How does one person spend almost $100 at the grocery store?
How is it possible for just me, not a family of four, spend almost $100 at the grocery store. It seems like such a ridiculous amount. I'm still in the building up my little stockpile in case of nuclear disastor phase I guess. It just seems like a lot of stuff. Though the little things tend to be really expensive, like spices, vanilla, and all the yummy baking supplies. Last week I spent like $20, and now it was close to $100. Granted it probably all evens out in the end. But I didn't really buy that many expensive items (if you dont' count all the swiffer stuff I bought this week b/c i needed refills on everything.) Maybe it was the $15 worth of swiffer stuff, or maybe the $20 in baking stuff that I won't use very often (like shortning, vanilla extract, maple flavoring, measuring spoons, and maple syrup -- I'm making maple peacon scones that's why all the maple stuff). I guess it was only like $65 w/o all the baking and cleaning supplies. *Sigh, I wish I could buy that stuff when I'm only spending $20 on food instead of spending it when I'm already spending $65 on food.
I really shouldn't be whining that much about it b/c I only really go to the grocery store about every 7-10 days. It really goes back and forth too, between a cheap grocery run (20-30 one week on the fruits and veggies) to the typical $60-80 the next time. Oh well, at least I can make maple-peacan scones now.
I have to say, watching the "reality" show "The Biggest Loser" has been the best movtivation for me to eat right and get off my ass. Seeing that these people are in their mid-20's and HUGE! just really makes you see how important eating right and excersing is. Dear god please never let me get like that.
I'm off to make my dinner and scones for breakfast for the rest of the week!
