First Grocery Trip for 2005!!! (#1)

First I'll post the list. The prices beside the items are the MAXIMUM amount to spend on it. Usually the prices are what the item actually costs, but sometimes I will find a cheaper alternative. Next will be the MENU'S. After my trip, I will post the total amount actually spent and, of course any special deals.

So, there we go!! I don't have specific dates of when a meal will be served, it all depends on the day we're having!! I usually try to reserve the 'meat and potatoes' type dinners for when Bill is home. Although sometimes he's not all that hungry for dinner, it's his lunch time!!

Hope this either helps you all out, or was at least an interesting read!!
Blessings!!
