Groceries.....

Posted by Dawn Sutherland (Phoenix, United States) on 17 August 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.

Another shot in my "women's work is never done" series. I end up going to the grocery store twice a week, feeding a family of 5 takes a lot of food and a thrifty mom!! Milk and bread are always the first to go!

@tyan: Ah yes, when on a limited budget you get quite creative with the list and meals. The fun is just beginning for you my friend. :)

That's why they created warehouse stores. I think teens and their friends are like locusts. They will eat almost anything and everything!

@Laurie: Indeed they do! Mine are not teens yet and I fear how much they will eat once they hit that stage.

Lol. Great series; I can tell that the AM3 ladies especially are relating to these domestic goddess scenes you're posting daily.

@Viewfinder: I think they are and that's wonderful. That is what AM3 is all about, bonding and sharing our passion. Ha ha, you know some of the men have been able to relate also, I had to mention them yesterday so I didn't seem sexist. Men we do appreciate your help also!!! It is not just women's chores.

Another spot-on brilliant one, Dawn! :) You've helped me feel so much happier already about this week's massive grocery list! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. :)

@Rebecca: You are certainly welcome!! I am so appreciative for all the feedback I have received from this series. We all (men and women) have lots on our plates so when you show each other what your daily life is like you feel like you are not the only one because somewhere, someone can relate! :)
