I hate the whole process of grocery shopping. It is such a chore! I can't just go shop and pick up this and that because I would not get enough and over spend. Too much impulse buying that way. I have to plan the meals. It is mainly dinners but I have to plan for 2 weeks! What stinks is what I am in the mood for now may not be the same thing I am in the mood for later. It is just not fun. Then you have to find cheap stuff to feed a family of five. Things are tight this week. I have $200 to buy enough food for two weeks for 5 people ( that is a total of 210 plates of food). Now, I know $200 seems like a lot, but when you have 3 teenage boys in the house and a hungry hubby... it isn't much at all! Buying fresh fruit and veggies is usually out of the question because it is so expensive most of the time. My boys love Granny Smith apples. When they are on sale I buy them but most of the time they are $1.49 a lb. I have to buy at least 10 apples and they are usually larger... it just adds up quickly! I try to make from scratch as much as I can. It is just all so frustrating! I wish I had someone that would do it for me. Any volunteers?
Back to my list... ugh!
