It seems that no matter how carefully you plan there is always something that you run out of before it is time to do your grocery shopping again. This causes extra trips to the store, or the "pick some up on the way home" gambit. I know that in my case it is . . . bread! I live by myself, so a loaf of bread should last at least a week. I don't know where it goes, it just seems to vanish. So I find myself frequently stopping on the way home to pick up yet another loaf of bread.

If you had to name that one item that you always run short of, what would it be? Limit yourself to only one item, the most common one, please.

Toilet paper - for some reason I always seem to forget to get it when I do my regular shopping. It suprises me that a $5 package of toilet paper ends up costing me $30 by the time I check out.

Mine is milk. I have a 24 year old son still at home. You'd think with just the 2 of us a gallon would last a few days at least. But he can drink a gallon a day by himself.

2 days of cereal will wipe us out of Milk. I am always out of milk. I guess I am in denial.

Just being Hubby and my self, we do our shopping ever two to three weeks.
But in about a week and half we have to pick up more bread, some times milk and always some pastry.
I love my plain donuts with morning coffee.
He of course loves his night time cup of coffee with a turn over or sumpin.

Without a doubt...MILK.

Thankfully, we literally live right next door to a CVS and across the street from a 7-11.

We usually go through a gallon a day.

I remember someone saying that milk was designed to do one thing: Turn a 50 pound calf into a 300 pound cow in 6 months!

Having a grocery store makes it easier to remember the milk, bread, and food needs. It's gas here. I find myself running low on gas.

Thankfully, we have a station about one tenth of mile to our left and a another that is three tenths of mile to our right. For Mayberry, that's not too bad.

Toilet Paper.
TEA for Iced tea.
Franks Red Hot

Anything else can wait.

Toilet Paper.....

If you eat a lot of the one, you have to use the softer brand of the other, I'll tell you that for sure.

I usually stop for a bag of ice to refill my cooler for work, but not for the next 2 weeks.

We buy milk 3 gallons at a time, but still run out occasionally... it is all the kids we have!
