Ohhh, my children would like to be at your house this week. They were asking me for some of those chocolate donuts! This week I thought of you & your groceries when I looked at mine--spinach & bananas, too! I didn't take a picture though and I am not at $60/week. But it's getting lower and I am continually inspired by your blog!
Thanks for the encouraging work. Your blog is on my blogroll on mine at www.kathink.blogspot.com

Pink Lady apples are my all time favorite and we have to pay at least $1.69/lb...that's an awesome deal!

How well does the Sun dishwashing powder from Dollar Tree work? I've been tempted to buy it! Please let me know if you like it. :)

Gayle, I'm a little surprised to see tampons on your list. I thought you were the one that told me about the Diva Cup???

Gayle said...

Monkey Mamma,

There are other people in the house that aren't quite ready for the diva cup yet. ;)

I was wondering if the 2/$1 at Franz was on Sunday or Monday? Thanks!
