Went to Vons for dishwashing soap and came out $21 later. Oh well. We needed eggs and I wanted to get some chocolate chips and flour for baking, and I found a couple of really good deals in their tiny clearance area. Turns out I had flour at home - forgot about that. I think I'll freeze one of the bags. I'm pretty siure you can freeze flour safely. This time of year I do more baking anyway, so it'll be used up before too long. I was going to buy Starbucks coffee, but it's cheaper by the pound if I go to an actual Starbucks to get it, so that's what I'll do. I got a free cup of coffee once as well when I bought a pound of beans, so I'll ask about that next time I'm in.
