Bi-Weekly Trip

I go grocery shopping about every two weeks!! I also go randomly when we ran out of something like bread or need something last minute for dinner!! I buy meat in bulk at Sams unless someone has a good sale, which someone usually does weekly, so I buy in bulk and freeze in individual portions!! I am also a brand-name whore on certain things...others, I just dont care!! Basically there is ALOT I buy that I wont have a coupon for, but I try to price shop so I can get it at the best possible price!!

I finally left my house today after being iced/snowed in for four days!! We went to Tom Thumb, Target, Kroger, and Walmart...tomorrow I am going to Walgreens and Albertsons, and maybe back to Kroger to stock up on veggies!! :)

This is todays trip...
