Grocery Cart Sundays

It's been a while since I've shared a Grocery Cart Sunday breakdown ... partly because I haven't been shopping that much and partly because I've been BUSY ... but since this last week was a spectacular (NOT) week, I figured, I had time so why not type it all up ...

Pictures? Uhm, sure there are a few here!

So. It all started on Sunday. EASTER Sunday, I might add.  I was home. Alone. And just felt like crap. Migraine headache (as in, toss my cookies when I got up out of bed first thing that morning and there was NO booze for 36 hours prior to this!) and weak and just ick.  I cancelled my plan to go over to some friends for dinner as Hubby was out of town, Princess was working and the Boy was with his girlfriend.

All I wanted was some food to have for that night and the week ahead. I just had a bad feeling, that's all ...

So off I went ...

Trader Joe's





They were open on Easter!

2 pkgs of frozen waffles (one GF and one blueberry) $1.99 each

Walmart




How could I resist?  It's not a new store, but they just did a major addition to the store and made it a SUPER WALMART ....

Ready?
