Shopping in America!

I just returned home yesterday after a five-day visit in the States.

I was fascinated with the food options you can get across the border. Not only is the selection wider, the prices are cheaper. On our first night we ate at diner. I got the following: soup, salad, drink, a huge entree and dessert. Grand total: $13.99. A couple of weeks ago I ate at Kelsey's. I ordered an appetizer, drink and a dessert. Grand total: $23.

Craziness!

The yogurt selection is better in the States than in Canada. And it's cheaper, too. I bought four huge cups of Chobani Greek yogurt for $1 each. I can't find this brand of yogurt in Canada. And if I didn't, I doubt it would be $1 per cup.

Then I found some slightly disturbing things, including sausages on a stick. Not only can you eat your sausage on a stick, it is surrounded by pancake batter. Artificial blueberry pancake batter. Not all that appetizing, if you ask me. But what do I know? It may be tasty. I would have picked up a box to take home, but I didn't have a freezer to store it in for five days.

However, I really wish I could find yogurt and M&Ms together. Where have you been all my life?
