It's about 40 minutes to the nearest big shopping area- there are other areas in between, but that's where things like Sobey's, Walmart, Superstore and so on are. So we go once a week-ish. Today was our once a week. Can I just say how magical it is to not have to worry about how much things cost while grocery shopping? I mean- obviously within reason, but just being able to get a couple extras is a big thing. Shane will be irked with me because I went over-budget but I had to restock some of the pantry basics like yeast, flour, baking powder- all that stuff, and it's only a few days until payday, so I decided to pay back into savings then and save a second trip this week. He can deal. It's only really an issue because we need to replace the car in a couple weeks, so we need the 'extra' money for that, but I can't do without the basics around here forever. Now I have pantry stuff to cook with, and a coffee maker. That's right, I've been living without a coffee maker since we left BC, and even then I was only using a coffee press. I shelled out the whopping $10 for a cheap coffee maker, and another $10 for coffee to go with it. I also replaced my 9x13 pan, so caramel rolls and coffee are in order as soon as the weather cools down.
I'm trying to lj more- because my previous journals documented a great deal of 'stuff' and I feel like it's nice to have that to walk back through things as I need to. I want to have that again.
