I can get discouraged by how expensive groceries are right now!!! However, we are committed to not sacrificing good food. I don't splurge on many special treats anymore, but produce is still welcomed in abundance. Our bill for this week's groceries for our family of 7 was under $150. Keeping in mind we had ground beef in the freezer and our milk is from a dairy.
These were my shopping helpers this week. And I do mean helpers!!! We rounded our spending to $150 even by donating to the veterans outside the store. So nice to spend time w/ these two sweeties!
