And I am feeling good! We have more food in this house then we ever have. I went to Aldi's. I bought a ton of canned fruits and veggies, lots of noodles and sauce type things, a couple of gallons of milk, 3 12pk of pop and just a ton of stuff! Literally, my cart was overflowing. I kept loosing bread off the top. When I checked out, my total was only $148!!! Then I went to Sam's and got a bunch of other things (including a baby outfit, not for me!) and spent $188. So for less then $350 my kitchen, pantry and basement shelves are totally full. I should not have to spend hardly anything on groceries for at least 3-4 months. I am excited

Oh, yeah, I also should not have to leave town to shop again for a long time, saving me gas money!!!

I did the same thing with our actual tax return, but I plan to do it again. That is, whenever we get our money!

Good for you. You will save so much money on gas and all those extras that jump in the cart since you won't have to shop for awhile.

I did the same thing today!! I had TWO cart fulls and it took me about 3 hours total shopping time. I do have a few things I need to get at our store in town because I knew they would be cheaper there.
