You would be surprise the awesome deals you get out of the "throwaways". No wonder some people are freegans. Most items still look pretty darn good. Some do look a little questionable.
Anyways, I made a stop there last night and scored me last night's dessert and today's breakfast and lunch. I could have gotten dinner out of that too, but Brandon already got us dinner.
- Tres Leches Cake : I don't remember what regular price was : Paid $2.15. (Oh, and by the way, Heavenly!)
- Exotic fruit salad : Regular $4.29 : Paid $2.40. 56% discount.
- Chicken Cacciatore for 2 : Regular $4.79 : Paid $2.15. 45% discount.

That's the first place I go too. I find am willing to try out things on sale that maybe I wouldn't at full price.
Had the mixed green salad with chicken w herbs again tonight. LOL
Food Rut.
I am a Fresh and Easy, or as my 5 yr old calls it "the tick tock store (notice their logo!) FREAK!
Anyway, back on point, I am talking about them so much to my "mommy friends" that one of them asked the other day if F&E pays me to be word of mouth marketing. I laughed and told her to go check it out. I also told the coupons in the weekly mail and how to find the markdown items!
I was talking to one of my favorites employees at my local store and she mentioned your blog. I had to come find it and I am loving what you do here!
May I suggest if you like spicy which is sounds like you are apt to.. try the Chipotle Salmon Burgers. This is one of my weekly "MUST HAVE" items with a salad. A great tasting meal for 2. I have yet to eat it with a bun, just by itself. Check it out!
You are on target about their cheese. I often prepare meals for others and I am always being asked what kind of mozarella and parmasean did I use. The quality is so much higher!
I could go on and on but I will just enjoy watching your adverntures with one of my favorite places.
Oh and the self checkout.. love it! My 5 yr old loves to ring things up himself and this is a highlight of the trip for him. My future F&E employee in training.. at least while he goes to school! Wonder if they hire 5 yr olds? ;)

Hello there Patty! Thanks for stopping by!
I've been eyeing at that chipotle salmon burger for a while now, waiting for my hubby to go out of town so I can cook it for myself. Iodine is a migraine trigger for him plus he doesn't like strong tasting fish. :)
Oh try it.. but make sure they are the burgers. The patties are not so good. The salmon is not as "fishy" as you would think.
Thanks for having a great little place that highlights the little corner store!

Hi Patty!
I wish they made the chipolte salmon burger with something other than salmon since I am allergic! Oh well, Oakley will have to be the Temple's taste tester for that!
