I enjoyed my husbands day off today and went shopping by myself!  I haven’t done any shopping for three weeks now so I was a little afraid of what today might look like, but we did very good.  Not having three kids I was also able to hit more stores.  I had wonderful cashiers and a great time.

Funny story…  they were out of Pork Loin in the case, so I asked if they had any in the back.  He asked “Do you want a whole or a half?”  Having no idea really what the size difference was I went into stock up mode and said “Whole”…  the thing is huge!  Thankfully we have freezer space and love pork chops and roasts.  A third of my total was for this… $22 in pork (at $1.99 lb).
