I’m happy to say that I’m not doing to bad so far. My total for the month so far sits at $107.44. I was hoping for it to be a little lower, but I ended up sick last week and bought extra orange juice to drink, plus we had VBS and we were asked to bring in something to help feed the volunteers, so I picked up a few things there that I normally would not need. Thankfully, we’re doing well on everything else and should only need milk this week.

I’m making a batch of bread today, as well as some rolls. My menu is planned for the week (except for 1 day and I just could not think of anything – but I will). I got to carry over a lot of my meal plan from last week to this week since they did feed the volunteers last week. That was nice. I was dreading coming home late and still having to fix supper, and I refused to eat out every night.

I am so thankful that God has provided us with so much. I cannot imagine how we could make ends meet sometimes if it wasn’t for the daily guidance that He provides. He is truly awesome.

Onto a new week and a continuation of my grocery budget challenge for June! Remember, my goal is to spend $300 for the 5 of us for the entire month.

I’m issuing myself a personal challenge. My grocery budget is normally $400/month for my family of 5. Thanks to milehimama and her inspiration, I’m going to try and stay within $300/month. My freezers are full and my pantry is pretty much where it needs to be, so there really should not be any excuse for me to not to be able to do this. Wish me luck! I know I can do this! I’m a frugalite! I can do this!
