My life is ridiculously busy this month and I have not had the time to photograph my shopping trips. Thankfully, in spite of all the busyness, I have been able to keep the grocery bill mostly under control.
Weekly Total: $104.09
May Monthly Total: $254.70
($125/week budget for six people so I am under budget for this week and on track for this month so far. )
