Every week I work very hard to keep my grocery budget (excluding my Bountiful Baskets purchase and the Grassroots purchase I recently shared) at $50 or less. Mrs. Seamonster got me showed me its possible so every week that is the goal I strive for. I really only have $38 to $40 a week for groceries since I do spend anywhere from $10-$12 on milk. We only drink organic and its pricey. H loves his milk.
This week I am challenging myself a bit further and going to try to spend even less. I have quite a bit stocked up in the pantry and freezer so I am going to try to prepare meals that need minimal ingredients (that I don't I already have on hand). In reality I should be shopping like this on a weekly basis so this will become a weekly challenge.
