Having a baby totally changes shopping. Not only do you have to add in the extra time getting them in and out of the car, but also the moments they spend giving grins to fellow shoppers and the store's employees. I love the way even such a little munchkin can brighten another's day. Rosalind already has "shopping friends". :)
It's a good thing she enjoys it (for the most part at least) 'cause shopping at new stores in a new town has taken some getting used to. Before moving we only went "real" shopping monthly and then made quick trips to the stores within walking distance to get milk, veggies...
Since moving and experiencing a bit of sticker shock, we've been in and out of several stores a week grabbing great deals found on Crystal's blog and trying to make up for loosing Aldi by shopping the store ads.
Much as Rosalind may like it, I've found it quite exhausting and know it's time to change plans. So, I'm going start shopping every other week and just getting the essential perishables (and any can't pass up deals) in between. I'm looking forward to no "real" shopping next week!
Anyway, here is our menu plan for the week.
Breakfasts~
Granola with homemade yogurt
Cinnamon rolls and fruit
Eggs and toast
Pancakes
Banana nut muffins
Smoothies
Dinner~
Sunday- Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and salad
Monday- Gayle's Nacho casserole
Tuesday- Chicken pot pie
Wednesday- Sour cream chili bake with salad
Thursday- Pumpkin pasta (from my new friend Candace) with homemade bread and steamed veggies.
Friday- Western burgers - yum!
Saturday- Stuffed zucchini- a family favorite!
After a meeting at school yesterday, the students were asked to please bring food home. So Joshua brought back dessert for the week. :)
