Too Cute To Resist!

yesterday I bought something at the store
solely because it was cute

we weren't at the mall
we weren't even at one of the big box stores
we were at the grocery store

it wasn't one of those irresistible
end-of-the-row displays

it was right in the middle of the row

of pasta...


but look how little and cute it is!

wasn't even sure if it was rice or pasta
(it's pasta)
but it was just so little and cute
and on sale of course

could you resist?

even with my weakness between coupons
and sales I spent $50.48 and saved $86.36
so it's okay!

  8. I love orzo! It is part of rice pilaf that I used to eat from the old Costco as a kid! So yummy. I love making it with chicken and balsamic dressing or creamy Cesar dressing.
