Butter Chicken
Trader Joe’s
Don’t let the name lead you in the wrong direction. This is anything but sweet and buttery. This is the Indian version of buttery. It’s one frozen entrée where the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Cherry Brandy Liqueur Cake ALDI
This is another (new?) variation on a theme. One more amazing value ($2.49) in a dessert you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.

It’s not homemade, but it ain’t bad either. And unfortunately, it’s better than some we’ve had in restaurants.

As of last Thursday Google has reduced the price of its Nik Collection of photo editing software to FREE! At a previous price of somewhere between $150 and $200, the current price of $0 (zero) is a bargain. So if you’ve ever wanted to use this software, now is the time to do it.

TJ Sweet
Potato Chips
March 26, 2016
They’re actually sweet. Well they’re just a little sweet. They have a really funny mouth feel. They’re not at all like regular potato chips. While the first crunch is similar, the subsequent bites have a smoothness to them. It’s strange. The other thing that separates these from normal potato chips is the absence of a salty taste in the mouth. The label bears this out listing only 50mg of sodium per one ounce serving.

TJ Sweet Potato Chips – nutrition
The really bad thing about these chips is, I like them. I could eat the whole 7 ounce bag now. The problem with that is, at 160 calories per ounce and 7 ounces in the bag, that’s 1120 calories per bag or around 140 minutes (2 hours and 20 minutes) of hard peddling on my exercise bike. Can anyone recommend a good 2 hour and 20 minute movie on Netflix?
Price $1.99 (7 ounce bag)
Calories 160 per ounce (28g)
