				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/duggars_652.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>And you thought shopping for your family was hard. Try buying groceries for 19 kids &#8212; plus grandkids! We’re imagining an army of Duggars running around the grocery store &#8212; kind of like that old game show <em>Supermarket Sweep</em> (anyone remember that?!).</p>
<p>Well, Michelle Duggar of the TLC show <em>19 Kids and Counting</em> told <a rel="nofollow" href="http://moms.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/09/11097728-breakfast-with-the-duggars-what-it-takes-to-feed-19-kids?lite"><em>Today</em></a> that they spend about $3,000 on groceries a month to feed their hungry brood. Michelle said that they do one big grocery shopping trip a month, plus smaller weekly visits.</p>
<p>According to <em>Today</em>, a typical Duggar shopping list for just one day includes:</p>
<p>3 dozen eggs</p>
<p>5 lbs. of turkey bacon</p>
<p>20 biscuits</p>
<p>10 oranges</p>
<p>4 lbs. of grapes</p>
<p>3 loaves of whole wheat bread</p>
<p>4 lbs. of sloppy joe meat</p>
<p>3 lbs. of green beans</p>
<p>3 lbs. of potatoes</p>
<p>2 watermelons</p>
<p>2 family-size bags of lettuce</p>
<p>4 lbs. of spaghetti noodles</p>
<p>3 loaves of French bread</p>
<p>2 pans of brownies</p>
<p>1 gallon of vanilla ice cream</p>
<p><strong>That’s a ton of food! How does your grocery shopping budget compare to the Duggars?</strong></p>
