December

Anyone else have gifts to buy? That's what I thought. In December, I like to go as long as possible without buying groceries (except the basics, milk, eggs, bread, milk, more milk, and then probably some more milk because my children are little calves. Moo!). Not only can I use some grocery money to buy some nice gifts and I can also you the "extra" money to buy ingredients to make an extra special Christmas Eve dinner and/or Christmas cookies. Say you spend $50 a week on groceries, for every week you can stay out of the grocery store that's $50 in your pocket!

I'm going to post what we are eating for the next couple weeks on the google calendar. And my Christmas present to you: lots of new recipes (without peas, just for you, Ben)! I just added over 100 recipes to my collection and starting Dec 11, I'll share the wealth.
