This was a fun week at our house. We had a fun trip to visit family with the plans of helping take cows to market. Yep, you read that right. My husbands family owns cows, so we get to have the fun experience of feeling like cowboys and cowgirls every now and then. In the […]
It’s produce time again! We picked up our first box of produce from our local CSA Farm this week, and have already dug into the fresh strawberries and onions. For groceries this week I hit a wall. We needed food, but I honestly didn’t have the time or energy to get things together to hit […]
I told you last week that we needed to save up for this week, and I must say I’m glad we did! Sometimes there just isn’t any way to lower a price further and you just have to pay. My way of saving on those deals, is by saving up money for them. I refuse […]
This week we decided to finish the month with a grocery budget surplus and eat from the pantry. This was a tad bit of a challenge after losing most of our frozen stockpile a few weeks ago, but I was game for it. I actually think our kids love these weeks, because meals get a […]
This week was a Kroger week for us. It was also a small grocery heart break week. I came home from a home school conference Saturday night to find my stand alone freezer door open and everything inside thawed. It looked like it hadn’t been closed all the way, but was just enough that it […]
I had a big time this week, and made two trips. We went to Kroger and Publix on the same night, things started off rocky in Kroger… I seriously don’t like having to argue their coupon policy when it is taped to the register and she is obviously not following it. The cashier would not […]
This was an off week for me from shopping. I pondered the cereal sale at Publix, and stood in my pantry for a good 20 minutes pondering again whether I should go. But… we already have at least 15 boxes of cereal and I just can’t justify spending the money when I know that it […]
We hit Publix this week for a few things. There really wasn’t much that I needed or wanted on sale this week. I also placed an order through Vitacost for a few gluten free products using the $10 credit that they give new users. I’m also in Jacksonville tonight getting ready for a coupon workshop […]
After a few weeks of big trips, we took this week off from shopping. We did get our Zaycon order of 40 lbs of beef, that took a couple of hours to put up so it was like going grocery shopping. Between that order and the chicken order earlier this year, we are set for […]
