(included is a package of diapers, our main money-sucker. I am glad I took this picture because afterward I realized I left another bag in the car)
We usually try to operate on a very strict grocery budget. This is somewhat tough given that in the category "groceries" we include all household items, such as diapers, cleaners, and personal hygiene items.
I think I am going to start looking into using vinegar and baking soda for cleaning substitutions. For one thing, they are "green," so I don't have to worry about a lot of chemicals, but for another, vinegar is very cheap. Once it dries it isn't supposed to smell anymore. I haven't tried it yet, but here is an interesting article. Did you know you can use vinegar to keep colors from running in the wash? And that if you boil a bowl of vinegar in the microwave it will remove smells and soften stains and food particles?
The more I read about vinegar, the more I am curious about trying it for more things. Apparently it makes a good shampoo, but I don't know if I am curious enough to try that yet. Maybe I will if my kids ever come home with lice.

My mother in law uses vinegar to wash her hard wood floors. It still smells after it has dried, but only for like a day.
That pineapple looks good! (Great way to mark a moment in time--glad you remembered the other bag!)
Only $75,even with all that produce! Good job. I am impressed that all of your food looks so healthy. Ours usually is pretty good, but if Adam comes shopping with me I find soda and doritos and tasty cakes in the cart... :]
