Hooked

Okay, I know this is old news to the rest of you, but today I made my first visit to Cash & Carry.  Wow!  I am hooked.  I'm not sure that everything at Cash & Carry is a better deal than Costco, but I bought cheese, lunch meat, and veggies galore.  It's Saturday, and I was so happy to find almost the same products that I could have found at Costco at comparable prices without the out-of-control Costco crowds.  Plus, I love their bulk ice cream, which I didn't buy today because I am still on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, and that is the no-carbs-at-all-phase.  I know from a young women's activity that the hot fudge in the #10 can at Cash & Carry is absolutely divine.  I brought home some of the left-overs.  My husband, I serious chocolate critic, loved that hot fudge. 

Today I splurged on sugar free Italian soda ingredients, which I can have on my diet.  I am currently sipping my second sugar-free soda as I type.  The whole reason I went to Cash & Carry in the first place is because Costco stopped selling unsweetened cocoa, and my mother-in-law happened to pick up some of the Hershey brand at C&C.  Nathan informed me that the Hershey brand was much better.  I found it, and I also found a screaming deal on marshmallows for making future fondant cakes.  I think I was most intruiged by all the restaurant stuff.  I'm a sucker for decorative platters, cool glassware and such.  I managed to get out of there without buying any, but there's always next time....
