Bringing Home the Bacon

Grocery shopping has been fun over the past year, year and half.  I shop a lot with the boys in mind.  I am always looking for ways to save money but cook food that the boys like.  I struggle with healthy and good.  I also notice that the healthy food is more expensive. I buy meat on sale and cook dishes according to the meat I get.  I also have a few staples that are easy to cook and quick and that's important when running the boys around.

Since basketball season started (and then track) I haven't gotten in a routine about buying groceries.  I got lucky because I didn't have practice or a meet this week on Wednesday.  Do I went and loaded up the cart.
This is half way through the checkout process.

I got it home.
and it filled up the counter.

One of the things that I have been stressing to the boys is that everything has a place.  So before they got to the house I wanted to make sure that I got all the stuff put up.



Everything--cabinets, shelves, pantry, freezer and fridge are full.

Eggs were 30 cents a dozen.


I always forget something, but they built a Walmart Market right across the street from work.  This has been nice when I need to get something on the way home.  But when work is done--I am ready to get home, so I don't shop there much.
