Week 1 Quick Trip

I've realized that it is hard for me to last more than a week and a half without going to the store.  Since we don't have a deep freeze, I typically only have room for two extra loaves of bread in the freezer.  And we always need more milk.  The three of us currently consuming milk will go through 2-3 gallons a week, give or take.  For now, I am going to try to buy organic milk twice a month, and buy regular (but hormone free from Aldi or Costco) on the in-between weeks.

Although it still counts as a stop at the store, I love only getting essentials and not having to think about menu ingredients every week.

I prefer to get bread and cheese at Costco, but I wanted to one-stop-shop ths time.  The baking chocolate was marked down to $1.33 (a holiday item, I think), and I have a specific recipe in mind that uses it.

Aldi $12 + tax
$28 left for the month
