If I did not get the right change, or bumped into an old beau on a bad hair day without makeup, these things would not really upset me.
The reason I came home upset was Ben and Jerry advertised two pints of ice cream for the price of one. Those pint containers looked so small it was unbelievable. I took one out of the freezer to study the stats and it read: 4 half cup servings; 270 calories each. If someone on a diet would purchase something like that they usually eat the whole thing in 5 minutes. One full container adds up to 1,080. The FREE second container costs the same calories.
One of the most sensible choices in the ice cream isle is to buy a single one-serving container of lite ice cream which is a half cup and low in fat for about 150 calories. Another really great choice would be a package of the 15 calorie sugar free fruit flavored bars. Treat yourself to 3 in one day if you wish.
Please, please, please, listen to Louise!
