Did anyone else feel like this week was never going to end? I really have no complaints being safe and sound in my house as we read the news and heard reports of Boston and Texas. I went into mama mode, and spent the first few days just wanting to be with my 8 year […]
With gorgeous weather in South Carolina, we had a great week of enjoying the outside and playing. We planted our second annual garden with peas, squash, corn, carrots and tomatoes. This year I splurged and bought organic seeds after reading about GMO produce and seeds. I’m trying to make Amy proud and at least learn […]
We had a fun week this week. It still involved lots of painting, and trips to the dump, but it was more calm and normal. As for shopping we hit Publix and CVS. I really didn’t need to go to CVS for anything, but when you have a little one in diapers it is best […]
Do you ever have weeks that you get all the coupons ready and then never get to the store? I have driven around with list, coupons and resuable shopping bags ready, for the last three days. Each time we are near a grocery store it just doesn’t fit for me to go in (usually it’s […]

This week I made a last minute trip to Publix to grab the first week of Italian Days deals. With an hour to spare until the store closed and the ad ended, I still managed to find all the deals in stock! We went to a different Publix in town that is mostly a college […]
We managed to pull off our second week of no shopping except for a quick run to get milk. I’m amazed at how much milk we go through and I think when we move we should get a cow… To help cover the cost of the milk I grabbed a few money maker south beach […]
This week was an off week for me. Instead of shopping I basically went “un-shopping” and cleaned out every cupboard and pantry. We are moving in a few weeks and for a stockpile grocery shopper this is a bit of an ordeal. It’s amazing what can get pushed to the back of a bathroom cabinet. […]
