I managed
to stay on track and under budget this month.
Meal planning makes all the difference in the world. We had plenty of variety and I feel we met
our nutritional needs in the process.
Here is
the final tally of everything I purchased this month:
The
items highlighted in blue are my “stock up” items. As you can see, once again, I spent more of
my regular budget stocking up on things than my usual $25 per month.
