ok this is a mom moment~

ok so this is a post that is really just for me. i get excited about stupid things. however this one i came home from the store today and even sargento said he was somewhat impressed with my new skill. ok so for most of you, you have probably figured this out a long time ago. sometimes i am a little slow on the uptake.

so i was inspired by john and kate plus 8. i love that they feed their hugh family very healthy food and all on a relatively small budget. i think she said she spends about $150.00 dollars a week. so i thought if she can do it so can i. the first week was kind of a bust. i planned out our meals had kind of some big ones, still working the kinks out and spent about $102.00. So then for the next three weeks i kind of found my grove, started planning my meals better, including fun yet healthy snacks for the kids with a splurge of ice cream or something ever now and then.. guess what my total has been each week for the last three weeks!!! well are you guessing.

here ya go.. $50.00!! (well usually between 50.00 & 55.00) depends on if we have to stock up on some essentials! like i said that includes all meals, snacks, fruit, and to top it off i do not use coupons because i do not get the paper. im so excited.. i am hoping this will help our budget and i am it actually makes me enjoy grocery shopping because i am always trying to see if i can keep it right at that mark.

ok like i said this post is more just because i am excited about my accomplishment.. i doubt anyone really cares about our grocery shopping habits!
