I definitely spent a lot on groceries, trying to cook [or not, but still to provide a square meal] as the school year began, and bought a pair of walking shoes. I need to plan better with the groceries. The problem is our cash flow, and also that we have one car and I'm often on foot buying groceries. Kings is the supermarket I can walk or bike to.
