Well, this is where my boat leaves from (Yes, I am a HUGE Zac Brown Band fan!)...yep, I finally broke down just a little over 2 weeks of my strike and went to the grocery store. I, personally, could not face another night of pasta, eggs or some other weird concoction.
Following an adventurous day on the lake with some friends (who shall remain nameless and our story is safely secure with us), I broke down. However, I am happy to report that over the past 2 weeks I had saved enough from our grocery envelope that I was able to pay complete cash for groceries that will last us long past this week...minus the 2 gallons of milk that I will be lucky to stretch to Wednesday. I know this maybe astounding to some but I was able to stock us up for at least 1 1/2 weeks for right at $120, including meat purchases. I did this without any coupons! I know some of you are probably shocked, but with the stage at which I am at right now my couponing has gone on the back burner.
We are trying to still get in the swing of a new "routine" as well as adjust to homeschooling while being interrupted by an almost 1 year old! Quite interesting at times.
Now that my pantry is fully stocked, I look forward to posting some of the new recipes I have pinned on my pinterest boards. I generally try to leave my comments under the pins that I complete just in case you are curious as to how it turned out.
I am continually reminded how blessed we are even if I did eat pasta much more than I ever desire (not a big pasta fan!). Looking forward to the blessings the Lord will bestow upon us this week!
Cupful of blessings,
Carri
