Shopping

You will notice that I do not record about my shopping anymore.  I thought that would be interesting but really it was tedious and not that much more informative.  If one knows what I eat, one has a good idea of what I buy.

Part of what I thought might be interesting about it would be a comparison of prices, but without it all in one spreadsheet, it isn't visible that way.  I do have a pretty good idea of what things cost even without that.  today I went shopping.  I had a small list (there were a few things that were not on the list) and I had approximate prices on it.  I was pretty close.

A new thing I have added to our list, thought of it a week or so ago and actually bought it today, was oyster crackers.  We eat a lot of soup.  We often have toast with it but now always.  I recall crunching up saltines in my soup when I was a kid, but they get soggier much more quickly than in the oyster cracker format (otherwise they are basically the same as far as I can tell.)  I would not imagine that I would use it in cream soups - more then tomato based ones, but I got it today when I expect we will have potato leek soup for dinner.  Will I even offer it?  I am not quite sure.
