The trick with my new way of shopping is to stock up when it is on sale. I have converted my hall closet into a pantry, and my freezer in the garage is just about full. Last week I got 10 Mayfield 1/2 gallon ice creams, and 20 Green Giant frozen veggies for $19.30($90 value). Pretty Awesome!

Sorry to keep it so short, but I am keeping Livvy today. Kristi and Travis are at the hospital, and little Ally Claire should be here soon!! YAY! I am not used to havin 2 kiddos running around, so I gotta run! Ta-ta for now.......
