Now I remember why dh doesn't grocery shop alone

He just spent $350!!!

please tell me not on ice cream.

No, not ice cream. We have practically a whole cow in our freezer. There really was a LOT of food. Plus we tend to eat a little on the expensive side -Kashi granola bars instead of Chewy and the leanest beef and whatnot.

Yes, sounds like us. Did he clip coupons? I know when I don't go with DB... he spends a crap ton & when I shove coupons at him, he tells me that he could afford it anyway. Men...

That is a lot! But if I didn't pay attention, I could probably spend 350

I spent $150 and almost died...but then I realized it's been a long time since I went grocery shopping.

At least he bought good stuff and didn't come home with fruit rollups and a case of macaroni and cheese like my husband would.

I spend like $50 a week, even with the hubs here.

That's what Wes would do!

Lol... DB would buy steaks to make daily. I asked him once about potatoes that he had bought. "It takes too much time to cook! So I just ate it semi-raw when the steak was cooked" I don't know whether to be grateful that he is eating his veggies... or to die laughing.

what newspaper down here has coupons in their papers? we need to start clipping coupons asap we spend so much on food its ridiculous

The Raleigh paper has the coupons!

Yeah I hardly ever let John go shopping with me. He buys like 1238298137329148 cans of soup. He LOVES soup. I hate canned soup besides chicken noodle and tomato soup. Then of course he gets all types of weird things that I normally don't buy....he makes our grocery bill go ^...

Do you get the paper? I tried for a while to get a newspaper with coupons, the Jacksonville paper only has one of the three booklets available, Raleigh and Wilmington both have the others, but only if they're delivered, but they don't deliver here. I had to get them mailed, but then we didn't get the coupons, despite that when I asked that when I started it, they said they did.

The DB and I spend $200 on just the two of us every week and a half or so...

I'm big into the organic stuff which costs more $

I havent been to the grocery store since he left (almost 3 weeks ago) I just havent been very hungry....

They have them at some of the gas stations Jess. My friend goes and picks them up for me on Sunday mornings. She gets her self two and gets me one while she is there.

Just asked my friend she said it was the News and Observer ...so the Raleigh paper. She said most of the Circle K gas stations carry it.

I need to do coupons!

sweet thanks!

would it be the same if I got the news & observer out of a machine?

as long as its the sunday paper it should be the same

great, thank you!

Thanks Tater! I probably don't need it now, haha, but that's good to know.

yep just make sure and check inside the paper some people steal the coupons!

DH went to the one across from new river and they didnt have any left

Yeah, the Sunday paper is usually one you have to get first thing in the morning to get any with coupons at least.
