gazpacho soup
I got birthday money this year. Most of it is going to savings, some of it I kept out for gas and to stock up on good shampoo (the dollar store brands are not cutting it for my hair), but I kept a little out just for general fun money.
I found two pieces at Goodwill for my Abby costume, a skirt (that is purely for the costume) and a black long sleeved-t (that I may wear on normal days too) for about $6 together. Since Big Lots was a short walk away, I stopped there too. I stocked up on babywipes and a few other items for my business (using business money), and found a few interesting food items.
The food isle at Big Lots is fun for me because of the random stuff that pops up there. They had Organic soy milk for $1.50 (which I didn't buy) and Organic Peppermint Chai Iced Tea Latte concentrate (you add milk) 32oz for $1.50...not super healthy, but not too bad for me either. And it tastes very yummy. They also had single servings of drinkable cold soup, called Cool Soup in two different flavors, one of which is "Vegetable Gazpacho" and the other "Carrot Bisque" for 50 cents each. As a Red Dwarf fan, I had to try the Gazpacho (which is new to me). I'm not completely won over, but if you're more of a soup fan than I, they're moderately healthy and a good candidate for lunch box stuffers.
