Haha - Whoa! But you have 5 other mouths to feed!! And you're eating for 2 so $200 for 6 people isn't bad, right?

Yeah it's never a good thing to shop when you're hungry, 9 months pregnant or not! Hope you got some good snacks at least!!

yeah um never go when you are hungry - that is a steadfast rule to know that you will definitely come out with way more than you intended!

That's why I make my DH do the shopping. When I go, I come home with stuff like Cap'n Crunch and PopTarts (yes, I have sophisticated snacking tastes! LOL). He buys junk food too, but not usually "my" kind of junk food, so it's not so bad.

Oh I think I always average that with 6 of us here. I have learned hard lessons to not go while starving LOL I get home and find junk instead of meals LOL

LOL that's why I don't go very often, I'm always hungry. I make a list, give it to Tony and he goes and gets what is on the list. If I go, I just leave the note in my pocket and buy whatever I feel like LOL

That is the exact reason I hate grocery shopping and going to Target, Wal-Mart or Costco to get "household necessities". I spend WAAAAYYYYY too much money!

Umm, you mean pretzels, chips, bread and fruit don't qualify as dinner? Man, I thought I'd been doing it right all this time! ;)

My husband does way better at the grocery than me. He gets what's on the list and that's it. I of course go down every isle just in case they have a deal.

I went to the store this afternoon while the hospice nurse was here looking at my grandma. I easily dropped $230 and only got five things on my list. LOL

I do this whenever DH is available... I love it because I get SOME goodies but he doesn't let me get everything that crosses my path, LOL!
