2 Week Shopping Breakdown

I did very little shopping last week, so it wasn't really worth a post.  Instead, I decided to just combine those items with this week's shopping.  Dear Husband wanted to come along, so there's at least one "impulse" buy in our shopping.  Oh well, I guess everyone needs a little treat once in awhile. 

Last week, I took advantage of the one day sale on chocolate milk at Dillons that I posted for everyone.  I stocked up on 10 gallons, so our deep freeze is loaded.  And yes, I think it's perfectly fine to freeze milk.  We have been doing it for at least 2 years now with no problems.  I do try to stick a towel under the milk when it's thawing in the refrigerator, because every so often it will leak out of the top just a little as it's expanding and moving.  However, it's very minimal & the towel takes care of any potential mess.  I also grabbed a few bags of potato chips that same day.
