Groceries!!

The holiday season is upon us!! But I'm still in a little denial about the remaining ingredients I still need to buy for Christmas cookies.... not to mention the stuff I need to get for the lasagna. I'm still recovering from Thanksgiving, darnit!!

This week, I was able to stay $20 under budget, so only $20 left to recover!! It's always so helpful when Albertson's put a $5/$50 coupon in their flyer. It helps me ever so much over at Publix.
