This past week I only spent $75.00 on a weeks worth of groceries for our family.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183742013821135662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035850.post-11787086345288578322010-09-02T21:54:36.864-07:002010-09-02T21:54:36.864-07:00I've been couponing....seriously couponing.

But yeah, we could do better on filling the dishwasher and/or not dirtying so many dishes. <br /><br />The only snacky things we buy are goldfish, graham crackers, and ritz. No fruit snacks or cookies, etc. Our budget killer is always the fresh produce and dairy of all kinds (which I LOVE). <br /><br />I'm glad you decided to keep Samuel. He's a cute kid. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940099662062821657noreply@blogger.com
