[QUOTE="donna723, post: 498518, member: 1883"] Signorina, that's my downfall, going to the grocery store so often! It's only a half block away from me, i'm in there every other day, and even if I only went in for one little thing, I will spend at least $20 on other things. It makes a huge difference when you have kids around, especially teenage boys. When my son was a teenager he would take a whole package of lunch meat and four slices of bread and make two sandwiches out of it, then still eat a big dinner! He's grown now but still has a healthy appetite. He stayed with me for about three weeks last fall and my grocery bill didn't just double, it [I]tripled[/I] while he was here! When it's just me here by myself most nights I cook but sometimes it's leftovers or I just heat up some soup or have grilled cheese. But when he's here, I make an A-list big home cooked dinner every night, not because he asks for it but because it just seems like the thing to do. And if there's any leftovers, he eats those before he goes to bed. My brother and sister in law had three boys that were all teenagers at the same time ... poor planning on their part! My poor sister in law would go to the grocery store and would go through with two carts, pushing one and pulling the other, and fill up both of them! And a few days later it would all be gone and she'd be back in the store again! [/QUOTE]
