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...

Our Experience with Covid 19

I'm writing to share our experience with Covid-19. With the reopening of the lockdown, many new cases are flooding the world. My husband is the Regional Sales Manager at Century 21 Judge Fite in Rockwall. He has been in real estate for the past seven years. He is an amazing realtor and even better manager. I am very proud of him and I stand behind him no matter what. Saturday July 5th is started feeling ill after a work out. He had recently joined Legends Fit in Rockwall and started a program where he had to lose 25lbs or 6.9% body fat in 6 weeks and he would get a free membership for the year. After 3 weeks and a very strict diet and workout, he had lost close to 20 lbs and 5.3% body fat. He started running a fever Saturday afternoon and felt very fatigued. No real respiratory symptoms and his pulse ox never dropped below 98 percent. His heart rate was double his resting heart rate. He tested on Monday morning and received word Tuesday around 5:30pm that he was pos...

Ashton's Birth Story-VBAC

I started this last pregnancy journey with the goal of finishing my second VBAC. Here's the story (So that I never forget any of my children's birth, I have documented each one's stories)... Around 4pm on Thursday August 1, 2019, I went into the hospital. I was having irregular contractions, dilated to 2 cm and 50% effaced. I was 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  Here is a photo: I am almost 6 feet tall and had gained nearly 50 lbs. Most of which I gained in the first and second trimester. I continued to workout this whole pregnancy in hopes that my body would bounce back quicker. Time will tell. So, my doctor came in around 5:30pm and said he was going to do the foley cervical dilation balloon again since that worked with Elizabeth. So, they inserted the foley balloon which is extremely painful because I have a tilted cervix which apparently hides behind my spine. He tried to do it with a tool and ended up having to do it manually with his hands.  Then, I ...
