Day 118: Groceries

Posted on | December 28, 2007 |

Today I figured that as long as I’d done all that work to dig out The Tank last night, I might as well run to Kroger and replenish our milk supply 

This purchase wiped out the very last of my $200. worth of Kroger gift cards I bought from The Daughter’s school just before the Christmas break.  I’ve still got some money left on my Vitamin Cottage card though.

Kroger — $27.77

• 1/2 gallon Horizon chocolate milk — $3.29 (saved $0.20)
• gallon Horizon 2% milk — $4.88 (saved $0.07)
• Carrs water crackers — $2.50 (saved $0.89)
• Late July organic crackers — $2.99
• Keebler chocolate chip cookies — $3.59
• Quaker chocolate granola bits — $2.51
• Kozy Shack chocolate pudding — $2.50 (saved $1.09)
• Cascadian Farm french fries — $3.00 (saved $0.19)
• carrots — $0.52
• acorn squash — $1.41

The cookies are for The Husband (and his special needs son :-)  ) .  The crackers and french fries are for The Daughter who’s having stomach trouble.  The chocolate pudding was purchased per The Son’s request

Do you know, the other night I made a huge, yummy shepherd’s pie for dinner.  The Son alone ate about half of it — just this massive pile of food.  The next morning I got up and found the boy in his bed asleep on top of his book and his reading glasses with all the lights on.  I also found the huge bag of nacho Doritos open on the table.  It turns out, as he informed me later that morning, that he woke up at 5am starving, deperately needing food.  I’m not sure when these boys go back to being normal human beings but I figure I’ve probably got about 4 or 5 years left of this.  Good thing he’s interested in learning to cook because he’s going to have to start sharing the workload
