DH and I went to Aldi and Sam’s yesterday, that’s the first time we’ve been or done any big shop since before Christmas, he has mostly been just picking up a few things as needed as I’ve been working on rotating out things from the freezers/pantry.
For the most part we stuck to the list I carefully made out over the past week along with price checking, but I was still mildly shocked about the total. Every item we bought was food (although that may be stretching the definition on the potato chips and jar of candy DH bought) no OTC meds, no cleaners or paper goods, just food. Mostly we bought fresh fruit & veggies, bananas and grapes, potatoes, onions, carrots, lettuce, cukes, tomatoes, etc. and heavy cream, sour cream, milk but no cheese at all. The only meat we bought was a rotisserie chicken, one pack of chicken breast and 2 boxes of breakfast sausage. The only thing I can think of we bought for storage was a container of coffee.
SB~I like trying out different recipes too especially ones that uses things I normally have on hand that stores well. Our internet isn’t the greatest but sometimes I’m able to use the hotspot on my phone and watch a few YouTube videos, one I like is Mandy in the Making and you can look at the recipes on her site if you don’t want to watch the videos.
I am worn out from yesterday, between the trip there and back and all the walking just does me in. I’m hoping to get some work done in the kitchen today getting some of that produce ready to use but it may have to wait until tomorrow.
