Project Grocery: Shaky Hands
Maybe they're shaky because ReStore Score is going to be featured on BlogHer.
Or maybe they're shaking so much because...
(Trumpets, please. Hand trumpets will do, in a pinch. You know, if you don't have a regular trumpet just lying around like I do.)
We went to the grocery store on Tuesday as we recovered from our vacation (still more on that coming, including the Best Steak Ever) and spent...and spent...$40.88. My grocery budget has a black eye! It's weaving blearily around the ring, wondering what happened to it, and sincerely hoping I don't hit it again.
This stellar grocery shop (sans kids, which was heavenly) has brought the average right down to $119.99. Picture me, pyjama-clad, banana in hand, doing a (silent) double fist-pump at my desk.
Or don't, because that's weird.
Now - of course - the bar gets set lower. Or higher, depending on if you're lying on the floor or standing up. Far be it from me to revel in awesomeness, when I have the opportunity to set the grocery budget at $110 and can moan and whine about how we can't meet it.
Fun times.
(If you're new here, and totally confused, may I suggest Project Grocery: A Review, and the page of numbers that is the Project Grocery page?)
