SO... I have a question for everyone. In your monthy grocery budget, do you include EVERYTHING (Food, cleaning supplies, H&B products, diapers??) or just groceries?

So far just food, because I get the H&B free at walgreens and the cleaning supplies too.

Ok ladies, critique away! LOL! The string cheese is pretty much non negotiable as are the Capri suns, and I don't see me giving up my diet pepsi any time soon (and that is good for my familys sake!LOL).

I don't normally buy the foil pans, but a good friend of ours was in a motorcycle accident and I am making some food to send over to their house so my friend doesn't have to worry about cooking for a couple nights when she is taking the girls to see their daddy.
