 This week’s steal is spinach. Plain and simple.

A five-dollar bag of spinach cost me 90 cents last night thanks to a 2-for-$4 sale, a $1 off sticker and a 10% off my entire purchase.

Plus the spinach wasn’t even rotten or close to being rotten! The expiry date isn’t until the end of next week and there was not a slimy leaf to be seen in the entire bag.

I made spinach salad for dinner just to celebrate (note that I do realise this spinach salad leaves much to be desired, more than one cherry tomato for example; but one was all I had. No feta cheese, no strawberries, no pine nuts, nothing but spinach and broccoli and one cherry tomato):

Then I made a spinach smoothie for breakfast just because I could. (Actually I didn’t because I slept too late this morning. But I dreamt about making one and my dreams are very vivid.) If I had made one it would’ve looked like this:Sweet straw and all. Image from here.

And want to know what else I stole this week that was also green and edible? Snow peas. Off my own snow pea plants. Which I planted from seeds. In June:

The day I picked them was the happiest of my life.

Let’s hear it for cheap produce.
