Falling in Love with Peaches and Apricots

All my life, I have avoided "fuzzy" fruit. You know, peaches and apricots. I just didn't have a taste for fuzzy skin. But now, in my abundant maturity:-), I have found that I absolutely LOVE apricots and white peaches!! The apricots have to be a little firm still, but they are so nice and sweet/tart and help with the digestive system, too (if you know what I mean). And then I bought some white peaches from Sprouts this week and they are perfectly delightful! When you cut them, the slices just fall away from the stone and they are firm, yet ripe, and taste sweet, but different from yellow peaches. If you, like me, have avoided the "fuzzy" fruit, you have to try them again. You may find, like me, that they are wonderfully delicious!

Just thought I'd share:-)

Great Deals on Cereal This Week!!

There are some great deals this week on cereal, so take this chance to stock up - cereal has a pretty long expiration date.

At Basha's, you can get Kellogg's cereals for $1.50 each with their in-ad coupon ($6.00 off) and their 4 for $12 sale.

And at Safeway, they have a deal on General Mills cereals for $2.00 each, use some $0.75 off coupons found here, here, or here and you SHOULD get a $4.50 catalina for milk if you buy 3. Also, you can sign up for Cellfire and Shortcuts.com to get even more coupons loaded right onto your Safeway card. You could end up with really cheap cereal and free milk, too!

I already bought the Kellogg's at Bashas and will be trying out the deal at Safeway today, so I will let you know how it goes.
