Well, I am over budget this week and this is what happens when I am rushed and have to go to the store without a plan. I had to change my shopping day at the last minute due to some unexpected scheduling changes and I didn’t have time to make a menu or a grocery list.
I splurged on deli roast beef for sandwiches to make an easy meal as well as two top round roasts to make London Broil. We will eat one this week and one will go in the freezer for later.
Weekly Total: $147.73
August Monthly Total: $ 147.73
(Because we are eating most of this food in August I am adding this week to my August total instead of my July total.)
