Best Deal EVER...

Well folks...it's likely that I have just come across one of the very best deals that ever was. Better than surprise sales at the GAP...better than shoe sales and dare I say it...better than the big summer sale at IKEA. We were doing our weekly grocery shopping yesterday afternoon at Loblaws when low and behold...we found a sale on the best ice cream ever made.

I feel fairly comfortable calling myself an ice cream expert...I've worked with ice cream...I eat ice cream...and frankly, I just down right love ice cream and in my professional opinion, Haagen-Dazs beats all other ice creams.

On any given day, this guilty pleasure would cost you about $6.79 for a container of 500ml (and about 250 calories a spoonful!) or $11.00 a scoop in the U.S. but, not on this day! On this special day, God bestowed on us the gift of $2.99 a container OR (that's right...it does get even better!) a box of three ice cream bars.

Now tell me, how can anyone walk through this life not completely full of joy when unexpected surprises like this come along?? Of course, such sales is also cause for caution as yumminess of this nature is also like playing with fire (especially for women!). Really, let's be honest, once it's in the house, all sense of self-control goes right out the window! In light of this, we managed to contain ourselves somewhat and settled for a container of Vanilla Swiss Almond and a box of the Milk Chocolate Vanilla bars (let me just say that choosing a flavour was a challenge enough for a Sunday afternoon!).

So, for those of you who can't make it down to the Rideau Street Loblaws and enjoy gluttony at a reasonable price...just go the Haagen-Daaz site and browse through their flavour selector...it's a very passionate love affair just waiting to happen!
