That last week we also had our daughter's birthday party with a large number of people. But that is going to be a separate post, so I didn't include those groceries, which contributed to several meals because of leftovers.
Starting soonish, I will do 1 post for each week. I will include our dinner menus along with that week's grocery lists.
Chime in! Have you been able to stick to your budget so far this month?
