Hi, I am Bree from My Money Saving Recipes. In case you missed her post, I am doing the Publix Photo Show and Tell for Liza this week!
I checked the fridge and pantry before I left for Publix and realized that I stocked up on a lot of stuff last week. I also found myself thinking, “Did we not eat at home this week?” We had so many dinner foods in the freezer. I was happy until I remembered that my husband was in charge of the kids and his dinners 2 nights this week since I had plans! I also noticed that the granola bars and the a couple of the 10 boxes of cereals that we bought this past weekend ($5/5 cereal coupon) had been eaten (perhaps dinner for the kids and hubby? :)) I can’t complain because when my husband gets home he is all about the kids! I brought my trusty sidekick, Charlie with me on this shopping trip. Half way through, I took this picture. Do any of you remember the Where’s Waldo books? I played my own version of Where’s Charlie? 🙂 Yes… he is kicking my bread! Good thing he’s cute!
I forgot my M&M coupons, so I THINK I will go back to purchase those. I have a 2 year old who needs a little positive reinforcement (aka bribing) when it comes to potty training… and oh, who am I kidding, I’m going to eat the majority of them :)!! I will also need to go back at some point to get milk. We try to stick to $60 a week for food and we usually do. This week I might be under! Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. I couldn’t get it any brighter in the kitchen. Okay, here is the photo!
