April Grocery Budget

Total Grocery Budget = $340.00
Total Spent = $339.00
Total Savings = $1.00

This was our *tightest* month. But...we went on vacation for a week and enjoyed a few restaurant meals. When the money was running low, I was happy to dig into our freezer and pull out frozen veggies (from last summer's Farm CSA). This was also our lowest budget ($340). We've been decreasing it little by little since January. I don't think we're decreasing next month.

As far as I'm concerned, this was one more month where we lived within our budget. It's such a good feeling.
