First trip to Publix

So... I must admit I was a little skeptical about this whole Publix thing. Well that all changed Sunday. I collected coupons and did research throughout the week and it paid off! I was able to buy $150 worth of groceries for $50! It equalled out to be 45 items! I was so excited. I got tons of cleaning supplies... the cost of these alone would of been at least 50 bucks at Target (were I used to shop ;) I am hoping to get down to even less. I have read on a couple of blogs of ladies from our church were they bought about $100 of groceries for $10- what in the world?!?!? Sounds unreal... but they have the pictures to prove it!

All in all I was pretty please with my savings, considering this was my first trip!

Here is the picture of all of my goodies...

Bye Bye Soy Milk

We have been trying Garrison on cow's milk for the past few days... and so far we like what we see! No intolerance symptoms, no bad diapers, and his eczema seems to be staying the same! What a huge praise this is! Not only did Garrison go pretty smoothly with the transition our grocery bill has went down roughly $20 a week!

His lactose intolerance has been something we have battled pretty much since day one with our sweet little boy. It was so hard to see his tummy always hurting him, not to mention disgusting cleaning up vomit and awful diapers ALL OF THE TIME ;)

We are going to give it another week or two and if things keep going great then we will introduce him to the wonderful world of cheese!
