8:00am

Just once it would be nice to be able to sleep in

on the weekend.  I get as far as 6:30 - 7:30am

and have to get up because my back hurts.

Yesterday me and hubby went grocery shopping.

I didn't really have a list and was on the hunt for some

mark downs to make meals out of.

We spent $60 and I'm hoping that will last

for 3 weeks of meals.

These aren't in any particular order as to when

we will have them.

There will still be extra expenses for more milk, pop,

eggs, etc.  By making a meal menu for a week to three

weeks in advance then I feel it saves money

and trips to the grocery store.

Included with my menu I've posted

any mark downs I found at Kroger)
