A Typical Friday at the Meijer

My Friday mornings are starting to get very routine with a trip to Meijer complete with two consistently crabby kiddos.  I even stopped at Portillo's and filled them up with hot dogs prior to the shopping trip hoping to avoid a deja vu moment, but they quickly forgot all the yummy goodness and fun we had there and transformed into two bickering brothers the minute I pushed the land-yacht cart through Meijer's front doors.  Here is a quick pic of happier times...lol.

Nothing thrilling this Friday.  Here is what I took home for a total of $59.76 OOP:
