The pup is doing much better. The idea of ‘quiet’ has gotten into his head and it’s great.
On the hubby’s suggestion, this week we are doing an experiment in grocery shopping. Instead of doing the usual big trip to get things for the whole week we’re going to get all our food for the week from stores we can walk to.
Lately the grocery bill has been getting bigger and bigger even though we’ve been sticking to the list and not giving in to impulse buys. So we’re going to be resourceful and see if we can stay within (or at least close to) our normal grocery budget by shopping nearby.
We have 2 great markets in the hood, Bari and Green Grocer. And a bakery, D’Amatos. Yesterday we went to Bari and got all our stuff for dinner.
I’m hoping it works out and we can keep it up or at least incorporate it into our routine. Maybe doing part of our shopping at the supermarket and supplementing it with stuff from the neighborhood places.
So the experiment has begun.
Grocery total so far this week: $16.97
