My Grocery list

Yesterday, I ran out of food in my house. I let my food supply get low, so tonight I could take inventory, and wrote down what I needed. After church, for inspiration, I drove around one of our nice neighborhoods driving by and checking out the houses for sale. One day, a house like that, or maybe even better than that, will be mine. Anyway, I finally got around to shopping and here is my list: Salt at $0.85, peaches at $0.95, dog treats at $1.25, ground beef at $5.15, red delicious apples at $2.09, potatoes at $2.78, 3 cans of wet dog food at $0.99 each, a fruit bowl at $7.88, dishwasher cleaner at $ 4.29, bananas at $.061, navel oranges at $3.54, 10 ears of corn at $2.99 each, red grapes at $3.12, olive oil at $5.99 a bottle(expensive stuff) , tomatoes at $15.53( I got a dozen or so large ones) cereal at $5.19 a box, laundry detergent at $10.99 for a large bottle, diet sorft drinks at $4.00 for 6 bottles, soup at $2.19, crackers(to eat with the soup) at $2.48 per box, Steak sauce at $2.69 for a small bottle, One half gallon of skim milk( to add to cereal) at $1.79, butter sticks (one box) at $2.39, bottled water at 1.89, scented room plugins at $3.99, vegetable and beef soup at $1.78 each, grape juice at $2.50 each(two gallons of them) , 4 cans of kidney beans( you can eat these with just about anything) at $0.73 each. Coupons took about $15.00 off the bill(I have a shopper's card) . But the total bill came to : $139.13. That is a lot for me, just one person, but I plan on not doing any grocery shopping for about a month. The thing that I really loathe is having to unload the stuff when I get home, cause the only one that is there, while happy to see me, not having arms(not to mention the inclination to help!) can't. He is very sweet though. Now as far as groceries go, I feel very blessed. I felt sorta bare yesterday, and the day before. But Sunday night, and from now on, Sunday night is reserved for grocery shopping. Want something at the store? Write it down because Sunday is when to get it.
