Did you happen to invite someone special over for dinner and completely blank on the fact that you have nothing to feed them coupled with you’re out of that sweet smelling body care that drives them particularly wild? Also your house is a mess and according to your dog doesn’t smell particularly great. It happens to the best of us and, you may not realize this, but you can buy everything you need in one place – the grocery store.
Of course you’re going to find the food you need at the grocery store but you can also find items to cook it in, serve it in and save it in. Everyone loves a good to-go bag! Beyond the Tupperware you need to pick up the items that make it look like you’ve got it all together and it’s got to happen fast. At the grocery store you can also grab:
Cleaning Supplies. I’m talking the quick ones. They make wipes for everything now – windows, dusting, mopping… grab em all to quickly get at the most noticable areas of mess. Grab an extra laundry basket while you’re at it to throw random items in. Plop that in the basement or in a closet. You can put it away later.
Flowers, Candles and that General Ambiance. Throwing a plate of food in front of someone and calling it a date doesn’t make the night memorable and isn’t even remotely acceptable. This is your home you’re inviting someone into. Buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers along with the vase to put them in to show them off at the entry or on the table. Grab a few candles as well to set off a wonderful scent and help to create an enticing scene.
Body Care. This is not just food related body care to whip you into shape internally. This is the external body care that’s going to make you smell good and also gives off such a powerful scent it’ll make your bathroom smell amazing also. For just a couple bucks you can pick up Zest® Fruitboost™ Revitalizing Shower Gels and Zest® Fruitboost™ Smoothie Body Scrubs to indulge in a spa-like shower experience.
Just one tube of the shower gel can last you up to 40 showers (by using a quarter sized amount) with revitalizing and moisturizing vitamin C. Five scents are available in Very Berry, Pomegranate Acai Berry, Strawberry Kiwi, Citrus Splash and Peach Mango.
The body scrub is gentle because it’s finely ground and the natural avocado oils and rich moisturizers will keep your skin feeling smooth and silky. Three scents are available in Very Berry, Peach Mango and Citrus Splash.
If you weren’t aware that your grocery store carried Zest® Fruitboost™ body care click here to find out where you can buy it. If you’re local to the Pittsburgh area Giant Eagle is a good place to look!
Makeup. Um. YES you need to buy makeup every single time you go to the grocery store. You don’t need to go full-scale new collection, but personally a new lipstick or nail polish always makes me feel a little bit more special. 😉
What surprising things do you find at your local grocery store? Is there anything you’d recommend to make a date night more special?

Love this! We threw a surprise party for my mom in April and bought our flowers for our centerpieces at the grocery store. It saved us a ton of money! And I’m all about grocery store body care. With coupons and in-store deals, I can save a ton on great products!

I try not to buy makeup from the grocery store because I really do not need another nail polish or lipstick, however, I usually end up with some new makeup goodies anyway 😛
