Shopping 7-1-12


See, I do still shop...
This week was a total stock-up week + some of Big Daddys junk food...

I knew that my regular grocery list only had a few things on it this week, so I decided that while they were having the mega-event at Kroger I should use that extra money to stock up on a few things...

I think I have said it before but our budget for one week of groceries is $100. I usually only take a hundred dollar bill. When Big Daddy buys junk food/beer etc... he usually will hand me a $20 bill to add to it. It's VERY rare for me to spend more than $120!
