Yesterday while I was waiting for the pharmacist to fill my prescriptions from the Endocrinologist appointment, I meandered the grocery store aisles.
The endcaps are my favorite because they are usually filled with the most tempting food on the planet.
Chocolate carbs? Yes PUH-LEASE!!
Since I had time to kill I decided to read the nutritional information. After all, a competitor needs to be well informed about the food options out there.
Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t HORRIBLE.
Now don’t get me wrong, the second ingredient is sugar, but the macros could be WAY worse.
I hemmed….
I hawed…
Then I remembered my commitment to not having food in my house that screams my name. Having a big box of interesting, chocolaty carbs would not do me any favors.
The problem with endcaps are that they hold seemingly innocent and benign food, but before I know it I have talked myself into buying them and snack on them when I shouldn’t, just have ‘one…er twelve more‘, or create recipes with them to be a good steward of the money I spent on the food rather than let it go bad.
I have been known to have Titanic-esque experiences with these foods…thank God for life boats, aka dumpsters!
Who’s tried Chocolate Cheerios? Are they worth the self control required to keep them in the house?

her Thursdays post is about these cheerios…and I have bad news…apparently they’re good…..
Oh that IS bad news…. lol! Well, we may just have to give in and try them; purely for scientific purposes. 😀
I had a coupon for a box of these babies for free. But it was only good for one day. Sorry I’m no help!
A one day coupon? Hilarious!
