Going Grocery Shopping

Posted by Mel on July 17, 2009

One of the things that I find is that we can never seem to keep enough food in the house. I suppose that with a family of five with two teenage boys that I should expect that, but it never ceases to amaze me at how much food we go through.

One of the best examples that I can think of is milk. Lately, we have been going through two gallons of milk per day which is just crazy. Even when the kids were little, we used to be able to go through two jugs per week, but I guess those days are behind us.

I need to make sure that I get everything on the shopping list this time as last time I didn’t pick up Stacy’s hearing aids from the store and she had to miss a day of school (though she sure didn’t complain).

Though I find grocery shopping sometimes annoying, it’s a nice break from the house and the kids. As a stay at home mom, I need that a lot more than you would think. In fact, I think that these errands that I have to do on my own have helped me to stay sane all these years. Don’t get me wrong – I love my kids, but sometimes they drive me nuts!
