Pringles Argh!

We had a great vacation and managed to eat within most of our budget. We did run into a snag when we arrived at the Beach. It was about 1 pm and we decided to head on and not stop for lunch since we were so close to the final destination. I thought that there was a restaurant on the island and we could grab lunch there. Well, I was wrong, no restaurant, we had to go back over the one lane bridge. The traffic was heavy and with a hungry toddler we needed to act fast.

We decided to stop at the Market on the island to grab something for lunch. This is the only market or place to buy food on the entire island (with the exception of the ice cream store). I should have known what we were in for! We got three sandwiches and a couple other things as well as a can of $3.50 can of Pringles !! Our quick trip to the Market set us back $42! Convenience costs! In comparison we went to the grocery store the next day and shopped off of my list and got groceries for $75!

  1. A wise mother would have just had icecream sandwiches for lunch and called it good! Glad you had a good time. We would go to Sunset every year if we could!
