POPTARTS! Oh, the dollar must really be weak. :(

It's fun to walk into the local grocery store and find American goodies you don't normally find. Such has been the case since we got back home in January. Wow! Macaroni and Cheese! Pop Tarts! Hershey's Chocolate Syrup! Fruity Pebbles!

I'm glad my kids don't like going to the grocery. Melody almost fainted when she read the prices:

Macaroni and Cheese, U$2.50 a box
Pop Tarts, U$6.00 for a package of 2
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, U$8.00 a bottle
Fruity Pebbles, U$10.00 a box

When the dollar goes weak, the stores buy these items. Prices are high even by Brasilian standards. Still, fun to see the oddities like Pop Tarts "pop" up on the shelves. Fun to see but they'll not find their way into our buggy. And we'll be sure to keep the kids clear from the grocery for some time now!
