This Week's Grocery Shopping Trip

Last week we signed our next 2 years of life away by signing a contract with a company to come out & side our house. Which will start in 2 weeks. YAY!

Anyway, we will be on a very strict budget until we get this paid off 2 years from now so I have to put into practice all the frugal tips that I have learned over the past years.

That means a lot of cooking!.....from scratch!

So here is a picture of the groceries that I bought for this week. Grocery shopping will be on a very strict budget as well. I am hoping to be able to buy everything we need for 4 people (plus a few meals a week for another family member and 9 cats) a month for $300. We'll see.....
