I just got back from the grocery store, so I'm going right off my receipt...
I would normally have eggs and thin sliced deli ham on the list, but we still have enough to last us this next week.
I did a quick stop today.

DH and I are wanting to buy a newer, bigger house (about 2xs as much as the one we have now) and after that I want to grow our family, so I know we need to try to get more on a budget.
Staci--WOW, where do you live that ground turkey is that cheap?? I pay $3.59 a pound for it here, more expensive than ground beef, but better for you. Every time I go in the store I run back to the meat to see if they have any marked down.
We didnt get a walmart until a few years ago and they didn't make it a super walmart, so no groceries. I miss that from when we lived in the states, because we shopped there all the time. They are supposed to be expanding it to a super at some point, but ...... So unfortuanatly we live in a small community without much competition in the grocery department so we get reemed on prices.
I go to two places, a local supermarket and then to Trader Joe's almost every Saturday - and items depend on price as well
