Grocery Shopping Sunday, 4/19/09

For all of our marriage, my husband has always gone grocery shopping with me. I am thankful that he is willing to do this, but now that we have two kids to come along, I am convinced that it saves me time and money to just go to the store myself with the baby. The last three weeks I shopped by myself (see some of my trips here and here) and have spent $60 or less. This week I went with the family, and my trip was nearly $100.

Here is what I got:
