TRUTH IN ADVERTISING DISCLAIMER:
I really wanted to show you only what I bought today (Friday), because it would have looked like I am within my weekly budget. The truth is, however, that I made a trip to Publix and Walmart earlier in the week, so I am over budget.
I am still under budget for the month so far, but we will see what happens next week.
Weekly Total: $121.97 food $10.50 nonfood ($330.74 value)
Monthly Total Spent: $359.12 for $827.96 worth of products (all food, toiletries, medication, household items, etc.).

Yes, I bought 22 packages of Kraft cheese! $.99 is the lowest price that I have ever seen for cheese. If you still have the $2/2 blinkie coupons, these would be free. I used mine during the last Kraft sale.
The cheese will last a while in the fridge, but we grate ours and put it in the freezer. We grate our own because the pre-grated cheese contains antibiotics to retard mold growth. I don’t think we need that in our systems!
