I fear I have developed a passion for obsession with apple juice boxes.  Yes, those little tetra packs the kids take to school for snack time.  I can’t stop buying them.  I currently have 88 in my basement.  Why?  Is there a global juice box shortage headed our way?  No.  I’m not quite sure why.  Come to think of it, I went through the same thing with toothpaste a few years ago.

Right now juice boxes are on sale all over the place – and for a really good price.  Presumably in preparation for back-to-school.  Like 24 for just under $4.00.  Do the math people – that’s about $0.17 cents each!  Usually I pay about $0.50 cents each.  So that’s 66% less!  And I LOVE a good deal.

But every time I see another ad for them I think “oh – good!  I should get some more” and out to the store I go.  Like today.  When I plan to stop in and get another case or so . . . even though I have 88 in the basement!!!

But according to my math those 88 will only last 2 boys that take them to school 5 days a week a total of 8.8 weeks.  And that only gets us to about early November.  And I’d feel much better knowing we’re stocked with cheap juice boxes through to the Spring.  So to the store I go.  For juice boxes.  Again.
