Day 163: Groceries

Posted on | February 11, 2008 |

Today I had The Son sit down and write up a menu and shopping list for the week.  It wasn’t a complicated affair since tonight and Thursday will be the only nights we’re likely to sit down to a meal together 

After deciding on what to make tonight and Thursday, I had The Son check out the Kroger and Safeway on-line sale circulars to see if there any additional items to add to our list — items that we might not need this week but that we should buy anyway because of good sales.  The only deal he could find that was interesting was a Buy One Get One Free offer on English Muffins.

Whole Foods — $8.20
2lbs. ground turkey thigh for our Shepherd’s Pie tonight
