Shopping List

In an effort to reign in my spending on groceries, I'm going to try (to remember) to post my (hopefully) weekly shopping trips.  I'm also going to try to note anything that expires/gets thrown away.  If I see it on a list, maybe I'll learn how to shop better!

My biggest problem is actually with produce.  I like to have different kinds of fruits and vegetables around. I eat a lot of salads and I like a lot of stuff in them!  I also try to eat a lot of fruit, and it gets old eating just apples 3+ times a day.  Unfortunately, sometimes I go way overboard and buy enough for a house of 5.  Which we are not.  We are a 1 person who eats fruit and vegetables household.

In this week's cart: (* means on sale)

2% milk for D (and Roger)
Skim milk for me
Chocolate Chip Cookies
*Frozen fruit summer salad
Green Giant Frozen Mixed Veggies
Shredded Marble Cheese
Romaine hearts
*Butternut Squash ----> I'm being brave.  And trying to eat one new vegetable each month.  I'm counting squash as a vegetable whether it is or not.
*Snap peas
Bananas
Roasted Garlic Hummus
*Radishes
*Green Onions
*Jazz Apples
*Tomatoes
Whole Wheat Pitas
Salad Bar Vegetables X 2

This is a funny week because I pretty much just needed produce.  I'm using last week's meal plan and bought all the stuff last week!  I'm not sure I planned ahead for lunches (I always forget this part!) so there will likely be salads with peanut butter pitas!

Supper time!  My stomach is trying to eat itself!
