Grocery Pick-up Happy

This is what happens when I don’t plan ahead of time, I go crazy with grocery shopping and I just pick up anything. I am bad with grocery shopping in fact I get high while grocery shopping, it’s my addiction. I am beyond my 50 per week limit, last week I went overboard by $3++ which isn’t so bad but this week I went overboard by $10 and I still need to buy a sack of rice for $13-15 so I will be overboard by almost half of my weekly budget.

We were lacking a lot of basic items on our pantry and what was suppose to be a 8-10 item list became 30+. Eeer! Way to go Claire! On my basic list is garlic, onion, tomato, bell pepper, ground pork, cauliflower, bread, yobaby yoghurt, decaf coffee for Ria and orange juice. All this will only cost me less than $20 but no, I had to pick up bing cherries because they were ridiculously cheap (1.49), johnsonville hotdog (I tasted it last Saturday and it was delish), hotdog bun (because I bought hotdog duh!), yobaby drinkable yoghurt, beechnut cereal and biscuits (for caleb’s baon & breakfast), juicy juice individual pack juices (they were on sale), quesadilla bread (I was hankering for some quesadilla, darn I was hungry while shopping), Mott’s apple juice (I not only bought 1 but 4 eeerrr), starbucks ice cream (free so no complaints here), tomato paste (just because) and organic pasta sauce. See? I was pick-up happy!

I feel bad actually after all of them were rung up and because I only saved $17 in coupons (real total was 75+); I promised myself not to go inside any and I mean ANY grocery store next week. On the upside though, I got passport pictures for free at CVS! I would have wanted to do their photobook deal (Free and they were really, really cute) but I just did not have the time to sort through numerous pictures and I really mean numerous because the hubby is trigger happy moreso now that he bought a VERY expensive D700 (I still can’t get over its price and I can’t believe I allowed him to buy the darn camera).
