It’s shopping haul time! This month has been a little disjointed. I was gone on vacation twice in one month, so groceries and other shopping was minimal in August. Before we left on vacation, I wanted to use up a lot of what was in my refrigerator, freezer and pantry, so I cleaned out my refrigerators and actually gave them a good scrub before I left on vacation. When I went to the store, I only bought what I needed for recipes the week before we left and also purchased snacks for the road trip portion of the trip. When we got back, I needed to purchase groceries for the remainder of the month. When we got home, I was out of EVERYTHING! Ya’ll know how that is, so the September portion of this haul is huge!
