If I could buy a cow, learn to grow wheat, and buy a heater for the greenhouse, I think I could avoid the grocery store all together {I’d buy everything else from Amazon Grocery of course}.
I pulled myself away from the garden twice last week to do a little grocery shopping.
Here is what I purchased:
Fred Meyer: $18.93
I cannot remember the last time I spent over $18 for 8 items. As I left the store I was laughing so hard I almost wet myself. However, I am happy to report a four-year old could list the “ingredients” of everything I purchased.
Albertsons $4.11
I went back and forth for a few days trying to decide if I was going to sit this round of double coupons out or not. In the end, the cheap marshmallows lured me in. Plus, Monkey Boy wanted bread for his peanut butter sandwiches. So I decided to go ahead and make his dreams come true. The free M & M’s and Stove Top weren’t a bad deal either. I plan on using the marshmallows for smores and Rice Krispie Treats, the track team will get the Easter Eggs and the chickens will get the Stove Top Stuffing.
How did you do this week? What was your favorite purchase?

YEAH! I found you. Someone got a little tricky over there and figured a way to post your blog info and I was lucky enough to find it before it is removed. You will be a daily visit for me. I love your site. Love the chicken info too (we are hoping to get some in the near future) but I need to learn more about them before I will jump in.
Mavis says
Chickens are soooo much fun. Just not when they get into the garden. LOL
Dani says
Can anyone tell me where the stove top coupon is I can’t seem to find it?
