$300 for DH, DS-9, DD-3, Me & Dog
This includes toiletries, paper products, etc.
Does not include my whopping $30 restaurant/pizza monthly budget

The last couple of months have been at $280, but I went over last month by $50! Gonna try to be more careful this month.

I'm in again!! Budget $80 for 2 adults, 1 dog and 1 cat.

I'm starting to find my $80 budget to be VERY challenging. Food prices are through the roof.

thanks - it did take a while to plan my list, but so worth it!! Your girls are about the same ages of my boys!! I did not take them with me to the store. It is so less crowded at night! Here they are all open 24 hours, so I don't have to worry about them closing on me!!
