I have TWO $25.00 Publix Gift Card Giveaways going on right now! Go HERE and HERE to enter the giveaways!

This has been such a crazy busy week for us!  Lots of late nights working on projects, a Tampa Bay Rays vs Blue Jays baseball game for “Tweet at the Trop” and a Chick-fil-A luncheon.  While the baseball game and luncheon were loads of fun, they did not help reduce the work that is piling up on my list of things to do!

My grocery list for this week’s shopping trip was really easy to make. We really wanted to stock up on 8 O’Clock Coffee since we run on coffee, Vlasic Dill Pickles (I’m shocked to say that I ran out of them in my stockpile!) and Digiorno Pizza. We also got some jars of baby food to donate tomorrow during Stamp Out Hunger.  Our out of pocket total was a bit more than I would have preferred.  That is partially because we are now using organic milk & eggs (I haven’t graduated to organic cheese yet) and because we got four greeting cards and stocked up on coffee.

This is a really fun week to go grocery shopping!  There are lots of Mexican food related ingredients on sale and Mexican food is one of my favorite types of food to cook and eat!  Taco ingredients, avocados, tortilla chips, the list goes on and on.  We have our fridge stocked with fresh produce from our coop (I’m so happy we got lots of avocados, tomatoes and cilantro this week) so I only bought fresh corn today.  I wanted to get tortilla chips but frankly, we forgot.  I’m pretty excited about making a huge Mexican meal on Cinco de Mayo!

You may notice that I purchased Digiorno Pizzeria Pizzas. As a head’s up, there has been a voluntary recall on select pizzas. Go HERE for more info.
