Exactly what can we make out of this?

Kenny had the day off today. We went out to lunch, did some errands, visited a friend, and I had a Dr. appt. The entire day, I was trying to convince Kenny to go to the grocery store with me. We have no food in the house and I figured we needed to stock up before L arrives. I honestly thought it would be a couple hundred dollar trip. Here is a picture of what we ended up with. Really? What the hell can we make with any of this?

Tortilla chips
Summer sausage

Butter

1 can of pumpkin

1 can of soup

String cheese

Potatoes

English muffins

OJ

Creamer

1 box of club crackers

2 lbs of ground meat

That's it.

Pathetic. We are totally screwed.

Green, but still trendy

Did you know that approximately 380 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year and about 100 billion of those are plastic shopping bags. Only 1 to 2% of bags end up getting recycled. That means that 1 million plastic bags are used and discarded worldwide every minute of the day!

Since it was Earth Day yesterday, I felt I needed to add another "earth friendly" thing to my list. I consider myself a relatively green person, but I can always do more. Every little bit helps!

I have been meaning to get some reusable grocery bags for a while now. But, every time I am at the store, all they have are the ones with the specific store's name on them. Sorry, but I don't want to tote around a King Soopers bag at the farmers market, or wherever. I am too shallow for that-I fully admit it. After searching for a few hours, I came across these. They have a few different styles, but I decided on the retro kitchen set.

I am very excited to use them. Hopefully, they aren't delivered in a box the size of a house, stuffed with Styrofoam peanuts...

Update: I got them and I LOVE them! To top it off, they were delivered in a very small recycled envelope-brilliant.
