Best grocery month ever!
We had a really inexpensive gorcery month this month, and it included some stocking up. (I had to make up for last month's disaster!)
I only spent $211 this month and I have a fully stocked pantry and freezer.
(One little cheat, though, we were away for a week)
Really, all I bought this month was stock-up items, fresh fruit and veg, bread and milk.

Way to go! March was not good for us. I blew it big time. I don't even want to know by how much. April is going to be a good grocery month for us, I know I can do beter.

Wow $211 is about what some non-frugal people would spend on one dinner out. Way to go!! I'm going to try and keep track this month. I always have good intentions, but somehow they go by the wayside during the month. I need to get this under CONTROL!!!

Good for you! I went over my budget this month, but not by much. I hope to do better in April.
