Food Storage x2

These aren't really my groceries. I use cloth bags, of course.

OK- that wasn't gratifying enough. I need to specify a few things-just in case anyone out there has the same pallet and numbers as the Tucker family and wants to copy our menu.

The groceries were purchased at Walmart, Sams Club, and Save-a-lot. I think I found what stores had the best price. (sometimes it wasn't, but I didn't want a GINORMOUS package of that thing from Sam's)

For those of you who haven't heard of Save-a-lot...it is ghetto. There is no arguing about it. But prices cheaper than Walmart? Come on. And Rhet won't eat any other spaghetti sauce than theirs (only $1 a jar, too) I don't go very often (location North Augusta, SC- about 20 min from my house) so I got 15 jars last time and he was fussing cause he wanted me to get more. Their prices for canned goods are $.49. If you don't care about name-brand- this is the place to go (during the day...without many small children...with your cell phone charged...and tell at least two people where you will be:)

I was happy- the Save-a-lot in North Augusta was clean, they bagged your groceries IN BAGS, and you could bring the cart to your car...unlike Tallahassee and Philly where you put the groceries directly into your cart after purchase, item by item, the carts were locked in and you couldn't bring them to your car, and the stores weren't so clean. Good times. Good times.

Yes, I believe I am done bragging now. Anyone who sees Rhet... Will you do me a favor and just casually ask when he will be making the food rotation shelves whenever (and everytime) you see him? Thanks! Peer pressure. Works for teens- why not for husbands??
