I didn’t spend as much on groceries this week – but that’s only because we were out of town last week and so we made a quick grocery run this past weekend when we got back (one of those unorganized, unplanned kinds of grocery trips… you know, where you are in a hurry and just start throwing stuff in the cart because there’s no food in your house and you are hungry??! :)). Since we still have LOTS of food in the house, from THAT trip, we didn’t need too much this week. As far as meat goes, I will be relying on our freezer stash of venison (my husband got three deer hunting season!) and Zaycon chicken. I think we are done with traveling for a few months, so I’m back to (slightly) more organized shopping trips and meal planning. Hope that everyone had a great holiday season!
