I don't really know. I basically work to buy groceries and pay a couple bills. It's absolutely insane but I can't figure out where the problem is!!! I make all of our meals, avoid the "middle" of the store as much as possible, and we grow most of our vegetables in the summer(which will drop the bill some but not as much as you'd think) I take a specific list with me, very rarely stray from my list, we don't go on last minute grocery trips for that nights dinner if we can avoid it, and I've even stopped taking DH with me because he always puts a ton of other stuff in the cart.... And still. I went on Saturday; and spent $150. It's Wednesday and I'll be there again by Saturday, and it'll only make it that long because I'll probably order a pizza for lunch Friday and DH and I will go out for dinner Friday night!
