It's Friday, time to report in and tell us what your weekly total was on groceries. Mine was $55.88.

My total is $47.89! I can't believe how little I spent. I won't be able to do this every week as I used a lot of my pantry. But it was great to know I could do it.:rah rah:

Yea I totally blew it - DH was home almost all week with some personal days and his scheduled days off all clumped together, and well.. when he's home, the budget gets a slam, if you know what I mean. I'm almost sort of dreading his 10 day vacation that's coming up in the next month or so.. *cringe* I'll try this again starting next Friday though when DH gets paid again.. til then, the bare-cupboard-wednesday & thursday that we experience every week will be a full week long..

47.90 for groceries and $40 cash back for our eating out budget.
Next week I am thinking it will be less. I am visiting my parent so I won't need to cook anything and I am sure DH can figure out something form what we have just around the house. So I am thinking under $20 for next.

$120, but we are on the every two week schedule. What is funny is I spent this much when I went every week. I had DD in tow for the first time when shopping, so I'm sure I missed some coupon opportunities.

I'm hanging my head in shame!

I am way over but ...

My most favorite aunt in the universe (second mother to me) is here for the weekend an I just spent $65 on tonight's dinner alone - for 11 people. I think we have way too much company to keep things simple. We eat frugally when we're alone but with company, sometimes I just want to go all out.

I knew I'd go over the $50 mark as this was a "major shop" week. My total: $61.
