Minimalism in May, Part 3, Halfway Point

May is already half over!

ALREADY!

Maybe its the busy-ness of this month, but the days are moving so fast!

I was planning on writing a post for our two year anniversary that was Monday, and then suddenly it was Wednesday afternoon, and I gave up on that idea!

Anyways, we are halfway through our minimalist month, so its time to check in and see how it is going...

I went to Aldi last night, which was the first grocery shopping since the beginning of the month trip.

The milk was expired, so I figured it was about that time.

For the first time since I can remember, I left the grocery store getting everything on my list AND spending under $10.

Now THAT is impressive!

(I only had two things on my list, but whatever!)

The only thing keeping it from being truly minimalist was that a carton of ice cream and a carton of sherbet "jumped into my cart".

Oops.

But oh well...sometimes you have those weeks where you need a little treat (Chad) or to satisfy a craving (me).

I haven't even looked at the sale ads for the local grocery stores the past week.

Because then I see good deals that I think we need.

And it seems to be working well, and I have more time on my hands (that gets filled very easily with other things!)
