Grocery Costs.

Our grocery haul for the week. Dh is in charge of our

shop and he set a budget of $135 per week. Most weeks,

he does really well, staying under that amount or even

hitting it right to the penny. But some weeks, like this

one make it go higher ~ we have guests for dinner so

there is no way to feed 10 people within our typical

budget for the week. So thankful we are comfortable

enough to go over without being worried. But we have

really noticed a big increase in the cost of the items we

like to buy. It's harder to eat healthy. I'll never really

understand why junk food is often cheaper than food

that is nutritious. Food is survival and should be free!

How are you coping with higher food costs?

Covid Memories.

Every once in a while, a photo from a

previous experience will pop up on my

feed. This shot, taken the week that we

were all first told to stay home, that the

World was under seige with Covid, was

a week of worry, terror, uncertainty, and

so much disbelief that somehow a virus

was going to stop all activities. With a

10 year old in the house, we spent a lot

of time trying to figure it all out, and still

ensure he could have a childhood. I do

feel we did a great job. Covid memories ....
