Belated Christmas Shopping Bonanza!



My sweet parents gave us a $100 bill for Christmas to buy anything we might need for our food storage. This $100 bill was seriously burning a hole in my pocket; I don't think I've ever had that kind of currency in hand before. My kids were oogling it!
I finally made it to Costco today and wanted to show my mom what $85 bought; the other $15 is being used for toilet paper!

Just a rundown for my mom (I'm sure no one else really cares what we are eating lol): 50 lbs bread flour, 25 lbs sugar, case of mandarin oranges, case of fruit cocktail, case of green beans, case of canned corn, case of chicken noodle soup, case of black olives, case of beefstew, box of dried fruit, raviolis, 3pk of bratwursts and a bag of chicken tenders. Those items were low in my pantry...I've slacked off a bit since being a food storage specialist.

Thank you so much for thinking of us and letting me go crazy at Costco! I really had a fun time not worrying about what I was spending :). Love you guys!
