March Madness WEEK 4: $133.17

Seems our March Madness has included some side-trips:

Eating Out/Carry Out: $33.59
The girls and I enjoyed Panera Bread...while Alan was meeting with the tax man. Somehow doesn't seem fair, even if he DID indulge in some Chinese takeout earlier in the week.

His/Hers Acts of Desperation: $17.37
He bought a six pack of Dogfish Head's Raison d'Etre. I stopped at CVS for a bunch of chocolate. All of both...is gone. It's just been one of those weeks.

Regular Grocery Store: $52.46
This included paper towels and toilet paper, along with most of the usual fare. I'll admit it's the second week in a row that I've bought strawberries--grown in Florida (and not unnaturally gargantuan), but not organic. It's just so fun to slice them for the girls' lunches. Our kids are really so amazing about not having any pre-packaged stuff in their lunches. (Our youngest has begged for "Pirate Booty"--apparently the newest "healthy" version of a cheese puff. They cost almost $30 for a pack of 12 4 oz. bags.)

Farmers' Market Fare: $29.75
Our milk and cheese, sugar snap peas, broccoli, apples, some pastries, and this week our oldest BEGGED for Brussels Sprouts. Did I really say that? It's true. And she would have eaten every single one if I hadn't intervened. I'll have to share the recipe.

March Madness Totals: $339.01
