Since today was a maid day (she lets Goliath out while she's cleaning) we have a little extra time after work. We used that time tonight to eat dinner, and then go shopping at Meijer for Christmas Eve and Christmas day food. Just for the heck of it I entered everything we bought, and then sorted it from most expensive to least expensive. I am always curious to see what other people have in their cart at the check out line, so this is sort of a cyber-peek into our cart:
