isn't she lucky?

I know.  

Lucky Charms is Cheerios with (hard) marshmallows.  And while I don't have a soft spot for Cheerios nor marshmallows, I could not truly explain why Lucky Charms is my favourite cereal.

Maybe it is the sudden burst of sweetness in my mouth when I chance by a rainbow or heart that reminds me of simple joys in life bore off the mundane.  Or maybe something less philosophical, I love it because junk food taste goooooood.

A box of Lucky Charms costs $10.95 where I live.  And while I am all about you should not scrimp on food, I feel that that amount is A LOT for a box of any cereal.

I often wonder how this one could command a premium.  I mean, it costs more than cereals from the organic / glutten free section.

I always thought that ONE DAY, they will go on sale.

Froot Loops, Frosties, Captain Crunch,  all cereals go on sale!  

Except Lucky Charms.  Never.  The price is firm.

AND I ALWAYS LOOK.

Rummaging through the cereal aisle today, of a grocery I frequent, I saw a box of Lucky Charms and instinctively looked at the price.

I mean, I knew how much it costs, but I still look.  Maybe.  

And guess what?

$8.80

Not on sale.  New price.

$8.80

Just my luck :)

What a day!

It is interesting how my Friday was filled with wonderful and horrible things. Big and small.

I'd like to pat myself on the back and say "Well done, you've learnt the art of finding the silver lining", but my over thinking self would quip "You got lucky a few times, admit it" soon enough.

Either way, I have no reason to complain.

I've been greedily looking at the Lucky Charms cereal boxes for a few weeks now whenever I go grocery shopping, the only thing that's stopping me is fear of consuming the entire box in one sitting.

As it happens with chips often enough, maybe I should trade salt and sodium with sugar next time.

Maybe it could land me a lucky streak.
