June Grocery Purchases

I make these posts to keep myself accountable, and try to close gaps of unnecessary items.  I feed 4 adults 2-3 meals a day, and sometimes 2 more elders.  I also teach private music lessons 30 hours a week on top of running two other businesses.  I have an auto immune disease (Crohns) that has me getting an infusion every 4 weeks that wipes me out for at least 2 days if not more.  Yes, I could bake more.  Yes, I could make my own cold brew.  I myself do not drink soda, but I have family members who request it.  I pick my battles. I use coupons and deals.   Please do not judge.
