yvonne,

I hear you about the shopping. It is hard on tight a budget to find things that are inexpensive sometimes. It seems like the things we can't have are always on sale -- like pasta, bread, etc! Just yesterday I was in the produce department at my favorite grocery. The "on sale" produce included bags of potatoes, bags of onions, and their "fresh" salsa (which isn't very good or fresh!). All the yummy types of lettuce were so expensive so I wound up with iceberg AGAIN!

But, the cheese I really like was buy 1 get 1 free -- even cheaper than the not so yummy store brand! So keep your eyes on the ads, you'll be surprised sometimes!!

I know you're having a rough day but don't feel bad. I think you're doing great!
