I'll Say It Again...I'm In Love

I know I've ranted about this before...but man oh man do I LOVE my Marketbasket grocery store.  T in greenville who pays $100 for an organic apple will probably shed a tear and my sister will want to ring my neck but I just HAVE to share!  This is not an opportunity for you to judge my grocery purchasing habits, but it's intended to make a true believer out of anyone doubting the Marketbasket Way!

Here's what I bought today (We're having people over to help clear land and feeding them a hearty, perhaps not so healthy, BBQ so I bought quite a few extra/processed/namebrand things that would not normally be on my list! I was a little worried I was going to blow the budget, but was pleasantly suprised!):

1pk english muffins
2 loaves bread (whole wheat, whole grain, no HFCS)
12 Hamburger buns
20 hot dog buns
12 deli bulky rolls

long grain wild rice
rice pilaf

3lb sweet potato
1 cucumber
1 bag carrots
1 onion
Sugar snap peas

4lbs apples
1 watermelon
1 cantaloup
1 1/2lbs red seedless grapes
2lbs bananas

Chicken (drumsticks)
1lb Organic ground beef
16 hotdogs
1lb honey roasted turkey breast (2.99/lb!!!)
1/2lb swiss cheese
1/2lb american cheese

Tell me that is not AMAZING!  I mean, I shop once a week and generally spend well under $100 each week if I'm doing our normal list.  I really don't know what I'd do if they ever went out of business!?  Or if I ever moved to a location where groceries weren't so cheap.  Our whole budget would be shot!  I'm couting my blessings for sure!
