April was a 5 week month for us. I still stick with our $300 month grocery budget even if I have to stretch another weeks worth of food out of it. I was really impressed with myself this month. I usually run out of money to buy milk and bread 🙂
I stayed out of the store and only purchased items that we needed or were a great price. It helped that I only made 1 Harris Teeter Triples trip and the WAGS and CVS deals weren’t really what I wanted. I did deplete my meat supply a lot, so I think my mother-in-law will take me to the commissary for meat this month. I may need to use the leftover money from April to supplement that. We’ll see…
