LOL!!! I guess that is what happens when you have kids!! Robin and I are

looking forward to school starting because then we will have the mornings to do

stuff alone!

some items that are advertised as light, arent necessarily lower

points then the real thing, or only a 1 pt difference, so it does pay

to read those labels!! And oh yes Maureen, it is MUCH more enjoyable

to go alone-LOL, but Jim and I shop together most of the time so it

is like a date night for us--I know , we need to get a life too:)

Have you tried the skinny cows?? I was surprised at how good they are and only

2 points. I told Robin last night that I thought they were as good as his

Dreyers all natural ice cream.

Shopping. Well I try to make a list and stick to it.

The last few months it has been to the grocery store

alone or with a friend, we use that as time we can

chat and visit. And then on Sat I go to the fruit/veg

stand. Going with my friend seems to keep us both

honest, and we kind of raze each other into staying

with our lists.

I would not really say it was anything other than

something that I need to do. I enjoy it more when the

store is not crowded.

Unfortunately, I live in one of those areas where we can't get them. I have

asked at the grocery store and the say their distribution center can't get them.

BooHoo! And while I'm whining, I want a Trader Joe's!!!!!!!!!

Well I actually love to grocery shop and try new finds! But here lately

with everything going on. I tend to decide what I want and have time to fix

then just go get what is needed. So here I am going to the store just about

every day! How is that for time managment! LOL
