*I use to play every week too, before we started having kids. Then it became less frequent.
Jason would often take 1-2 of the girls with him each week. They love playing and running around the gym. Sometime some of the other guys bring their kids as well so they can all play together.
We decided this would be a good night for our shopping day. When we get to the gym Jason and I usually play 1-2 games (his grandpa watches the girls). After those games I head to the store(s) while Jason and the girls continue to play. Sometimes I will take one of the girls with me and we spend some 1-on-1 time together.
The area I go shopping has quite a few different stores so I have many options to choose from. Meijer, Kroger, Martin's, Walmart, Target and Aldi. Each week I look through the ads from all of these stores and find the best prices on both things I do and don't need (are or aren't on my list). I write down everything I think I would get. While I am shopping I make sure to keep track with a calculator so I don't go over budget.
Here is a picture of what I bought this past week.
Pizza
Grilled Cheese

Some of the items I purchased were:
milk
shampoo and conditioner
razors
milk
brownie mix
meatballs
ranch
toilet bowl cleaner
toilet paper
pepperoni
stuffing
baby formula
tums
hair ties
This week I already had my chicken and hamburger at home so I didn't need to get any. We also ALWAYS have pasta and sauce at the house. I usually stock up when it is on sale. Since I already had these staples, I could get some of these extras that I normally would not have gotten (toilet bowl cleaner, stocking up on shampoo and conditioner -we already had these at home-, the juice and Gatorade).
Here are my receipts. I shopped at Kroger, Martin's, Dollar Tree and Walmart. The one to the far
I usually get gas on Thursday's as well. Our van takes E85 and there is a gas station in the area I go shopping. This particular day, I went a little over budget because of the formula. So I just cut back on how much gas I put in.
Some of the meals we have made this week include:
Updated Meatball. Jason and I saw these made on Steven and Chris one day and thought we would try them out. They are delicious!!
