Actually, I don't know which addiction is stronger: spending or going! My kids are having fits trying to get me to go to the grocery store(so they can go with me, naturally). Since I did all my shopping over the weekend, I really don't need to go. I didn't go yesterday either. I'm enjoying the freedom myself;but they can't stand it
;0)

A funny sidenote: Give a kid a veggie peeler and watch them go nuts. Talk about empowerment! My youngest three were each dying to help me peel the three carrots I added to the roasting hens I was baking(three in the 18qt. roaster) So they took turns and my three carrots went into the roaster and they each wound up with a good snack that I didn't have to prepare or urge them to eat!

Hubby and I went shopping yesterday. We took one of our dds along because she needed shoes. We shopped at Walmart, Alid's and our local grocery store. I still didn't get everything on my list, but I think we kept frivilous extras down pretty well. I kept all receipts so I can keep track of prices and spending habits.
