Meijer Trip with Husband and Kids

Not sure which is worse shopping with your husband or your kids.

So here is what I got for 110.00

10 pkg Oreo cookies (I would like to say a year supply but who are we kidding 4 months I hope)
10 pkg Oreo Cakesters (soccer snack, summer snack, slave bribe)
8 pkg Fruit by the foot (ditto)
8 cans Campbells chunky clam chowder (this travels in Danny's suitcase to Marme's so he does not starve there)
50 boxes of Kraft Mac and Cheese (this is a year supply)
2 boxes of Lucky Charms (insert threats to kids who eat up all the marshmallows)
10 Freschetta Pizzas (the kids favorite frozen pizza)
2 bottles Hidden Vally Ranch (cause Jesse complains about the dressing I got for .50)(not ranch though cause there is NO substitute for HVR)
1 pkg hotdog buns (to go with the pkg of turkey hotdogs I got for .25 at the Commissary)
3 pkg of frosting (I think this brings my collection to a year supply)
12 yogurt (a 2 day supply)

Oh I forgot to add the stuff that I bought because I love my Hubby
1 T-shirt (needed for sports day at work)
1 Nutty Bar pkg
1 Pkg Ding Dongs (I told him he was one, I found these out when I looked at the receipt)
8 6pack 20oz bottles of Mt. Dew (he takes these to work instead of buying them there)
4 pkgs of donuts (he blamed 2 of them on the kids)
1 pkg of gummy worms

Unfortunately the store was out of Capri Sun that I had a coupon for and said to come back with the receipt and coupon for my 10 free boxes of Capri Sun (can you say soccer mom)

I could have done better if I would have done smaller trips and planned better but I am still happy and Devonae is really happy to have her year supply of Mac and Cheese in the pantry.
I could have done better if my Husband had not put 43.00 of the 110.00 in the cart.
Yep his list was 43.00.
So that means I got my stuff for 67.00.

I love my husband very much and think more than worth the 43.00.

Dinner Deceit

Dinner is Tacos

My kid just asked me for more because "it is sooo delicious".

What she does not know is that there are vegetables in those tacos.

A lot of Vegetables.
And a bit of buffalo too.

Several months ago I added about a cup of food processed carrots to my taco meat.
I told Jesse and he was fine with it.
With the green light from the head man and a clean plate to show his money was where his mouth was I took it several steps further on recent taco nights.

So tonight's mix has:
Ground Beef
Ground Bison
Green and red peppers
onion
potatoes
carrots
and black eye peas



It is about 40% vegetables.

I am evil.

And I don't feel guilty.
