So I have the Publix ad out and am working on my grocery list and am struck by the amount of things I will no longer buy even if they are BOGO and I have a coupon. :)   I can't believe how much crap food I used to buy just because it was on sale.  Okay, I still want the key lime pie that is BOGO this week but it ain't happening!  

 I did the same thing last time I went shopping & laughed to myself about it.

My grocery bill has gone down so dramatically that I no longer earn fuel points.  Wah...

LOL!

I do all my shopping at Trader Joe's except for my orange juice since they don't have the type I like. My husband gets me that at Kroger when he's getting his stuff. My grocery bill for myself at Trader Joe's would be probably about $50-$70 for almost two weeks worth of food.

Now that I'm sleeved I'm looking forward to halving that. How cool would that be?!

 Man, I wish we had a TJ of Whole Foods.  I live in Podunkville and the neareast TJs is 150 miles away!  The nearest Whole Foods is 100 miles away!  :(

I did my grocery shopping yesterday. I got a couple things of gerber baby food, cottage cheese, dannon light & fit yogurt-it was the one with the lowest sugar content, I couldn't find SF yogurt-tomato soup, butternut squash soup, quick cooking oats, powerade zero, fruit cups in own juice,SF popsicles, muscle milk and herbal tea. Of course I won't be able to eat some of these things until week 2, but I wanted to get the shopping done ahead of time.
Hope that's helpful.

My grocery list today:

Some kind of fruit
Some ground meat
Squash
Water
Deoderant
Toothpaste
Lotion
TP

That's it. 
I forgot to put milk on the list so now I'm stuck without that and wondering about protein shakes with water - yuck!  But pretty much covered it all. More non-food items than food! How crazy is that??  I do eat lunch at work though so that kind of cuts it down.

 No doubt, eh?  I can't believe the low-protein, high-carb crap I used to buy just because a had a stupid coupon for it. Screw that!

I have stopped couponing for this very reason. I should still dabble to get the string cheese and some other things cheap or free but I use to get MASS amounts of food for pennies --JUNK FOOD--that I don't eat anymore and I realize I shouldn't be buying it for my family. They don't like my new eating habits all that much. lol

 I still coupon for non-food items (cleaning, grooming, etc)  I seldom use any food coupons any longer.  Last week I used a couple of coupons for free-range eggs and almond milk!  LOL
