My Shopping Loot This Week

We are very fortunate to live very close to all four major grocery stores out here. When weeks like this one come along and I feel compelled to pick up a thing or two at several stores, I don't feel the guilt (or stress) of going to multiple stores.

I'll skip shopping next week - maybe pick up some milk and any super hot deals that can't be missed! :) We'll also be using up leftover cheese, milk, peppers, yogurt, stuff from the freezer, and some other goodies from last week. Here's what I scored this week....

First stop: Safeway
(pictured above)
