I think I should just go with you next time you go grocery shopping and fill my cart up with all the same stuff...it hurts my head to think through all the coupons and deals :) Nice work though!
Tiece - this is impressive! My only question - can one survive on gushers and cottage cheese? You should include the meals that result from your grocery trips - I really would love to see how it all comes together!
Katie~ Join me anytime!!!
Mer~ I totally agree! We don't actually eat cottage cheese at all (I tried it on the kids, but no go) :) It was all given to our friends! As for the gushers, our kids don't really get them except on special occasions (like potty training)... a single package (not box) lasts about a week! I gave some of those away too :) Honestly, I've been cooking a lot from our stockpile. We've been eating a lot of chicken, pasta, yogurt, fruits and vegetables. The chicken needs to be replenished soon!
