This is my entire shopping trip for this week's dinners

Number 1 This is all I had to buy to make our menu dinners this week.  I have everything else in the pantry or freezer.  I love to be prepared.

 And speakig of being prepared, I love that I now have everything I need for the week and don't have to stress about running to the store for one missing ingredient.  The store is close (one mile), but it still puts a hole in my day when I'm rushing to make dinner after work.

I picked up a cantaloupe and some bananas in addition to the necessaries and my total was still under $15.
