I just got back from the grocery store with my meal cards for this week. WOW. It did take me a little bit longer than normal because A. I was getting used to having the cards B. Wal-Mart was packed and C. The ladies in front of me in the checkout line had 100 coupons for deodorant and razors. (What the hell are you going to do with 100 mini deodorants?) I am sorry to all of you out there who are avid “couponers”, but wow, it was super annoying and my frozen/cold foods became thawed/lukewarm foods.
So…off my coupon rant. I was very proud of my purchases for the week. Not only does my pantry look tidy and organized, I bought food for 7 dinners, 7 lunches and 7 breakfasts at an average of $9.00 per meal. Not Per Person…thats for a family of 5 for 5 days and then 7 this weekend! With NO coupons! One trip to the store this week, except perhaps on Friday, I may have to grab another 2 gallons of milk. We have 5 kids…so it goes fast.
I think this is going to work out just perfect!
