Meg and I waited until today to do our weekly shopping at Martin's. We liked going on Monday better than Sunday as there were less people. It also gave me more time to spend with Doug yesterday afternoon. Since we hadn't been to the store in eight days we had a lot on our list, especially in the meat and drink departments. I appreciated that Meg was willing to go with me as it took quite awhile to find everything. We did a good job today buying mostly items on sale. In the end both of our carts were completely full and our bill was $341.
Last week it bothered me that our grocery bill was over $300, but not so much this time. As Meg explained it later we are feeding a family of six (as Nick eats with us several times a week) every meal every day of the week. I have also noticed that a lot of grocery prices have increased during the pandemic. Martin's has been a lot better than New Market was, but items such as meat and produce were still higher than they were in February. As we unloaded the groceries both Meg and I hoped that we wouldn't have to go back until the end of next week.
