Shopping for Grocery Items (Girls Talk 11-4-1)

Shopping is this month's theme at Girls Talk, sounds really fun!

Time for us to share what's in our shopping list...and here's mine.

Doing the grocery is one of our bonding moments as a family. M< Leon and even Maia joins me in doing this chore. M and I shares in the grocery expenses. I'm on it on the 1st quincena while M's share is on the 2nd quincena or during month end. Since we do it regularly twice a month, all that gets into the cart lasts till the next grocery schedule. We go around the supermarket with two carts, one big and one small. The big one is for food stuff - meat products, dairy, canned good etc and is managed by M while in the small one goes the non-food merchandise, this one, Leon enjoys pushing around while mimicking his dad. So what goes into the cart? In the big cart goes meat and poultry products. Though a little bit expensive as compared to buying in the market, we are sure that what we buy are free from some disease-causing microbes. In it also goes in milk, cereals and cookies all of which are for the two little ones. You can also find coffee, creamer, sugar, condiments, bread, dairy products, pasta noodles, as well as pasta ingredients which is either in tuna-mushroom sauce or pasta in tuna and olive oil. Lately, M has been preparing carbonara since it's becoming Leon's favorite. Veggies especially the salad ingredients goes into it as well. Canned goods such as sardines, tuna, corned beef, meat loaf are also a regular on the grocery list but are bought alternately. Oats, powdered juices and sandwich spreads can also be found in the big cart. Fish products are bought in the market and M's on it every Tuesday after work ;)

An assortment of toiletries such as shampoos (for me, Leon and the 2 house helps), conditioner, TenderCare soap for Leon and Lactacyd Toddler bubble bath for Maia. Body powder for the kids, daipers also for both kids, though Leon is starting to try not to consume his because he's big already as he says...(he still can't control his pee during the evening sleep but can during the daytime siesta). Dishwashing soap both liquid and paste, detergent soap both in bar and in powder, fabric conditioner, mosquito coil, multi-insect spray, candles and matches. Toothpaste, facial wash, deodorants, cotton balls and buds, alcohol, sanitary napkins and liners --- all of these goes into the small cart.

No pictures though of us doing our grocery...so that's it, now you know what's in our cart...I might have missed out on a few stuff but basically that's it...how about yours?
