Wow, this has by far been the best grocery shopping month that I've had in my entire life!
I'm actually pretty surprised that I did so well tonight at Publix. I didn't really have a list (a big no-no for me) but just a general idea of what I needed to buy. Plus I kinda felt icky, so I wasn't really in a mood to shop.
I ended up buying waaaaay more than I planned on, but it all worked out so well I can't really complain. I was kicking myself in the butt for buying so much when I had to load it all into my car though. It was raining cats and dogs and I had left my umbrella in the car! :(
So here's what I came home with:
Not pictured is a loaf of Sara Lee bread. I forgot to add it to the pile and didn't realize this until I'd already put half of it away. So just close your eyes and imagine a loaf of bread...
