(Excuse the terrible lighting.) My daughter and I did our last big shopping trip of the year back on November 12th (Sprouts and Whole Foods) but I never got around to posting about it. Today I picked up my Azure Standard Coop order and next week I’ll pick up my order from the Oklahoma Food…
A Slow Month Update – January totals
January is over (can you believe that?!) and I thought I’d do a quick report on my “slow month” challenge. My last post was this past Sunday and I haven’t bought any groceries since. That means the grand total for the month is (drum roll, please): $137.81 I’m really pleased with that, especially since it…
A slow month update- January 27, 2013
I’ve made two brief shopping trips since my last “slow month” update. I had volunteered to make a big pan of green beans for a local charity organization so I ran in to Apple Market following the MLK event Monday. I needed green beans and bacon for the dish (I still had onion at home)…
Another “Slow Month” – January 2013

February – Slow Month #2
I meant to write more about this but got caught up in the Grammy Awards…and Facebooking and Tweeting about it. But since I have plans for another post tomorrow I’m going to go ahead and post this barebones version of an update tonight. Below is what I’ve spent on groceries so far this month. This…
Final update on January’s “Slow Month”
Well, folks, tomorrow is the last day of January and the official end of my “Slow Month” challenge. Here is what I’ve purchased since my last update: Apple Market (Jan. 24th) I forgot to write it down but I’m pretty sure this was what I bought. I don’t have a receipt because I always donate…
Slow Month Update – #2
I meant to do this earlier so I do hope I can remember my purchases. One evening after work David was in town and asked if I needed anything. We were low on milk but since he didn’t have cash and was going to have to write a check, he asked if there was anything…
