Today was grocery day. And I have a love/hate relationship with grocery day. About a week before the day I am to go grocery shopping, I start my list. I like to do this so I have plenty of time to scope out what we're out of..as well as meal planning for the next 2 weeks. Making the list & planning meals is pretty fun. I enjoy looking for new recipes..to change things up..and there is something satisfying to me about making a list & being able to cross everything off of it when I am done. I like to do my grocery shopping first thing in the morning, right after taking the kids to school. Wal-Mart is ALOT less crowded in the 9:00 hour vs. mid afternoon. So that's a WIN right there. My little Emmi-Reece is my grocery shopping partner..and it's also a WIN if she stays in the buggy & behaves while we shop. If she does not...well....that's another story for another day. She did good today..thankfully! So I go up & down every isle...crossing off my list...and praying that the store has everything that I need. Ugh..I cannot stand needing something..& the store being out of it. STOCK UP PEOPLE! Today they had their Valentine's Day stuff on sale & you know that I racked up on Reese's hearts...my faveeee! I did pretty good spending wise today too..which is another WIN! I buy mostly everything at Wal-Mart & run by the commissary afterwards to grab a few things that I prefer to get there. By this point it's almost noon & I have to head home to un-load. And that's the dreaded part. Carrying all of the heavy bags into my house & having to make about 2o trips in doing so. I do enjoying arranging everything neatly onto my shelves & in the fridge. Picking every single grape off the vine & placing in a plastic container...not so much! Grocery shopping today went well overall. I am thankful to have the money to buy groceries...& the ability to walk into the store and buy them. I find that you spend less money when you have a list..and it's also beneficial when planning meals.
I am glad that grocery day is over....for the next 2 weeks anyway! =)
