Grocery Shops in Review
Hey, hey … have you missed these posts?? I haven’t really been buying
much of anything outside the baby shower festivities requirements so I just
left it alone…
BUT now we are in Indiana and well, why not?
We arrived on Monday and after finding out the DMV is closed on Mondays
(??!!) we figured we’d swing by Aldi first and pick up some veggies and such.
Held off on meat and other things til we get a meal plan together and check out
the pantry and freezers. Should have
went with my gut instincts as there’s not a whole lot of ANYTHING to review in the pantry and freezer at the house!
Oh no, welcome to the dark days of the Midwest

Starting
with a fairly empty kitchen really makes for an expensive week at the grocery
store! Next week should be better as we
head out on the 7th so we will be working on meal prep for the
freezer and cleaning up any leftovers since I’m not sure how long we will be
gone for this time!
How did your
grocery shopping budget go this week?
