| - When you're faced with unexpected life changing situations, you make decisions to scale back and configure wise solutions to survive a new lifestyle. You want things that will still benefit you and retain a certain sustainability. For example, in other words, your choice to eat out everyday or every weekend flips a switch; you need to start cooking more at home.
This 99 cent only store location can be quite helpful in your survival tactics. They carry produce, family size juice bottles, a simple Italian menu of ingredients, pet supplies, household goods, even cool toys for an affordable Christmas shopping spree. My faves are happy finds such as San Pellegrino canned seltzer water, instant coffee mix, coffee creamers, eat right now chocolates, and being a joanna banana fan.
Banana veggie smoothies anyone? Serving 5! Grab a bunch of bananas, get a baby spinach baggy, a box of blueberries, and a bottle of apple cranberry juice. Ice is at the front by the way. Sure why not throw in a brick of chocolate. And take care of the rest at home!
Got guests? Feed them Italian food. Garlic bread loaves - ready made to bake found here. You'll need some spaghetti, pre-peeled garlic cloves, baby portabella mushrooms, that rare shipment of their Classico Riserva pasta sauce (eggplant & artichoke), and melty mozzarella cheese.
Anyone down for brunch? Just add water pancake mix for those on a time constraint :P If you're lucky you'll find their imported nutella jars. They have Swiss Miss hot chocolate with marshmallows mmmmmmmmm. And there you have something handy to eat on short notice.
I recommend this place... Single parent households, recently unemployed, senior citizen budget, college kid income... Yep you can make it; you'll be fine.
