Thursday grocery shopping

Every Thursday Mike & I (or one of us) will go to an organization known as CCA. It stands for Catholic Community Action. It provides all sorts of help to people who need it. They have helped us get caught up on our utility bill and provide food vouchers. The food that you get there for the most part is pretty good. The amount of food you get is determined by the income and number of people in the house. They have frozen meat like hamburgers, chicken, turkey rolls, sometimes diet food and today gallon containers of ice cream. I was really tempted to pick up some of the ice cream. But we are allowed three frozen items and I figured it would be better to get actual food as opposed to junk food. Besides our freezer was filled to the brim with bread. Each time we go we are allowed five loaves of bread. Which is far more then what we normally eat. We have tried to tell them that we don't need that much but they are very insistent. We finally got to the point where we pulled out what we thought we would not eat and gave it away to the neighbors across the street. So we did our good deed for the day. Now our freezer isn't as full and we can put other things into it (no not ice cream as much as I would like to) we can go out and buy some meat on sale to give us a little more variety.
