In My Shopping Bag

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag".  (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)

Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag this week....
....and from the past few weeks.  Yup, haven't had a chance to do this post for a bit so BE PREPARED FOR BOOKISH GOODNESS AHEAD!  ^_^
