The Grocery Store...

Well, I did my grocery shopping this afternoon. For a family of 5, for an entire week, including toiletries and stuff for DH to take to the firestation (things I wouldn't normally by for the house), I spent $165.00. No coupons. And that was also getting an "extra" meal that I didn't have on the menu. They had salmon on sale for a really good price, and we haven't had it in a good long while, so I bought some...$5 extra, big deal. LOL

I got my potatoes on sale. Actually they were marked WAY down. A 10# bag for $1.99, just because a couple of them had those itty bitty sprouts starting. I also got the gallon of milk for $1.50 because it's getting close to the sell by date. I really should have gotten more and froze it. All you have to do is open the jug, pour a little out and put the lid back on, stick it in the freezer. I usually pour the extra into a quart size mason jar, put a lid on it and use it first from the fridge. Or I'll send the excess to the firestation for the guys to use in their coffee or whatever.

DD15 is spending the night with a friend. DD9 is washing dishes (she actually volunteered for the job!). DD7 is watching a movie on TV. DH is playing a video game in the bedroom. A fairly quiet night. I don't seem to get very many of those anymore. No special plans for Valentine's Day. At least DH got a home cooked meal from me! LOL

I'm hoping to be able to call it an early night. I'm really tired and not feeling good. So I can't wait for 8 pm to roll around so that the kids can get in bed.
