So, I'm reading a post from a few days ago about some fellow bumpies who judge people based on the items in their grocery basket. If I were to see you at the grocery store, what would I see in your basket?
Here's what would be in mine:
For Tegan:
A dozen or so jars of baby food, some Gerber graduate snacks, YoBaby Yogurt, some fruit cups, a jar of applesauce, maybe 1-2 pasta pick up type meals, some frozen good "finger food" veggies
For DH and myself:
Frozen chicken breasts, cheese, milk, cereal (probably something honey nut flavored, since we agree on those cereals), probably a pack of cookies, some Yoplait yogurt, maybe a few frozen meals, a pound or two of ground turkey/beef, some pasta, a box or two of mac and cheese, rice, and an assortment of fruits and veggies (basics like bananas, apples, brocolli, onions, etc.)
Re: What would I find in your grocery basket...?
For the kids:
Maybe some baby food for Grady, although he isn't that interested anymore, Annie's Mac and Cheese, YoBaby yogurt, Cheerios.
For everyone:
I usually pick up a taco kit, whole wheat bread, some kind of deli meat and cheese, Greek yogurt, Ellio's pizza (my pregnancy weakness), lots of cereal, fruit (always bananas and apples, and whatever else strikes my fancy), sweet potatoes, baby carrots, a couple of bags of salad, ice cream if it's on sale, lots of shredded cheese, pasta, and sauce.
