Total Grocery Spending for all 4 Weeks:
Less then $200!!!!
That's amazing!  Considering - I stocked our freezer with pork, beef, and chicken which will last about 2 months.  Also stocked up on canned goods.  This also includes our laundry soap, dish soap, and toilet paper.  Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, and healthy fruits and veggies.  Mind you, Thanksgiving was in there as well (I didn't cook a whole meal, but did bring food to two different family dinners)

I'm one proud mama.  I hope we can keep our grocery budget under $200 for each month that I am on maternity leave.  Fingers Crossed XXXX
