Yo! Yo!

I'm such a great mom. Proudly, I admit it. I cannot be beat.
You only WISH you could be as great as me.

Today, there was a sale at our local grocerystore...
and my most favorite Sis-in-law came over with "BIG BAG"...lovingly named that for the fatness which contains coupons for EVERYTHING you ever could ever want....or not want....
and I got 2 cases of cans of soup for pennies on the dollar.
Hamburger Helper ... mere cents.
And Youghert Yoghurt Yogurt. CHEEEEEEEAAAP
(I actually had to look at my empty cup to see how that was spelled.)
Did you know that Yoplait sells divine lowfat yogurt? Low points for WW counters.
They have every flavor imaginable and they're all HEAVEN in a cup.

ANEEEWAYYYYY...
So, when I saw their Chocolate mousse... I nearly dived head-first into the 'fridgerated case...with the grabbing up of all that was mousse.

I EVEN DROPPED ONE in my recklessness.. *gasp*
When I arrived home, I put my entire lot of loot on the counter... and told the kids that if they put it all away they could all have a yogurt.

Cheers and huzzahs could be heard down the block as they all clammoured to the kitchen.
I left again and went to that HEAVEN IN BULK store...
After finding even more great buys, I headed home to load up the storage shelves in the basement....stepping back to admire my awesome handywork.
I glanced at the clock and realized I had to pick up girls from work... so I ran upstairs, grabbed the aforementioned Chocolate mousse yogurt to eat while waiting.
When I peeled off the foil wrapper...I think I drooled a little... and then promptly licked it, so as not to waste one precious drop.
Instantly...I winced...as it was not what I expected.
A little on the sicky-sweet side...a bit too frothy...not as much chocolate flavoring as I thought there'd be.
J hopped in the car so I handed her the cup, spoon enshrouded in the sticky goo...and she cheered with glee...
she took a big bite...
"Hm...tastes like it's mixed with raspberries or some kinda fruit."
:::pondering silence::: as she looks at the ingredients on the back....
And Lo and behold... there is Liquor in Yoplait's Chocolate Mousse.
::blink-blink::
I mentally calculate how many of those things I bought...

When I got home, I checked the fridge...

Yeah.

Only 2 left.

SUPERSTAR MOM.
Right here.

Dontcha wish your mamma was cool, like me??

YES!!!! You saved one for me! I will fly in tonight so we can sit outside and "eat our yogurt" *wink wink* as we relieve our stress. LOL

Only us Mormon mamma's could find something actually sinful about a cup of chocolate yogurt.

Guess I will have to go and check the fridge as it is full of yummy yogurt right now too.

This used to happen to us in Italy as missionaries all the time (you've really got to read the labels there, as I'm sure you already knew) I'm sure it would have happened with that particular yogurt had I known it was WW points-friendly. I just assumed anything that sounded that good was "off-limits" to me and I guess I was right after all. ;>)

LOL that is so something I would do. I'm pretty sure I've had the said yogurt...I had no idea! I'll be checking labels a little more carefully I guess.

Nice on the good sales tho. I'm jealous!
