    Default Talk about frugal living!

    My in-laws are going on a diet (kind of a low-carb, South Beach kind of diet I guess for health reasons...long story). They are wanting to get rid of some of their 'bad carb' stuff...and they are gonna let us have it! It couldn't have come at a better time--the cabinets are getting bare and we're pretty close to broke until the end of the month (I'm trying to make a grocery list based on what we can get at Aldi or Big Lots, lol).

    It'll be 'shopping time' at my in-laws' this weekend!

    Lucky you! Always nice to fill your cupboards when the pocketbook is bare.
