Grocery Shopping

I enjoy grocery shopping, I enjoy walking around the store and looking for good deals.  Once a week I make a dinner list and then a grocery list depending on what we already have.  I tend not to stray from my list (I'm so cheap) and I especially don't stray for things like cookies, chips, soda, ice cream, etc.  While your first thought is probably something like "wow, good for her, I don't have that sort of self control", think again.  Usually by the time we finish dinner I am complaining that I didn't buy anything to make dessert.  Once the complaining has settled down, I have three options, 1. scrounge for anything that has sugar 2. have extreme self control and eat an orange 3. go to the store and buy something.  Tonight I chose option 3.  I had done a fairly large shopping trip earlier today and had told myself I didn't need ice cream, but I caved within 5 hours and Ben and I ran to the store.  Fail.  My only comfort is that I will stick to "one serving" (not according to the package but according to the size of my mug). With that being said, let's get back to grocery shopping.  I'm not sure how other people shop and I wish I could get into couponing but below is a sample of my grocery list.  I find it much easier to have a list in front of me, with all my meals planned out, in order to save money and not buy things that are unnecessary.  

Now check out what we had for dessert under the Recipes tab!
