You can see my menu on one of the previous posts for the week and see that we have several extra things. I made a large pot of sauce last night over 2 gallons of spaghetti sauce which will last for several meals. I splurged on a couple of extra things as well. <p> Well, it feels weird to be this transparent…..It is not a very healthy week too as you can see! I think though I have 6 lbs of popcorn which is way too much, maybe the grinding thing will work out though!
You did great! Wow, I sure wish I could find avocadoes for that price. Cheapest I've ever seen them is $1 each. And we loooove avocadoes here!

I can't believe that you got out of costco for 16.30!!!
I call it the 100.00 dollar store. That's about the lowest I can get out for.

Don't be so hard on yourself! I think there's a great balance of healthy foods….and when your kids start to get picky you just pick your battles. =) That's amazing prices. I hope I can shop for that little when I have a family of 6. =)
