The 'Give Me Five' Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here's how it works. Each week, Becca will put out a random topic from her list of topics and participants share 5 answers of their choice on the given topic and link back to her! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn't have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.

Give Me Five staples on your grocery list besides milk, bread and eggs.
*
1) Cereal - the kids eat cereal every morning for breakfast. When they come grocery shopping with me, they each get to pick their favorite kind. We have switched to the big old generic brands of cereal from Target because we go through so much. Cereal is also a snack favorite around here.
*
2) Juice - It is like coffe to my children. They need their orange juice in the morning to function. They only get one glass of juice per day because of the high sugar content of juices in general, and they love it!
*
3) Uncrustables - these are little peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that are pre-maid. We get the kids up at 6:00 in the morning to catch the bus at 7:00. Between scurrying everyone through breakfast, the bathroom, and getting dressed, these save me lots of time. They are a little more expensive than making my own, but the kids eat them and they help make our morning routine more manageable.
*
4) Diet RC Cola - This is the only soda I have been able to find that contains splenda. Not my favorite, but when I need a sweet-fix, this does the trick.
*
5) Fruit - fresh bananas, grapes, apples, and canned peaches, pears, and oranges. This is a great and healthy after-school snack for my kids. We love our fruit around here. :)

I try not to take my boys shopping with me, I find we all get frazzled by the end of it. Picture my hair going every which way, with one child under the cart and the other trying his hardest to climb out, then both of them screeching at the top of their lungs at nothing in particular...ok, so it's not like that EVERY time but it sure is incentive for me to grab some alone time by going shopping by myself!
I don't believe I've ever tried Uncrustables, but I had never heard of them until we moved here last year, I don't think I've ever seen one either. I think I may need to change that.
What a great list! Happy Monday!
We tried the uncrustables and neither of my kids would eat them.
Cereal is a staple for all three meals around our house.
great list of yummy stuff...at our church we serve the PB & J sandwiches, the kids love them...I love cereal too...forgot that one.
I've wondered if the Uncrustables were any good! I'll to try some!
You can buy pre-made PB and J sandwiches?? I'll need to Google those because I want to see what they look like. *lol*
Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
Cereal is a must around my house too. Sometimes we eat it for dinner before bed! LOL Great list, I need to buy more fresh fruits and veggies than I do. Happy GM5!
Oh yes cereal and fruit those are big ones also for my kidlets! lol I hope you had a great Monday! Thanks for stopping by my page! :)
Those uncrustables sound like a brilliant idea!
My kids & I love fruit as well. My middle child would rather have fruit than cookies. I also am a mom of three. It is so much fun. I have one son & two daughters. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Oh I love this! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to hop on this meme wagon myself.
