Week 6 of the 20/20 Challenge was marked by the opening of the first ever Andersonville Farmer’s Market, which as you have already read was both wonderful and a little CRAZY!  However your faithful staff still took some time to more than spend their 20 bucks in Andersonville, and not just at the market!  Our Week 6 round-up is after the jump.

I bought a t-shirt ($20), a tank top ($14) and what can only be described as a jaunty cap ($20, although in my mind it was priceless because I almost never look good in hats) at Hip Fit.  The tank was great for a beautiful and Sunday Pride Parade party, and the hat has been good for wearing to the beach.  I also used the warm and sunny weather to indulge in a few Dolce Iced Teas ($2.50 for a large) at The Coffee Studio.  And a Garden di Tuscany sandwich ($4.95 for a 6 inch) from Piatto Pronto made for a great vegetarian dinner without needing to turn on the oven.

Well I HAD to get new shoes for the farmers market, didn’t I? Seriously,  I didn’t own a pair of sneakers. Now I am the proud owner of a pair of green canvas Keens from Alamo Shoes, which with the $10 off sale, I think ran me about $50. I took it easy at the farmers market in terms of food purchases, because the farmers sold out so quickly, and I wanted to leave some for the other customers! (At this week’s market, the farmers brought tons more goods, and I bought a LOT. Details about that on next week’s post). Also had pizza lunch one day from Ranallis mmmmmm.

My money this week was all about food, food, food!

I spent $12.50 at Edgewater Produce after being away for the weekend. It was my holdover grocery trip until Wednesday’s Farmer’s Market.

I spent $20 at the Farmer’s Market on eggs, chives, scallions, spinach, blueberries, Brunkow cheese, and a baguette! (OK, maybe more than $20…)

And then I spent $9.00 at FOURSIDED on silk-screened red, funky letters that spell M-A-N-G-I-A! “Eat!” in Italian. The letters are going to be hung in my kitchen
