Cage Free Eggs

Today, for the first time since I moved down to Corvallis, my weekly grocery binge totaled less than $50. I guess skipping the wine aisle does help! Who knew?

I was a bit surprised, because I bought more natural (read... "more expensive") foods than usual, including:

• One gallon of organic whole milk ($5.48... ouch)
  
• Half-gallon of Nancy's yogurt ($3.42... not too bad actually. It was only 12 cents more expensive than buying two half-gallon containers of the kind without bacteria.)
  
• Four pounds of Smucker's jam ($5.98... causing me to really appreciate the cost-effectiveness of home-made jam)
  
• Cage free eggs (as opposed to cage free hens... there's a loop hole here somewhere, I know it...)

We'll see if this trend continues. The moment I start flirting with the Odwalla cooler, it's all over.

NOTE: The wine aisle wise-crack was just that, a wise-crack. I choose not to blog in an inebriated state, even though the comedic value of my posts would probably shoot through the roof. Fear not, I'm not the indulging type.
