Felix and I are a juice family. If you look in our fridge, you'll find orange juice, passion-orange juice, cranberry-orange juice, and...well, you get the picture. Soda? Very rare. Beer? One or two, maybe. Milk? Definitely not. We like drinking juice.

The hard part is trying to remember exactly how much we actually have in the fridge. We usually go grocery shopping about once a week, mostly on weekends. After the dilemma of deciding where to go (Albertson's only 2 minutes away, but their juice selection is pathetically skimpy; Safeway, though, is a whole 15 minutes away), Felix and I make our usual rounds through the supermarket. Produce and fruit first. Meats next. And then the juice section. Of course, as the cost-conscious shoppers we are, we always look for the "Bonus Buy" or "Club Deal" or whatever's on the member's sale list. You know, it makes me seriously wonder what people would do if they shopped without their member cards - would you just let the store rip you off at twice the price? I think it's all an evil conspiracy to dupe the consumer...but that's a crazy thought to pursue on a different day.

Anyway, we were in luck this past weekend. It was buy-one-get-one-free day! Although we've occasionally gotten into trouble on this one by getting a little too excited (who really needs two supersize boxes of cereal when only one person in the house eats cereal?!), it's always a great deal to support our juice-guzzling habits. Felix and I paused, surveying the depleted selection (yup, we went to Albertson's) and trying to remember how many cartons we had at home. He hesitantly said he didn't think we had any left. I racked my brain and came up with maybe half a jug. So we bought four for the price of two, in a array of our favorite flavors. Yum!

Turns out we actually already had four cartons in the fridge at home. Oops. Over cries of "How did we end up with this much juice?!" from Felix, we crammed our latest purchases onto the shelves. Turned 'em sideways, stacked them up. Whatever we needed to do make them fit. Oh well - good thing we love juice.
