Out with the old and in with the new

Well folks February may be the month of new stuffage. I recently purchased some new glasses and contacts and there is a new grocery store in town called Buy-low that I am really liking.

(I decided to get the Transition lenses in this pair so we'll see how that goes)

Buy-Low has been awesome for fruit and veggie deals!!!!! I bought all of the goods below for $9.72. Because I am a nerd, I watch Zonya's health Bites on PBS sometimes and she recommended to prepare the veggies and fruits so that they are easily accessible and easy to use. I usually snack while I am cooking so I have found that if I get the veggie tray out while I am making food I snack on the veggies and fills this me up on the good stuff first.

I also crave sweets after meals like crazy and she says that if you double your fruit intake you wont crave the bad sweets so I am going to give it a try. She also says that if you want to loose weight to tripple the amount of veggies you eat.

I have still been going strong at couponing. My grocery amount for last month was

$300 and that doesn't include all of my rebates, the stuff I purchased for my mom, and diaper deal for my sweet neighbor Laura. If I subtract all of that it came to about $225. My food storage is growing and sweet Jeff even had to put up some new shelves for me.

p.s. Albertsons is doubling coupons up to $1 this week making a lot of things free!
