Aww... thanks M2M!! But, I really don't hold a candle to most of you here. I'm really trying, and almost obsessed, with getting that food budget down. You all are doing so well!!!

I think DH is becoming the prime suspect budget buster!!! Out of the $46 I've spent so far this month, only $18 was spent at the grocery store! The rest was DH stopping here and there at the drive throughs!!! I have to work on that man!!!
