Oh my, I feel utterly exhausted. Overall, I had a pretty productive day. After waking up at a reasonable hour, I exercised on my Wii Fit for an hour while watching the Survivor Season Finale on hulu.com (I haven't watched it since the first season and somehow I got caught this season) and doing a load of laundry. At 12:30 I left for work and worked for an eight hour shift until 9pm. I can't even tell you how much of a difference those two hours make at the end of the night. When I got home, I continued to compose a grocery shopping (something I've been working on for the past couple of days) and I think I've finalized it.
Honestly, I've never quite realized how difficult actually creating a shopping list and trying to determine where the best deals. Looking through the weekly circulars, I've tried to choose foods that are currently on sale while at the same time know that I can actually cook/make something I'll eat with those foods. Dave allowed me to go into his bank statement and calculated just how much money we spent of food from April 13 to May 13. Can I tell you, we spent way too much money in that month on food. We went out to eat way too many times and wasted the food that we did purchase. As of right now, our kitchen cabinets have very little in them and we need to restock.
Knowing this, I really tried to put together something that was economical, healthy, and appetizing. It just took so long... I can totally understand why I haven't done this more often. Of course, there is that knowledge that the more you do it the easier it gets but I feel mentally drained and I haven't even stepped into the grocery store. Honestly, I was hoping to get much of our produce from Farmers Markets but unless I go into Boston, most around here aren't open until next week. So ideally, I'll go to one next week when they are open. Alright, I'm tired.
