Lots and lots and lots of peaches!
It is hard to believe that we are over 1/3 done with the Farmer’s Market and nearly halfway through with our 20/20 challenge! Oh well, the good news is that there is still plenty of time to pick up yummy produce and to buy more great stuff in Andersonville (and with the Sidewalk Sale coming up next weekend, there will be lots of great stuff all over the place). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the staff recap from week 9.
JESSICA
$18 at the Wooden Spoon for a tomato knife – it’s serrated so it won’t bruise my tomatoes (courtesy of the Andersonville Farmers Market) when cutting. Bruschetta, here I come!
$21 at Mr & Mrs DIGZ for an awesome pair of wool trouser/shorts with a herringbone pattern. A classic piece for summer days in the office.
JASON
After a slow week the previous week (just $25 – very strange for me) I really picked up the slack in Week 9. I bought a t-shirt ($20) and hat ($14) at Hip Fit, had lunch at Kopi ($12), indulged in a full week of Dolce Iced Teas ($2.50 each) from The Coffee Studio, made one trip to Piatto Pronto and got lunch for the remaining 4 days for $11. And I took advantage of having the night off from the Farmer’s Market to stop in to Cattle Call for the phenomenal drag revue at 9:00 pm on Wednesday night and enjoyed a couple of vodka tonics ($4 each). I also really stocked up at the Farmer’s Market, so that was another good chunk of money I spent last week with delicious results!
SARA
On my walk home on Friday, I stopped at the new-ish Mr. & Mrs. DIGZ, a “unique boutique” on Andersonville’s north end between Hollywood and Edgewater. I am hesitant to admit that I’ve seen this movie, but I had a “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” moment with a pear of jeans! Totally didn’t look like they were going to fit…and then VOILA! Perfect fit. Only $28.00 and a fun start to the weekend.
Throughout the week, I also indulged in a junior cup of Espresso Oreo ice cream at George’s ($2.50- an affordable trick!); a hummus roll from Kopi ($6.50); and Hamburger Mary’s new brew, the Lightweight Ale ($4.25). Now Mary’s, an eco-Andersonville certified business, brews their own beer in the “Rec Room.” Check out the Dandy Shandy, Gangsta Ale, or Lightweight! It is delicious beer!

More Gummi Bears at Piatto Pronto (they are sooo good), but I also bought pasta, meatballs and sauce for dinner – $20
Anteprima for Dinner on Friday – Lady’s choice. Saturday back at Tapas las Ramblas.
Stopped in at the Jewel (reluctantly so, I avoid that place like the plague. Can’t they clean it up a bit?) spent a requisite $20 on staples.
Midweek had a meal at EnThaiCe. Not quite $20, but gave me enough leftovers for the next day’s lunch.
