After last month’s pantry clean out for the Fast Track Savings Challenge I had a little bit of stocking up to do but thanks to Aldi’s low prices and planning inexpensive meals for this week, I was able to stick to the budget.
Weekly Total: $121.89
October Monthly Total: $121.89
($125/week budget for five people so I am on track again this week — woohoo!)
