Loveliness

We went to the grocery store and bought a few items.  The 20 things in the picture cost me $1.40.  Did you notice that the yogurt was organic?  Healthy food CAN be had and it doesn't have to break the bank.  On the way out of the store, I was stopped by some beautiful roses.  It was the color that made them irresistible to me.  I debated whether I should spend $5 on these gorgeous 10 stems.  I am glad my frugal side lost out this time.  I sent Chris a picture of the roses and told him that he could have them.  And give them to me, if he'd like.  He did.  Now, I don't have to feel like I splurged.  The children wondered what the occasion was.  I told them that we needed this little bit of loveliness in our home today.  And just because.  And I got my husband to treat me with them in the end, so I think it turned out to be a very good shopping day.

P.S.  I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging about how little I spent on my groceries today.  I can waste money with the best of them.  I just wanted to demonstrate that God does provide and eating healthy can be done, even on a budget.
