One of the other nice things about taking lunch to work is that I can eat at my desk while I work, and use the free time in the middle of the day for other things. Like, for instance, going to the grocery store to replenish my snack supply.
$22 later, I'm back at the office. See if you can spot the impulse purchase:
bag of granny smith apples
apple slicer/corer (I have a really badass one from pampered chef, but it stays at home. Needed one at work)
small jar of peanut butter (for apple dipping)
3 microwaveable soups
Reese's inside-out peanut butter cups
3 pria bars
fat-free pudding cups
Keebler pretzel and cheese snacks
Cheese Nips 100-calorie packs
If you guessed the Reese's, you're right! But, in my defense, the peanut butter is on the outside, people. I've only ever had the ones where the peanut butter was on the inside. Would it taste the same, I wondered? Curiosity overcame my better judgement. It could happen to anyone. :)
And, while I know that the other snacks aren't exactly stellar nutritional choices (except the apples), they're all 2 points or less except the peanut butter and the soups. I bought the soups as a meal for those days when I eat my sack lunch at 10:30 or something, and need something more substantial to tide me over till dinner.
I'm also happy to say that I only ate one peanut butter cup. And yes, it does taste basically the same, but has a slightly more peanut-butter-baking-chips taste to it. I prefer the original.
