What to Buy/What to Skip

BUY: I bought Sutton these shoes from Target--The See Kai Run Basics line from Target is superior to the regular SKR website. Half the price, better quality in my opinion. 



SKIP: I wanted to get her these Adidas but $45+ seems like a lot for 4 year old shoes? She doesn't need Adidas. She just needs quality shoes. 




(These were $60 on Amazon but I really love them.)


SKIP: I splurged on this two years ago, used it less than 5 times, and hated it. It makes your hair greasy. Do not recommend. 

(bad pic but I already threw it away)

BUY: I've been using this since 2007 to control flyaways in the front. Cannot recommend enough. 1/3 the price of the B&B invisible oil too. 


SKIP: Aldi creamer is terrible. It's why I still have to shop at Walmart even though Aldi is cheaper, overall. 


BUY: V8 Energy Drinks are really tasty, if you're into that kind of thing. I don't do energy drinks very often. 


SKIP: Bloom tastes like a chemical cocktail by comparison. (We bought these for a trip.)


SKIP: Bubbl'r is the worst of all. I'll never understand how anyone can drink them. They taste terrible. (This was free at Target one day.)


My villain origin story on hating Bubbl'r: They sold them in the school cafeteria during elementary lunch (2 years ago). I tried to explain that they have caffeine --it says equivalent to a cup of coffee on the can-- and no one would listen to me because the upcharge on these made the school money. My 8-9 year old students would be sipping Bubbl'r on their way out ot recess and then they were unmanageable and falling asleep by 2pm. Again, no one cared. 

BUY: I have this issue where I buy bulbs of garlic and forget I have it or don't use it all in time and it goes bad and then there's garlic paper all over the cupboard. I saw this for less than $2 in the store last week and thought it was a fantastic compromise. Totally worth it. I just keep it in the fridge. 


SKIP: Don't buy these chicken nuggets. The texture is the most unsettling experience. If you want this brand, buy the regular nuggets and if you want dino nuggets, buy any other brand. Gag.
