Amy–Yah, there are plenty of times when Chris will pick stuff up on his way home or sometimes I’ll go after the kids are in bed (if places are still open) and sometimes I’ll run in while Chris stays in the car with the kids. It’s not all bad—but it is quite the adventure most of the time

Wow, I really admire you. We also have to go to several stores to get everything we need, but I’m blessed with a husband who is willing to run around to them all really quick (luckily they’re close) while I stay home with the baby. You are the mother of all mothers!

Wow, Molly! What a different perspective! I will think about you whenever we eat our bananas that we get for some ridiculously cheap price! You are tough!
Charlsie—I know you know how crazy it is…but you’re right—it really is worth it!
Jill—Exactly…hard, yes but definitely worth it for most things

Wow! I can understand the positives and negatives. Less processed, knowing what exactly you are buying and where it comes from is nice, but lots of work to get it.

Ha I thought you were going to write about grocery shopping in the store with the 4 girls and I was going to say that our lives are pretty similar….but you are right, going to all the different stores is not all that fun! I do miss the tortillas though!!!

things are a little different here! i get to shop a couple times a year. and boy is that over whelming, and in the summer months the barge that comes every other week will have produce that didn’t freze on the way here from seattle, and if i get there in time before they sell out i may get a bag of bananas my personal fav, for $1.89/lb and once in a while we splurge on something green. so my general groceries come from shoppng in a black and white catalog from Span Alaska, and a case of lentels or anything else is not appatizing. when we first moved here i gained weight i think from all the bread i was baking out of experimenting, now i’ve lost alot and i’m thinking it’s because i am o sick of fish!!! and cooking.. anyway. God is so good, we are so fortunate! our pantry is full. we live in a land of bounty and the berries are almost on! and we have great friends who love to ook for company, and that i’m (or at least Shane) is good for.
