Because of these issues and the fact that anymore the two of us are so busy we have not really gone grocery shopping is several weeks. Trips to the store for one or two things have been made but we have failed to replenish the necessary staples of the kitchen that had been completely used-up (i.e. ketchup) in quite some time.
Having a few hours between classes and wanting to do this for Maria I went grocery shopping! Going with out a list or really any idea of exactly what we needed and didn't need I bought nearly one of everything the store had! The checker was amazed at the amount of groceries I managed to fit in one cart and I was in a state of shock when I saw the total reach more than $260! After using my membership card it lowered a bit but was still over $200!
Despite having spent so much money Maria was still very happy with my efforts and needless to say we will not be eating out as much this week... we can't afford to!

I know exactly what you mean. I like to shop, but unloading the stuff and putting it away stinks. I am luckly as I shop at the commissary and they put the bags in the car for you. You have to tip them, but it is totally worth it. Shopping without a list is always very dangerous. You have to think about it though, you haven't shopped in a while so, spread that money out over the several weeks, and it will seem more reasonable.
