My grocery list...

Manic mommies group is doing a contest and I just have to put in my 2 cents worth.  Yeah right - more like 200 dollars worth.  It's a grocery list for my family of 5.  That means there is no way that it can be 2 cents worth.

I tried to scan my list with my daily menus on it but the scan turned out so light that I couldn't even darken it enough to read it.  It also has lots of marks on it where I crossed things out as I put them in the shopping cart.  Even on the back of my list there is a list of how much everything cost rounded up to the nearest dollar.  It's pretty sad in all reality that the necessities in life cost so much.

Anyway - here is my list and the menu all typed out so that you can read it...
