Another busy week as we start the serious packing for our move in a couple of weeks. I shopped at Aldi for most of our groceries and picked up some organic lunch meat and yogurt at Publix.
There were not a lot of good sale prices in our area so I stuck with some inexpensive basics for our meals.
Weekly Total: $128.40
August Monthly Total: $276.13
($125/week budget for six people so I am slightly over budget this week.)
