Price of Groceries?

Have you seen the price's of different grocery items, lately?  It seems to be a never ending battle, when going to the grocery store.  I've gotten smart enough to shop at more than one store, for items I know are cheaper to buy.  Aldi, gives certain food products for good prices but limit the types you can get.  So, for specialty items that can only be gotten at the other stores, I have to go there and pay higher prices to get what I want.  Walmart, gives all the different items I need, but at higher prices.  So, I have to divide up the shopping list and make sure to get what I need from each separate store for the quality and price I can afford.  I rarely find the same items at one store for what I need.

Eating Out

There comes a time when you just don't want to cook.  Especially on your birthday or during holiday shopping.  Recently, my birthday was celebrated at a local restaurant.  It was just my boyfriend and me, but we had a nice visit. I got my entree' free but was very let down with the quality of the food.
I got a steak and it was tough, and not very tasty.  We bought beer and my boyfriend got Chicken Ques Dias, which he seemed to like.  The beer topped off the meal, but I could have had better with the food.  Maybe, I will pick different menu items next time to please my pallet.  Either way, I will send it back if I don't like the way it turns out, since I will be paying for it this time...........lol
