for when we're tired of healthy, yummy home-cooked food.

Bak Kut Teh "cheater's mix", for when i feel like cooking vegetarian bak kut teh for my family.



Pickled baby cucumbers, cos they're good eaten in sandwiches and alone.



White peaches, cos they're in season and a break from the usual apples and oranges. :)

and of course, a decent bottle of shiraz, cos sometimes you just need some red wine in your diet. :)

$50.89 later, i'm a much happier lady. it's amazing how grocery shopping keeps a woman happy.

god i have to quit spending.
