Last Week we came in under budget spending just $32.50 that’s $31.50 less than we could have spent. It is now Wednesday and we still have had no desire to go out shopping however we do need a few staples. I think going to the relatives for Easter has set us back a bit this week. Yes that means we ate too much and food has been the last thing on our minds!
I’ve posted a couple of new handy Tools for you in the Kitchen which you can print for free.
I’ll keep you all posted of our weekly Grocery Shop by updating this post as we shop. This week we can spend $64 + $31.50 for a total of $95.50.
