5, 19 and a wild card of your choice for the asks, pls and thank youuuuu!! If those do not spark joy for any reason, feel free to swap them out for whatever you want!!
005. what made you start your blog? answered :)
019. favorite thing about the day? about like, days in general? or about today specifically? bc specifically today, i slept in until 10AM and then my best friend started texting me and we hopped on a phone call to catch up with each other for the first time in a few weeks and spoke for an hour and a half which was an AWESOME way to start my morning. in terms of my favorite thing generally about a day, it would probably be that moment when i've settled everything up and i get to lie in bed under my duvet and get to settle in and know i can read or watch a movie or whatever uninterrupted.
wildcard: 002. show us a picture of your handwriting? i was too lazy to actually write something new, and also i think any attempt at writing to show my handwriting would be impacted by the v nature that i was aware it was going to be shown, so i looked through my phone for a pic and found this handwritten list of the cooking/assembly schedule for our christmas eve meal this year. it is messy af, but honestly...an accurate representation of what my real handwriting looks like (yes i almost always write in all caps):
ask fun questions!
#ask#phdmama#i think after staring at it i have figured out that the top left hand corner text says 'R NOW' as in 'right now'#also it looks like i wrote 'dewilled eggs' instead of deviled eggs which is funny to me personally#for your reference the list says:#RNOW - dewilled eggs; 4:30 - roast pepper salad; 5PM - potatoes w/ caviar; 5:15 - charcuterie; 5:35 - mushrooms; 5:45 - meatballs;#5:50 - red peppers + mozzarella; 5:55 - bread#(my family likes to do tapas/appetizers for christmas eve and then we just have tons of leftovers for the next few days)

What I spent on groceries in July (A Grocery Geek report)
Want a peek into our grocery cart? Here’s how I’m buying groceries and feeding eight people on the cheap.
Hey there! Hi there! Can you believe how quickly the summer has flown by? We are inching up on back to school, so I’m battening down the hatches!
July was a pretty relaxing month with beach days and trips to the movies and a weeklong visit from friends-closer-than-family, but at the same time, I tried to keep my eye open for things that will make my life easier once school starts.
If you’re new here, you might not know that I teach my kids at home. The two eldest are in college, but I’ve got four students on my watch. Trust me when I say, “The days are just packed!”
That means I need to be on my game. This month I spent a fair amount of time prepping fruit for the freezer. Or rather, my daughters did. They were my chief cherry pitters as I stocked up on cherries that were on sale. All my kids love to make smoothies, so if I can fill our freezer with bargain frozen fruit, we’re in business.
I also found a few other items on clearance, like a variety of jams with at least a year before their best-by dates. That’s the only good thing about your Walmart remodeling. They unload some good stuff for cheap. The rest of the time, you’re cursing them for moving EVERYTHING to a new location.
But, I digress.
You’ll notice that our overall bill this month is a little higher than normal. I attribute that to a few splurges at ALDI as well as the stocking up for later thing. Since our average was already under budget, I had plenty of cushion to go over. In fact, our year-to-date average is still under budget! Yay!
And we’ve got surplus in the freezer and cupboards for future months. With six kids it’s pretty hard to get ahead in a truly substantial way — they are perpetually hungry! — but I’m trying. In doing so, particularly when I find screaming deals, we save a lot of money.
Per the most recent USDA food cost reports (link below), we’re more than $300 UNDER a food stamp budget for a family of our make-up. Yay for good cheap eats!
The Grocery Geek report
For those of you new here, Grocery Geek is my regular report of how I shopped for groceries, what deals I found, and my running total of how we’re sticking to a budget for groceries.
Here’s the rundown on my shopping this week. As you read, keep in mind who and how I’m shopping:
My grocery shopping profile
To update you on my grocery geekiness:
I’m feeding eight people, ages 55, 46, 21, 17, 16, 14, 11, and 9. Five of those people are males. They eat A LOT!
I’m shooting for a budget of $1100 this year, trying to beat what the feds think it will cost. Per the most recent USDA food cost reports it should cost our family $1346.60 to eat all meals at home under the “thrifty plan” for people of our demographics.
We live in Southern California where produce is cheap, but meat and dairy are not.
I’m trying to feed us mostly unprocessed foods, with a few “healthier” convenience items thrown in and a junk food splurge* here and there.
I work at home and teach five of our kids, so I don’t have as much time for fiddling in the kitchen as I would like.
I no longer use coupons on a regular basis, though I do love the coupons that Ralphs offers.
I have at least ten grocery stores within 5.5 miles of my house. It is easy (for better or for worse) to stop at several stores to get the best deals.
We mostly eat at home. My husband and college age son often pack lunch and breakfast to work, but sometime have lunch out. My husband and I enjoy a date once a week. FishPapa takes one child out to “dinner with dad” once a week. We eat out as a family on average once a week.
