Time to Go Shopping?

For the last three days I have been feeling good. Finally! Friday I got this huge burst of energy and decided to clean the entire kitchen, top to almost bottom (I hate floors. I only do them when I absolutely can't stand it anymore.). I even cleaned out the fridge and Christian cleaned the oven. I suppose it could be nesting, but I still have four weeks left.

Usually I only clean out the fridge when it is disgusting and I can't take it anymore either (yes, I'm lazy when it comes to deep cleaning. You got a problem with that???) Anyway, it was quite easy this time to clean it out, and I'll show you why:It's easy to clean when there's nothing in it! My fridge looks like this right now. Top shelf: cream cheese, ranch dressing, Country Crock, leftovers from last night, yeast in the back. Middle shelf: orange juice, milk, water, and a gallon of Dippin' Sauce (if you've got a gallon of Dippin' Sauce, you don't need anything else in your fridge. You could sustain life on that stuff forever.) In the cheese drawer: a small block of cheddar cheese. Bottom shelf: frostings and Capri Suns left over from Ethan's birthday party. Fruit & vegetable drawers: empty.

There is a reason why my fridge is so empty. You remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about our food budget, and how I upped the amount so I had an amount every week I could work with? Well, at the beginning of this month two grocery stores in town had case lot sales, and I went a little crazy purchasing cases of green beans, apple juice, peanut butter, etc. So things have been a little skimpy toward the end of this month to make up for the case lot splurge. But hallelujah, it's May, and my budget has refreshed! So this evening, my fridge will be completely stocked with all sorts of good stuff (and my cupboard will be stocked with all sorts of junk food, but that's another post for another time).
