I have to pause here & praise my husband, who gets a lot of credit for going along with our gradually shrinking meat-menu. He used to look at the dinner and say, "Where's the meat?" Now he is simply pleased when there IS meat. Cutting way back on meat has helped the budget a lot, and has made room for the organic food we buy. We eat meat a few times a month.
Evelyn and I did a little grocery shopping yesterday--had to buy a little toy for a friend, so stopped by a Dollar Deals store to get it, and ended up buying some cereal and canned goods there. The latter were really not that great a deal, since the grocery store had the canned beans I'd bought priced at .89 instead of the dollar I'd paid. Oh well. Live and learn!
So, with our Dollar Deal stop, a pause at our local hole-in-the-wall natural food store to get our organic, bulk spices, herbs, couscous, rice, and carob-covered pretzels, and a genuine grocery run, we spent $104.43. Let's see how far that takes us!
