A Pair of Pears

Happy Tuesday! Let’s talk about pairs. And pears.

In an effort to pinch my pennies, I am making a conscious effort to reduce the amount of money I spend on food, and make some different choices to save some mulah. I’ve been watering my money tree, but nothin’. Enter Plan B.

Last night, as I reached for my very favorite organic honeycrisp apples, I saw a huge display of pears out of the corner of my eye for just $0.88 per pound. Geez, they may as well give ‘em away! I put down my $3.49 per pound (gasp!) apples (which by the way are my very favorite food on the whole entire planet…yes, really!) and I picked a pair of pears (okay, more than two, but it’s just fun to throw pear and pair in a lot…) to enjoy over the week. I forgot how much I liked them until after today’s little taste test.

This little pair is a match made in heaven…

As I perused the store for other steal deals (like $1.00 for a huge bag of broccoli!! Umm…did I just get excited about a broccoli sale?), I couldn’t resist this pair…espresso and chocolate. Together. All in one. Mmmm….

Okay, organic espresso dark chocolate isn’t exactly budget friendly. But I like to live on the edge… Wink

Other pairs that sound really great right about now:

1. Yoga + Some good tunes. Like this one:

2. My room + Air Conditioning. If only Fall in Florida meant cool temperatures. This would so not be an issue! Gotta love 90* in October!

3. Me + shower. (please see number 2)

Well folks, I’m off. Do you have any favorite pairs? A match made in heaven perhaps? I think I used to like ketchup and potato chips when I was little. And by like I mean love. Yes, I did just admit that. Now it’s your turn! Open-mouthed
