“Groceries have become so expensive lately, it is cheaper than eating out but when your toddler demands fresh berries every week it makes it hard to get out of the store under $100 each week.”
Oh my gosh, yes—our toddler is in a total berry obsession phase too, and those tiny cartons add up fast... I feel you big time on the $100 grocery battle! -Danielle 😊
