Did a little "combat shopping," as Shawn calls it, at the grocery store equivalent of Black Friday.  Spent more than I meant to, which isn't good.  I did get a lot of good prices of food storage items, which is good.  I'm going to see how long we can go without shopping again, except for turkey, cranberries, and cool whip for Thanksgiving.

Also, thanks to generosity of Mom and Ted, we have a really big bag of potatoes and a freezer shelf full of meat.  That will help the grocery budget stretch even further.
