I have a horrible sweet tooth and I’m broke. When I’m bling blingin’, I enjoy fancy sweet things like tres leches and cronuts and Ben & Jerry’s and pot brownies. Since I ain’t been bout that scrilla in a minute, I luckily stumbled into the Dollar Star on Washington Ave. A sign strategically placed throughout the store says “Florida has ruled that is is legal to sell food that is slightly out of date.” Yes, please!
My purchases:
2 boxes of Little Debbie Cakes, buy 1 get one free, $1.09 (they ain’t stale or nothin’)
2 4-packs of Sunkist 10 (they only have the 10 calories) .49 cents each
1 potato hot dog bun 8-pack (will make my fried bologna (baloney?) sandwiches with, $1
1 Starkist fruit punch candle (cause I love for my pied-a-terre to smell all fruity, like me) .25 cents

Tampa’s Trader Joe’s has finally opened, and it’s busy as hell. You would have thought the baby Jesus himself was promoting the Curried Quinoa Salad with Mango or something on this Easter Sunday. Conceding that it should have been opened years ago and that I am certainly behind the times, I still love this place! I am such a foodie now…
“Trader Joe’s is no ordinary grocery chain. It’s an offbeat, fun discovery zone that elevates food shopping from a chore to a cultural experience. It stocks its shelves with a winning combination of low-cost, yuppie-friendly staples (cage-free eggs and organic blue agave sweetener) and exotic, affordable luxuries — Belgian butter waffle cookies or Thai lime-and-chili cashews — that you simply can’t find anyplace else.”
My grocery basket:
the Sea Salt Butterscotch Caramels $3.49
Edamame Crackers $2.69
Mandarin Orange Chicken $4.99
BBQ Pulled Chicken $5.99
Homecut Fries $1.99
Petite Cocoa Wafers $1.99
Sesame Sticks $2.29
Carrot Cake Cookies $3.99
Dried Mandarin Slices $1.99
Chicken Jerky Dog Treats
