And the winner is.....

So, I've been experimenting with different grocery stores over the past two months.
I have always shopped at walmart but I wanted to ensure that I was really getting the best deals.

So, I shopped at Sprouts... great produce and fresh meat! Occasional good deals on certain items, nice place to buy bulk health food items such as flaxseed and nuts. Otherwise, pricy and limited selection of food.

Then, Aldi.... charged me 25 cents to use a shopping cart, crowded, full of elderly folks who creep along at a slower than turtle pace, chicken I purchased was dark meat and disgusting, fruit was bruised, bananas were all yellow, milk was the same price as walmart, everything was a brand I didn't recognize.

Central Market, too high!

Kroger, has good deals on certain items but overall too high.

Tom Thumb, has the best produce out of anyone but is higher priced than Kroger.

Walmart Neighborhood Market, nice prices, less selection than regular Walmarts, takes fewer coupons.

And the winner is>>>>>>> WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!>>>>>>>>>

Here is the receipt from my shopping last night. I bought enough food to last Bri and I two weeks.
Fruit, meat, baking items, toilet paper, milk, eggs, desserts, peanut butter, shower gel....

You get the picture.





































So, for what I concluded, single mothers who live on a fixed income, or anyone who lives on a fixed income, it is best too shop at Walmart for day to day groceries.
If you are planning a party or special event, tom thumb or kroger would be better.

If you are a health nut, you can buy certain things at sprouts and central market, and buy the bulk of your items at wally world.

That's all for now

this is awesome, I totally agree that you can't get a better deal than walmart. I end up spending too much money when I go there though. Props for scanning in your receipt :) Come over soon please, we miss you and Bri. I'm looking forward to having Bri with us a few days soon.

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

I hate Mondays!!!!!

Friday night I went to see Highschool musical with Bri. It was a great movie, the best of the high school trilogy by far! Definately made for the big screen. It was about the high school musical cast's senior year. So, it reminded me of when I was in highschool and everyone says, "You have the power to become whatever you want to become... ... Then, you start to think... I want to change the world... I will be 26 in one month and I have realized that when someone tells you that you can be anything you want to be, it is not necessarily true. I do agree that people create their own destiny and are forced to turn any situation into a good one BUT my life turned out nothing like I imagined it. Last night, Bri said she wished that her whole family lived together in the same house and then she started crying. I told her I was sorry she felt that way and that I understood because I used to want to live with ANYBODY else besides my family. When I was in highschool I researched college...
