Junk Food

Random thought:

Why is it that I'll pay $4.00 for 2 bags of potato chips for a special treat (they were on sale!) but I won't pay $1.87 for a pack of strawberries (on sale, but not the best price I'll see)?

Stinkin' Thinkin' as my flylady would say!

Update on April 19, 2010:
Sometimes it's nice to see that I have made progress in my healthy frugal journey. I'm happy to say that I don't use the grocery money to buy potato chips anymore. We still eat them, but it comes out of the entertainment money (I usually buy them when we have company every 3-4 months or if it's the Super Bowl!)

I'm still working on buying fruits and vegetables that are not at their lowest price. I should buy asparagus more often than I do. It's one vegetable that my husband absolutely loves and it's only in season for a short period of time. I need to remember/realize that sometimes it's okay not to buy something on sale.
