Sorry that I missed posting last week. We spent $115.54 thanks to some sale items at Publix and eating a very basic menu.
This week was unexpectedly very busy so my 18 year old did some “maintenance” shopping for me. We are eating very simply again PLUS we earned enough referral credit over the last few months to get 40 pounds of ground beef from Zaycon, so my total for this week is abnormally low.
Note: To keep costs low for the gluten free items we shop sales, buy GF products from Aldi and order items from Vitacost (click HERE to grab a FREE $10 credit!).
Weekly Total: $49.39
April Monthly Total: $279.34
