Grocery Day!

So, because the economy is wrecking havoc on the construction industry, my employer has cut back our hours. While I've always wished for three day weekends, it's not quite as much fun without pay... or without Drew here to share it with! Today I decided to take advantage of my day off by going shopping as frugally as possible.

My total out of pocket - $36.25
