Day 6: Grocery Setbacks

I had another setback. I asked my husband to go to the store for me and gave him a list. Sweet man that he is when he came home he said, "I got some other things that I knew we needed." $136

Under old ways of doing things I would have loved this, but we are not going to spend half of what we have been by doing the exact things we have always done. I see this experiment as me working at home. Being frugal is work, and the work of it is my contribution to our family income at the moment. I have my husbands full support with this project, and I am going to have to not shirk the work. So I have asked for some tough love, no help with grocery runs. Ouch. I think until we have our grocery purchasing under control I need to be the sole purchaser.
