I know you're all dying to know how I did with the $1.61 I had left for two weeks so without further ado let me tell you.
During week 7 (aka last week) Liam and I went to NO stores. We spent $0 last week on groceries. So yeah, I still had the $1.61 left for this week and I made it.
Well sort of.
Ok, I went over by $0.18. But I really needed to buy some eggs so I could make cupcakes for Will's birthday. Normally I buy them about 4 dozen at a time from McCord's because they sell them for $0.99/dozen every 4-6 weeks. However they haven't had them on sale in a while and I ran out. I was going to wait but birthday cupcakes for my man were practically an emergency so I stopped at Meijer and picked up a dozen for $1.79
Part of the reason we were able to make it work is because we spent several days with Will's parents and of course they fed us (quite well in fact!) so that was less food that we had to use from our pantry. We also had someone drop off several bags of groceries while we were gone. This was an amazing blessing that I'll go into a little more in another post!
So technically we didn't make it, but I'm good with how we did!
