[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 499213, member: 6705"] WOW. Just WOW. I spent $159 last Saturday, jammed my trunk, now the freezer, fridge and pantry are nice and almost full again. I need to stock more, but I could only put so much in my cart. And I shop alone, don't end up with a lot of junk. So - no one to drive a second cart. (Lots of sales + coupons at Kroger this weekend - I got about $300 worth.) What I got will feed Jett, husband and I for about 3 weeks. Add Onyxx in and it would drop to maybe 2. I did get some extra stuff, too. I buy the big bags of cereal for Jett - thought they are usually cheaper per ounce at Kroger than Wally World. I choke when I have to buy peanut butter. I get the huge tubs, cost of $7.99 each - only a couple years ago they were $4.99. Ugh! So, per week, add in Jett's outrageously expensive lunch ($2.65-$3.75 a DAY) and sundries like shampoo, toilet paper, etc., we're probably running about $400 a month. (FWIW, I got Marie Callender's lunches for $2 each... Cheaper than the koi they serve Jett at school!) I'd have Jett take/make his lunch, but it gets forgotten. Every darned day. Hmm, maybe I should just NOT put money in his lunch account and MAKE him remember. PB & cheese sandwich, banana and a Capri Sun. Guarantee it. I refuse to make them for him anymore. He's 13, not 3. (And he hates what I put in them, so...) husband works in a hospital, and their cafeteria is nice - salads are by the pound, and he can get meat, eggs, cheese etc., and eat WELL for $2. So I don't worry about him. Days I eat with him, it costs about $4 for both of us... [/QUOTE]
