Now it’s time for this week’s topic!

FMM: The Grocery Store

1. Do you make a list when you go grocery shopping? Do you stick to it? I dig out all my cookbooks and recipes I’ve scribbled down and work on a meal plan for the week. I then work on my list. I pretty much stick to it, but there are always a few extra items. (especially if B-Fry comes along)

2. Do you buy more groceries when you’re hungry?   I try not do, but it does happen.

3. Coupons. Use ‘em?  I use them if I have them. This week was the first week I made B-Fry go get a paper so I could do some coupon cutting. Awesome buy of the week: I got body wash that’s normally $6 for $0.88!

4. Have you ever complained to the manager of your grocery store?  Nope, I’ve never really had a reason to.

5. Do you like to buy groceries at huge chain stores like Wal-Mart and Target? Or do you shop exclusively at food stores?  Here in the Midwest we have HyVee. It’s a grocery store and they always have a decent selection of stuff. They even have a little health food market which is pretty awesome. I also do some shopping at Target if I’m in the store and they have a decent deal on something.

6. How much time do you spend reading labels in the grocery store? I don’t spend a ton of time reading them because I tend to buy the same things. But if there is something new I want, I pull out my phone and calculate PointsPlus. Also, if you’re a Droid user and haven’t heard, Weight Watchers just got an app on there!! WooHoo!!

7. Do you push your own grocery cart to the car and return it? I always return my cart. It drives me nuts when people don’t. It’s not that hard….seriously.

8. What is the one food item you always buy at the grocery store that you must have in the kitchen? Bananas, lettuce, yogurt, 100 calorie bags of popcorn

9. Do you enjoy grocery shopping? I really do love grocery shopping. I like looking for new items and items for new recipes for the week.

10. How often do you shop for groceries? B-Fry and I hit up the store every Sunday. We get what we need for the week and if I need to I stop sometimes during the week if I need a last-minute item.

FMM: Giving the Boys A Chance
1. Who is your pick for the Final Four?
This is the first year I’ve ever filled out a bracket. B-Fry’s work is doing a pool and half the money is going to charity, so he invited me to join. Now I don’t really follow college basketball, so I don’t know a lot about the teams. But I must say I’m not doing too bad so far! My Final Four are: Purdue, Butler, Duke, and Kentucky. I have Kentucky winning it all, which I’ve caught a lot of slack for, but when they when, I’ll be telling all them “Told you so!” Haha.
2. What is your favorite workout/fitness activity?
I enjoy running when I stick to it. I fell off the running wagon during winter. I just haven’t worked up the courage to get out there when it’s all snowy and cold to go for a run. And I have no access to a treadmill. Running will be my main activity here very soon though!
3. Do you have a favorite healthy snack? Something that REALLY hits the
spot?
Bananas always hit the spot. Or a 100 calorie bag of kettle corn. Yum!!
4. What is your dream car?
I personally HATE owning a car. I find them to be nothing but money pits. But I live in a small town and have no access to public transportation. I will admit that I would LOVE to have an El Camino someday though. Ya, those cars that have a truck bed, that’s what I want. I’d settle for a BMW or a Jeep Commander too though. ;)
5. Have you set any goals for yourself this month? What are they?
I did set some goals this month. I posted them in their own post at the beginning of the month, but here’s a quick review! 1) Earn 75 APs+ 2) Meet my GHGs 20 days this month 3) Write a recipe or food review (which I’d like to know which one you want) 4) Hit Onederland 5) Go on a photog walk
I’m doing pretty well so far with my goals! So go me!! :)
