Low Fat Triscuits

Triscuits are great with salad. I like to eat them with the seven layer salads that were available at County Market until about a week ago when those salads disappeared. They either decided not to make them anymore or someone hoards them all as soon as they put them out. But I digress.

I bought a box of low fat Triscuits the other day that appeared to have been involved in an accident. Nearly every cracker was broken. Not enough protein bonding to keep them in one piece. It's kind of annoying.

I'm sure you're wondering why I'm going to the trouble to write about a cracker, well, I'm a little tired and crabby, and little things kind of get to me, especially since I'm starting a job working at nights, and I can't sleep because of the dog and everyone else trampling around the house when I should be asleep in my bed. I supposed I could sleep on the way home from work, in my car, upside-down in a ditch. Maybe that's what they want.

Schnucks Salad Bar

The Schnucks Salad bar has gotten a little more expensive in 2010. Back in December of 2009, Using the large container identified as "LG HNGE TRA YCODE 347" was priced at $5.49 per pound. March of 2010, the price went up to $5.99 per pound. Fifty cents.
The benefit of the salad bar is that you can gather a combination of ingredients that would normally be very expensive. If you were to select enough ingredients from the salad bar to fill the code 347 container, then go around the store and look at the prices you would need to pay for the whole jar of pickles, the half dozen eggs, the bag of shredded cheese, the package of shredded carrots, etc., would you be saving or losing money?
This would take some time to research, which I no longer have because I have a part-time job doing something else. I would like to look into it, but I'm not getting paid, so good luck.
