Menu for the Week

I just completed my weekly shopping trip.  I was sad to see the milk at Kroger was not marked down.  I had to buy some at full price ($3.49/gallon).  I did find some awesome deals, like sandwich bread for $0.49, Oceanspray Cranberry Sauce $0.50/can, Diapers $4.99, Oyster Crackers $0.69, Split Chicken Breast for $0.99/lb, and a few more things).

My goal for the week is to not go to the store unless we absolutely have to do so, like if we run out of milk.
