I am trying to keep my budget to only $100 a week for the month of October. If it works I may be lowering our official weekly budget to that amount.
This week I found a good deal on pork shoulder so we will be enjoying one of my favorite recipes: Southern Pulled Pork Soft Tacos — yum! I am just slightly over for the week but still close to my $100 goal.
Weekly Total: $106.00
October Monthly Total: $421.54
See what we’re eating this week!
