21 and some change

I am a bit disappointed in my $100 month for groceries because I don't think it is fair for me to be sitting at grandmas eating all her food saying that I did a great job at keeping it under $100. So I went to Aldi today and got some fruit and brown sugar and candy for Sam's birthday and sour cream and potatoes and spent $21 and some change. I think that is all I got this week, except 4.58 on ice cream. So I think Once our house gets back in order i will try again. I do think I did a pretty good job at clearing out some food at home and keeping it to the basics. I think everyone should try it if they are trying to do better on a budget. I know $100 is not very much, but you could pick the amount that you think you could use to just skim by and then just do the best you can. I bought only food with the $100. I didn't use it on toilet paper or anything that was not edible.

I agree I think you did really well. Reading your blog has inspired me to at least think about doing it :)
