Last month, I went to the import grocery store and had the best shopping day ever! I've learned to walk up and down each aisle each time I go because you never know what you might find and I wasn't disappointed this day. The cracker and cookie aisle is always a disappointment because they only have Chinese and Japanese kinds, which typically have odd flavors like seaweed. But somehow they got some good things: Triscuits, saltines, Nilla wafers, and graham crackers! My heart started racing it was so exciting. I called Jared immediately to tell him even though I don't know why I did that because he couldn't care less but I did. Then, I put 3 boxes of each them in my cart! I didn't know if I would ever see these boxes of heaven again so I made sure we would enjoy them while we could! The good news is that here we are, a month later and the store still has some of these things but word has spread amongst the American moms and everyone got a stockpile. Not sure if they will continue to get them but I hope so!
A few days after that shopping trip, I went to Sam's and found my laundry detergent that I used in the US...another amazing day! The best part is that it only cost about $10 more than it should. I bought 3 bottles and then a few days later I bought 2 more. I know our driver thought I had lost my mind and that I must have forgotten that I had just bought laundry detergent! My sensitive skin only likes certain detergent and I can buy this here in very small bottles but they are double the cost of what I spent on one of these huge ones. Plus, our ayi (housekeeper) does laundry each day. That equals way more detergent than I ever used in the US and therefore, my excitement over giant bottles!
