It's Not Rocket Science!

Why is it that when my wife shops for groceries, she spends $150 + and I am able to make it in and out for around $50? It's not like I am only buying junk. Take today for example. My proof is in the photo.

Basics:

Eggs (On sale)

Milk (On sale)

Loaf of Bread (Not on sale but we needed it.)

Parchment Paper (the only item my wife said she needed.)

Breakfast:

Large mixed fruit bowl

Lunch items:

Lunch meat (On sale)

Cheese slices (On sale)

2 bags of chips (On sale)

Dinner items:

Ground Beef (On sale)

Lettuce for salads

Snacks:

2 packs of peanut butter & Cheese crackers (On sale)

2 packs of Publix cookies (On sale)

Other:

Couple 4 packs of Red Bull (It gives me wings.)

1 White Chocolate Kit Kat that called my name at checkout

Game over! Even after tax, I cashed in at a little over $50. Throw in a case of beer and we are still only talking about $75. I do not get it.
