Today, I had to shop smart. It was a challenge trying to pick out certain foods over another. I had to keep in mind that I couldn't spend anymore than $31 for the entire week (I know right). So, I got the sales ad from Kroger first, because that's my place to shop. I wrote down a list of things to get, which included:
*Red Barron pizza (must have)
*100 calorie shortbread snacks (6 count)
*Activia strawberry yogurt
*Red seedless grapes
*Skinless chicken breast
*Fresh broccoli
*Big K diet green tea
*Oscar Meyer Honey Smoked Turkey
*Sara Lee honey wheat bread
*Cheese
*Lay's Potato Chips
*Vanilla Ice Cream
*Strawberries
*Granny Smith Apples
But when I got to the check out line, I was a little surprised that with tax, I couldn't get all that I wanted. Have you ever gotten irritated about being in a rush and the person in front of you has a basket full of items that they couldn't get and were trying to decide what to keep and what they were going to put back?? (Honestly, I have.) Well, that person was me today. No chips, no ice cream(ohh noo!!!), and I had to choose between grapes, strawberries or a bag of apples. Strawberries won!! I wanted everything in my basket, but knew I had limits and had to stick to my budget. Now, I'm worried about how my week is going to go. I hope I shopped smart. I have a crazy week ahead of me. You will know every detail of my challenge. I have to go eat everything I can before tomorrow comes lol!!!! So, goodbye until the morning.
