Budget

We are trying our best to stick to a strict budget. This includes our groceries. Well, with a new little one, it's been different and difficult. We stuck to our list and this is a picture of all we purchased for $100.74. We only had one coupon and a couple of great sale items! There are 47 items. Diapers and formula next week will increase this by about $55.00. So, our budget per week is about $125-150.00 a week.
Menu: M-Sandwiches & ravioli (daddy has a business dinner); T-Chili & potatoes; W-Spaghetti; Th-Stuffed shells & sauce; F-Pizza; S-Soup & Sandwiches (I would've liked to make tot casserole...but Ali hates it!)

We're all brown bagging it for lunch as well. We're also buying regular items instead of so much organic. I try to go organic as much as possible, but now when it's on sale.

Next week, we will weed out the extras...coke and tortilla chips. There's really no need for us to buy those, especially the coke! The lime tortilla chips are a family fav, but Dave says we have to live like no one else now, so that we can live like no one else later.
