I love Grocery Shopping?


Yes, this is a picture of our pantry right now. It is really pathetic. Anyone that knows me at all knows I love to shop, I am really quite passionate about it. However, I don't know that anyone knows how much I really don't like grocery shopping. I really try hard to go every other week, but that doesn't seem to be my mood right know. I am not in a food mood, sure it tastes good but I have a hard time coming up with ideas so I go to the store every couple of days and pick up what sounds good. If nothing sounds good well....Last night Kylie ask me what was for dinner, I said nothing sounds good I don't know, we should use up Tilapia in the freezer.~ I bought a Sam size bag a while ago, I wanted to try something new. I fried it thinking my kids would think it was chicken the first time and then I baked it with seasoning. They all hated it, they ate it but they really didn't like it. I have enough for one more meal, I may as well try a new recipe. ~ meanwhile Dean calls to say he's on his way home, Kylie answers and tells him whats for dinner. He says Please don't cook the fish, I will go get Wendy's for dinner. I actually like Tilapia. The kids really don't like it when I shop this way, there really are no snacks in our house unless you count saltines and cold cereal. Once a year I decide I am tired of shopping twice a month so I will make a huge list and go to Sams, I will fill two entire carts(one at a time) so full that I have to do a balancing act to get to the car. I can hardly push the cart and turning it is out of the question, I make sure I park as close as I can to the Exit door. It takes me a while but I am so excited at the thought of only going to the store for milk and fruit and vegtables for the next 8 wks that I don't mind the one marathon day. The kids love it when I shop this way, they are sure that the snacks will last forever. Dean on the other hand is not so excited about it, since he is the one that balances the budget.
