3/4 ALDI
Well, I did make it two weeks, for the most part, in between grocery store visits. I bought a few things (strawberries, peanut butter, trail mix) at Target while my mom was here visiting.
Meanwhile, I made cinnamon rolls last night and used the last of my flour, the last of my powdered sugar, and I'm dangerously low on brown sugar. Not to mention I've been out of chocolate chips for about a week now. Imagine that. ME. Without baking ingredients! Inconceivable! (Name that movie.)
Also, I am seeing my friend tomorrow, but I am meeting her in between our houses at a camp ground. I'd love to bring her a meal (since she just had a baby), but it needs to be something that doesn't need to be refrigerated. So, I picked Pioneer Woman's 7 can soup. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/seven-can-soup/?printable_recipe=78065 Basically, you dump all 7 cans in one big pot and stir it. I'd say that's an easy meal! And since it's canned stuff, no refrigeration necessary. Yes.
So, these things sent me to ALDI today.
