If you read my post earlier this week (How to Save $50 on Groceries this Week) then you know that I was able to pull together seven dinners this week from my pantry and freezer. I am super happy because we are trying to save money and this enabled me to spend only $32 for breakfast and lunch items.
Weekly Total: $32.13
September Monthly Total: $242.21
($125/week budget for six people so I am way UNDER-budget this week — woohoo!)
