Green Easter Grass

It’s time to put together the Easter baskets. Time to buy a million dollars worth of goodies, grass and eggs.

I went to Target to pick up Easter candy and found that they were completely sold out! SOLD OUT! There was no more Easter grass, no more candy, only pitiful pieces of broken bunny chalk and a few bags of marshmallows. I couldn’t believe it! So off to Vons I went. There wasn’t much of a selection there, but enough that I could feel like I was making progress. But, no Easter grass! What’s with the run on Easter items this year? So, I looked at Big Lots. Same deal-a few pitiful choices of odds and ends but no grass. My final try was late last night, when I had to pick Mariah up from work. There’s a 24hr RiteAid near her work. I picked up a couple bags of candy and reached for the bags of grass they had available. But one bag caught my eye. It was multi-colored and looked like shredded strips of paper. I decided to save my money (call me crazy, but I thought that $2 a bag seemed silly for something I’m going to through away and curse while I’m cleaning up from every nook and cranny of the house) and envisioned the full shredder I have next to my desk. Why buy shredded paper that’s going to be thrown away when I already have plenty of it?! I realize it’s not pretty springtime colors, but there are a few shreds of orange in there. Plus, all the goodies will be on top and you’ll hardly see it anyway.

I’ll take pics of the finished baskets and you can judge for yourself. I think it’s the greenest idea for Easter that this M.O.M. can come up with.

Happy Easter to all those celebrating!

Have a great day~
