Grocery Game – My Spectacular Shopping Night

Things have been a little busy around my house and I’ve been VERY bad about sharing my shopping successes with you here. Last night, I had a pretty spectacular stock up night and I just HAD to brag.

Since I’ve been working on my stockpile, my “need” list has been shrinking. My pantry is full and I’ve gotten almost everything I need for the kids to have well rounded, and interesting, lunches for the foreseeable future. Now I’m just working on growing out the stock pile so that there is a diverse selection and we won’t get tired of eating the same stuff over and over. I may need some help in this endeavor, as we have tons of pasta now! Any really fabulous ideas for pasta that don’t involve spaghetti sauce? Please share them in the comments.
